Last night my son and I went to go see a local play. Afterwards, I ran into a good friend of mine who I only get to see once in a great while--she was 8 months pregnant!Anyway, I saw her about a year ago, and I could've sworn she told me that she was pregnant THEN! But I didn't say anything about it. As we talked, I realized that we had no such conversation! But I could have sworn I remembered talking to her on FB about it and a few months ago, I could've sworn that she announced on FB that she had a baby girl. But the last time she was even pregnant was with her 11 year old daughter!
This is not the first time anything like this has happened to me-but now I'm getting really scared!
What could this be a symptom of???!!!?? I know that only a professional can diagnose me, but is there something that causes this? I am going to see my psych. about it but I would like to have some ideas.

Just throwing it out there, and it certainly isnt a bad thing at all, but many highly sensitive people can experience precog. There really is no explanation. Imho, everyone has that gift, but just arent paying attention, or just are not in tune. Try not to be frightened, Sweetie. It sounds as if you had some sort of a premonition with someone you are in tune with

Personally, I dont talk about it with people in my everyday life and keep it to myself. Many people are uneasy about it.

Definitely speak with your T about it. Especislly if it is upsetting and scaring you.

It happened to be often when I was little and I would tell my dad (we were really close. He would never invalidate me or say anything to make me feel bad about it, but I could sense he was a little uncomfortable).

It used to happen to me all the time with bf's, and I just learned it was part of who I am...it is a sort of gift. And if you arent comfortable with it, there are ways to work with it so you are not so in tune. It is similar to turning off the radio. You just need the right guidance.

You are going to be ok. I promise.

I used to have deja vu's all the time, where you think you've experienced the exact same situation before. I think they stopped as a result of my taking Topamax, because other little epileptic things I had going on also stopped. And I would classify a deja vu as a weird brain misfiring equals a mild epileptic thing. And from what I can tell, they don't really do anything about mild epilepsy that is not able to be duplicated at will in a Dr's office. It doesn't really interfere with your life, it just happens once in a while.

I wouldn't worry about it. Most likely, you knew or talked to someone who was pregnant, the soon-to-be-father, or someone else related to a pregnant lady. Perhaps a year ago she mentioned she would want a child or was working on having one but none came until you saw her recently. It's normal for people's memories of similar events to get a bit fused together and produce something that's incorrect. The reason is as great as our brains are, there's a limit as to how much content it can hold. If it were to hold every single detail of your life (i.e. including stuff you weren't consciously aware of at the time), your brain would overload. Instead, it filters content, scraps memories and fuses them together. There's a variety of cognitive theories that explain this in slightly different ways, chances are you're seeing one (or more) of them in action.
