Does anyone else have horrible dreams or kind of thoughts as you are nodding off to sleep about yucky things happening to your little munchkins or family?

I don't think you're cuckoo, I think you're a Mum. and yep everytime you see the news at the moment there is another horific story about a child in one way or another, so it is probably just praying on your mind.
take it easy and try not to focus on it at awake times. If you can ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Hmmm its strange and not all the time but once in a while I will have a real yuck time with it. Maybe my mind is working over time.
Last night I was nodding off and was kind of half asleep/half dreaming I was driving Paige up to the Airport for her trip and we crashed. Then I couldnt wake either of them up. That kind of thing. Its weird. and horrible :o( -------------

I think it's a totally normal mum thing. I worry about my kids all the time, when they were smaller I used to lie in bed and imagine they had stopped breathing in their cots. Unless it's starting to affect your life in a major way (ie. make you not want to go anywhere in case something happens etc.) then I wouldn't stress about it. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Hugs. I had something like this for about a month before Kryssi was born. The more I thought about it, I got worked up and couldn't get them out of my mind! So yucky. I think it probably has a lot to do with the news lately too. ------------- |

I do this too. 
I was lying in bed last night trying to go to sleep and I kept having horrible thoughts like Sam getting cancer or us having a car crash and my partner surviving and having to tell my mum that Sam and I were killed. It's horrible and I have to keep saying to myself 'STOP IT!! STOP IT! You are being stupid!!' I think it's normal for us to worry about things like that with all the news that's going on, like it seems like every week there is an awful fatal crash or someone is abusing an innocent child.

Yup, I do it too. Being a mum has made me worry so much more about the 'what ifs' than ever before. Things just randomly pop into my head out of the blue and I'll spend 10 minutes worrying about them before I realise I had absolutely no reason to start worrying about it! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:
