Hi Tracy,
I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. My son Benjamin, born at 36 weeks, also had some night terrors, but not to the degree you are experiencing. I can remember him looking like he was awake one night, holding his little hands curled in front of his face screaming "No! No!" and calling for me. I could not wake him up, it was very frightening, but then he woke up and turned to me and asked for some juice. I did speak to the pediatrician, who told me never ask him if he remembered anything from his night terrors because they happen in a different part of the psyche (?sp) and the child never remembers them. Have a talk with your pediatrician, if you haven't already done so. Benjamin grew out of his by the time he was 3 1/2. They seemed to happen more often when he didn't feel good. Good Luck.

Hello All,
Does anyone have experience with night terrors? I was told at a
recent NICU reunion that preemies are especially susceptible to
suffering from these bouts of terror. My g/g twins were born at 32
weeks on 2/1/05 and Charlotte has been plagued by them ever since
(Grace had been okay). As I understand it, her eyes are open and she
appears awake but she is caught in a nightmare. Screaming to the
point of hyperventilation and causing her to vomit. It is so terrible
to watch and all you can do is comfort her. I was in tears right
along with her last night. My husband had to comfort both of us.
Does anyone have any advice? Thank you. Sleepless and desperate...
