  I could relate.  I didn't experience it as bad as this article described, but I've definitely jumped at the sudden visual of our baby falling over our stair banister or a car running over the stroller.  Sounds nuts, but at the very least it makes me more aware and cautious.

  I am so glad I came accross this post. I am lurking from the 3-6 month board since my DD will be 6 months next week. I was trying to explain this to my husband the other day, I thought I was going crazy. I have the most horrible thoughts and they seem to real. I even have thoughts about my own family hurting my baby girl even though I know they would never harm her. I think it is probably the worst feeling I have ever felt. I feel hopeless and confused, not to mention scared! It really makes me hold her tighter and hug her more.

  Yes, thoughts come over me while I'm driving home from work all the time.  I think it's because I'm alone in the car with no distractions.  I often think of someone harming my kids or even the thoughts of me dying and my kids not having a mother.  Ugh!  It is horrible...I have to push the thoughts out of my head very quickly.

  I'm glad you posted this.  I was afraid I was going to have to go back on the anti anxiety medication.  So far no actual panic attacks from it but it's been close.  My DH has told me about some of the nightmares he has had.  He usually doesn't remember his dreams so for him to tell me about them it's a Wow moment.
