false alarm?
wow last night myheart stopped. My angel care monitor went off. It was that tick before the alarm rings. I jumped out of bed and picked him up. Iwas so nervous Iwoke him up!
He was at the edge of the crib by the bars on his side. I was wondering if he stopped breathing or was it just a false alarm. Has it happened to anyone before?
I am so nervous about him all the time..he is so precious to me! Now I know what my mother felt when she used to worry about us!

Re: false alarm?
I don't have that monitor but that happened to DH's cousin. She said her daughter went on to the side of the crib and so the monitor couldn't detect anything. The same thing probably happened to you.
Glad everything is ok.

Re: false alarm?
It happened to us several times - it even went past that tick and started beeping. Only once it was beeping and didn't stop until we picked him up.
It is scary but the way I see it, I'd rather have the alarm go off and find out he is okay than not have it go off. It doesn't happen that often, but if the baby is too far off the pad sometimes the alarm will sound.

Re: false alarm?
The other night mine started going off...I jumped up like a psycho...however the beeping woke him up, so he started crying, and I heard him...so I knew he was ok...
He wiggled too far down on the bed...I guess 
Its sooo scary....I hate even thinking about having a real false alarm... I really think Id have a heart attack! I got lucky that he made noises that made me aware he was fine before my heart stop beating
Its hard, it really is... its a life of love joy happiness and WORRY!

Re: false alarm?
I have a friend who lost her first son to SIDS and she is currently pregnant now. She went to pick him up from Daycare and cops were their when she arrived. I spent the whole night looking at the SIDS tribute site and her dedication to her son and all the other babies. It's terrible to read these stories and I balled my eyes out. I can't even imagine. Dh picks on me because I have our video moniter set so high I listen to Jack breathing every night.
I never got an Angel Care because I didn't see how exactly it helped and dh's cousin was a micro preemie and they had one and their son was a sleeping champ but they told me they never got any sleep because their were so many false alarms.
I'm sorry you got woken up to the alarm but happy it was just false alarms.

Re: false alarm?
My daughter kept rolling off the pad to the point where we disconnected that part and just used the monitor because it was going off too often.

Re: false alarm?
You can actually adjust the sensitivity of the alarm. I was gonna do the same thing but then I realized that Sidney had a favorite spot in the crib so I slightly moved the pad under the mattress in that direction. If that didn't work I was gonna make the monitor more sensitive so it would detect her movements better. Check out the directions....it explains it better than I am.

that is so sad...I worry all the time
did they ever find out why he died? Did he suffocate or just stop breathing?
Last night it didn't go off but I spent most of the night staring at him.
He keeps trying to turn on his belly at night, ahould i just leave him or turn him on his back? I dont think he will know what to do when he ends up onhis belly!
