That is one possible explanation. It seems like many women do have their psychic radar go into high gear when they are pregnant, they are more sensitive to "the vibrations" around them--or however you want to language that--than at other times. A more pragmatic approach in a case like this is to assume your brain is trying to work something out, and keeps getting stuck, like a computer stuck in an endless logic loop, doing the same computation over and over. A lot of times, that's why we have the same recurring dream. It's something unresolved, our brain is just looking for a solution that makes sense to it, and then it can rest. And we're talking about the subconscious here--what makes sense to it as a solution may not be anything that makes sense to the conscious, waking, rational self. And that's OK. It's OK to be irrational when dealing with dreams. They have their own peculiar logic.
Do you keep having the same dream about your ex? Is it like a movie that plays over and over? If so, maybe all your brain needs is for you to give the dream story a different ending. As you are going to bed, imagine yourself having the dream. But imagine it turning out differently than it has been in the past. For example, you could imagine yourself giving your ex a ball of white light and saying, "Here you go, [insert his name]. Here is a bundle of blessings so you will have a good life. I'm letting you go now. Bye." Then imagine what it would be like to dream he is walking away. If you do this several nights running, and imagine it as vividly as you can, you might stop having these dreams, or you might have a dream about him that is very different than the dreams you have had before. Perhaps in the different dream he will even die or something. Don't freak out if this happens. What is dying is the version of him you carry in your head, your connection to him. It won't hurt him in his own waking world life (unless (1) you really intend to hurt him and (2) you are one bad psychic who can dream true like that).
You can do the same kind of visualization as you wake up after such a dream. While still half asleep, just let your mind drift in your memory of the dream, but feel free to turn it around in your mind and imagine things happening differently. That may be all you need to help your brain get out of the rut.
One way or another, there's a good chance it will end after your child is born (if for no other reason than your child keeping you up all night). So I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Blessings for you and your baby in your new life,
