In utero memory

When I was pregnant with my first I had the worst night terrors. One night I was having a night terror where aliens were hovering over the house and had taken me to the dining room where they laid me on the table and tried to remove the baby from my uterus. I never got back to sleep that night.

Never thought of it again until a few years later, my son was now 4. We are driving home from somewhere when he pipes up from the back seat,

“Hey Mom – do you remember the night the aliens tried to take me from your belly and you said no?”

The goose bumps were instant and the husband and I just looked at each other out of the corner of our eyes……….still freaks me out!
