Sleep paralysis

I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time last night. It was absolutely terrifying. I couldn't wake up no matter how hard i tried and when I was about to wake up I would be dragged right back into the horrible dream I was having Is anyone else experiencing sleep paralysis for the first time while pregnant.

I just experienced this recently and apparently i stopped breathing long enough for my child started to become very active. I’m assuming because oxygen wasn’t getting to her. It felt like I was awake in this horrible dream and when I realized I couldn’t breathe, I remembered reaching for my husband to alert him.. it was my baby jabs and kicks that got me out. When I finally woke up, my heart rate was up. Very terrifying
