Since the very first night home from the hospital, I usually wake myself up at least once a night pawing around for the babies in our bedsheets. We have never co-slept, but I always seem to believe little bundles of my blankets are one of my babies in the middle of the night. I kind of freak out when I can't find the heavy lump that should be their head, I'll shoot up in bed, I've grabbed at DH's chest, I've even apparently pulled a boob out to try to BF the phantom babies. Hubby always has to wake up and tell me they are fine and in their cribs. It seems to be lessening now that the twins are 3 months, but flares up when I'm super tired or eat chocolate before bed
Does this happen to anyone else postpartum? I've seen it mentioned by a few other internet moms, but had never heard of it before it started happening to me. It makes me feel so crazy sometimes!
