I’ve had some pretty intense dreams since my first pregnancy but this sounds really scary like a horror movie of some sort. Have you talked to anyone I know it may sound crazy but maybe you need to rest let someone else take care of your baby except feeds just maybe for an hour or two.
@Teela that could be it. I am definitely extremely tired.
@Jo'Nique it was 😭 It’s one of my worst nightmares. Demonic babies and animated dolls. I definitely need more sleep
Be gentle with yourself get rest and stay hydrated you got this mamas
This reminds me of postpartum psychosis please talk to your doctor about this asap
I can’t even image how scary and horrifying this was you. way before I had my baby or was even pregnant I had an experience with a sleep paralysis demon and it was traumatic to say the least. I can’t even imagine how scary it when a baby is in the picture!! Like others said it does sound like some sleep deprivation. If you have anyone that could take care of the baby for you or in the same room as you while you get a solid few hours of sleep that might help a bit.
I would also bring it up to your doctor they know how to handle this better probably and they can keep a look out to make sure it doesn’t worsen into psychosis or something even more horrible and if it does they know who to refer you out to <3
It sounds like you may be suffering from some major sleep deprivation and your brain was becoming increasingly more desperate for you to wake up because you had your baby in your arms while sitting up
