This will sound loopy to some and forgive me if you don't believe in this. I am x-posting with the I'm Pregnant forum because it interests me.
Something made me think of this today. There was someone living with us in the townhouse years ago where we lived when my DS3 was born. Someone we couldn't see, if you know what I mean.
I have always experienced spirits in various places (none in this house now, I am surprised!) so it's normal. And I didn't feel bad things about this one like the ones I'd grown up with.
When the baby was born and brought home, the presence was constant wherever the baby was. Often, when we settled into bed, I could feel this presence (which seemed like a male to me) sit down on the bed with us. Nothing else, just sit there. It wasn't all the time, but fairly often at first (and you know how often we wake at night and get up to pee or change positions to breastfeed in bed before settling back in).
When Jack was a week old and my husband went to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy, I called mom to watch the kids so I could be there for him when he woke up.
Mom has no problem piling into my bed with my kids, so she laid there with Jack. She told me about her experience at some point after that. She said she felt this THING that kept sitting on the bed with her and getting up and sitting down again like it was pacing. It also seemed to be following her. She felt it was watching her to be sure she was taking care of the baby the right way. Jack was not settled at all and didn't like getting pumped milk in a bottle from grandma at his age, as you can imagine.
Whoever/whatever it was never followed us or anything when we moved away and it slowly seemed to disappear into the background again as Jack got a few months older while we were still there.
There are other stories I've read of spirits coming to labors or visiting after baby's born. So -- anyone else?
