does this happen to anyone else?

Whenever I wake up in the night (not due to DD crying), I am overcome with panic that DD is in bed with me and is suffocating!  Usually I am holding part of the blanket in my arms and I think it's her and so when I wake up, I start peeling apart the blanket/sheet layers trying to find her.  It's takes a moment or two for me to realize that I'm half asleep/still dreaming.  The really weird part is that I have never (not even once) brought her into bed with us.  I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I am just terrified of SIDS and her suffocating, hence the nightmare I guess... Am I the only one?

You are not the only one! But I do bring him into bed to nurse him 2 or 3 times a night.  So when I wake up disoriented I am always afraid I will find him smooshed under a breast.

It's scary.

Probably not..but I co-sleep with DD and just recently started not holding her close to me and still don't have the issue..I think at first I was mainly afraid of SO rolling onto her or something never myself..

I've had this happen to me twice and I damn near died of a heart attack.  The last time I had my arm wrapped around the pillow and I thought it was his bum.  I worry I got up and took him in bed with me while in a deep sleep without realizing it

yes!  i've woken up in bed on my back thinking i've fallen asleep holding my LO in the recliner in her room.  and then when i realize i'm in bed i think, oh i forgot to get up and feed her when she cried!  but in reality i'd already gotten up and gone back to bed.  it's so weird.
