Hi, I just wanted to ask.... I am 6 wks + 5, and I had a horrible dream last night..... I dreamt I went to the toilet and misscarried, and I could actually see the little foetus. I woke up quite upset. I have read you can get vivid dreams whilst pregnant due to hormones etc. Anyone else experienced this? It was horrible. I’m going to just try and forget about it as I don’t want to get hung up on it.
Horrible Dream: Hi, I just wanted to... - Pregnancy and Par...
Horrible Dream
I've been having really vivid dreams since the start of my pregnancy, some very upsetting. Dreaming is the minds way of dealing with things we don't in everyday life, so I think your dream is a natural fear of all pregnant women. I've previously had 2 miscarriages and I have had nightmares about is since becoming pregnant, along with nightmares about losing my partner and the house been on fire I have vivid dreams almost every night and a friend advised me I should start writing them down when I wake up; but I haven't done yet.
I think the fears and worries that we suppress successfully during the day are uncontrolled during the night. It doesn't mean what you dream will happen, it is just worries that your happiness can shatter.
It is all normal.
Thank you so much for your reply, I have been reading about dreams, and your right, we can’t control our emotions when we are asleep. I think I need to stop reading things on the internet! Everyone’s stories etc, as my mind is on over drive at the moment. I am 7 weeks and just want everything to be ok, which I’m sure it will be. I just need to stop worrying and reading everything! X
You are very welcome. X
I’m 19 wks and had one the other night. It’s comletely normal apparently. Don’t worry. Also you might have some really extreme horrible dreams about being harmed and stuff but it’s apparentlt all normal because of all the change that’s happening in your body xxx
