    Dreams Whilst Pregnant
    Does anyone else keep haing dreams when there pregnant? Because I have one every night. Last night I had two. 1 was that I was about to be murdered and the second one was after I had the baby and I knew exactly how she looked because we ended up having a little girl and I was trying to breast feed her but only 1 of my breast was producing milk fr her.

    Is it me or an=m I just mad :)

    No it is not you. It is your hormones. Dreams/nightmares are common during pregnancy, and just like every other pregnancy symptom, this too shall pass.

    Totally normal to have frequent dreams while pregnant. And it seems that they are ALWAYS strange dreams. My husband even has funny dreams. Hah. One night he dreamed I gave birth to our son, and then he picked him up and put him down, held his hand, and took him on a walk with him down the hall. Hahaha. Picture that, a new born walking down the hall immediately after birth. Pretty funny. There are lots of reasons for the dreams. Mainly those raging hormones. Dreams are often brought about by your internal feelings. I often have dreams on other women hitting on my husband right in front of me, or my hubby flirting with them, and I know its because I have a bad self image of myself right now. I often wonder if he still finds me attractive, etc. I know that in the end, it is silly for me to have these dreams, but when those hormones are raging, and you (inevitably) have doubts about your appearance, you have crazy moments like that, and often your worries come out in your dreams. They are nothing to worry about. Just try to laugh about them when you wake up, and know you aren't alone ;0)

    Oh goodness yes, I used to have horrible dreams (and still do at times) about my unborn child dying, and then sometimes I would have dreams of him after he was born being viciously mauled, or that he rejected me at birth... My doctor always told me that your hormones are the cause and the dreams feed off the insecurities every mother faces. I also suffered from the dreams where my husband left me, or starting an affair. It is normal.

    I agree with the rest of the posters. It is your hormones and your nerves going to town on your dream state.

    I used to have a horrible recurring dream that thankfully went away after my son was born. It is the only dream I have ever had that felt like it happened in real life. All my other dreams I soon forget.

    Happy Gestation!
