Nightmares anyone?

Probably a silly question but here it goes...  I keep having horrible nightmares about my son being hurt or killed by someone - not by me or anything.  I keep waking up really upset because they seem so real.  I think it is probably caused by lack of sleep and new mom worrying.  But last night was really bad and I'm getting sick of it.   I was wondering if anyone had this with PPD?  I am just so scared of having it and not knowing it or getting help.  BTW I feel fine otherwise.  Thanks!

    I didn't personally have anything like that with my PPD, but I have heard about a lot of women having anxiety based fears like that.  PPD can also be anxiety based, or PPA.  I would call your OB and see what she has to say.  GL!

    BTW - not a silly question!!

    I have had some weird dreams lately, not so much about LO, but about my DH.  Its starting to freak me out.  But, I don't think it is PPD related. . . are you seeing a counselor?  If not, might you consider it?  I wonder if some talk therapy could help deal with some of your worries and concerns.

    Take care!
