horrendous nightmares :'(

[pink_phoenix]

Is anyone else suffering with awful but real feeling nightmares?

I've always had them quite bad but since about 6 weeks they have been awful.

I have maybe one or two a night so struggling to sleep most of the time.

They started off small like me and OH fighting or splitting up and gradually got worse.
Last night's I think will haunt me forever.
Was sat in a waiting room for a scan and make friends with a few women in the waiting room and we were all trying to guess baby's gender,
I got called back into the room and was told it was nout serious. Then got in the room and woman said she had lied it was bad news the woman who gave me my scan didn't know what she was doing and should have told me there was no longer a baby not that everything was fine!!
Was a lot of arguing and them trying to brush it off as one of those things that happens but I was distraught.
Woke up actually sobbing which got worse and I woke my OH up too.
For a few seconds I thought it was all real and almost ran down stairs to use my dopler!!

I don't know how many more of these dreams my little head can take.

I just want to curl up in the corner and not wake up till june!!

Sorry for the rant on such an unpleasant subject, OH doesn't seem to understand and I needed to get it all out

Thank you hun. It was a horrendous feeling waking up.
I do suffer with bad dreams and being paralysed for a while when I've woke up but had trailed off for a while but seems to be coming back to bite me in the arse x

I know exactly what it's like! In my first pregnancy I had what the doctor described as adult night terrors, my doctor said it was pretty common in pregnancy because of the change in hormones but that doesn't make it any easier! I would dream the most horrendous and disturbing things and it seemed so do real it was very upsetting tbh the only bit of advice I can give you is that mine got a whole lot worse when I was worrying about something or had something playing on my mind so I would say try your best to avoid stressful situations! Also I found it sometimes helped to wind down about an hour before bed with a relaxing bubble bath or something you relaxing you enjoy. Hope they ease off for you soon

Thanks Sarah, I may just try the bubble bath or warm shower before bed time see of it helps xx

I don't have terrible dreams like that, but I do have weird ones. The other night I dreamed I gave birth but I didn't remember the hospital and it took me a while to realize the baby was mine. And then I realized it had been like 4 days and I hadn't been breastfeeding and I wasn't sure if she had been eating at all. And I asked my mom if it was too late to start breastfeeding and she said it was, and I was devastated because the hospital was supposed to teach me how and everything was ruined. It sounds silly I guess but it was heartbreaking at the time.

Aww that's awful!! Defo not nice waking up from any sort of bad dream or weird dream.
I suffered really awful nightmares every night when my dog was put to sleep and I think stress and worry may be a trigger. I've got a midwife apointment tomorrow and there's a lot to go thru with the trouble with the hospital and stuff, I think that may be part of it xx

I have them I hate it!! I've work up crying twice and my fiance has to hold me! I've had one invovling a baby and two involving my fiance. One he died while I was pregnant I was sobbing to him and couldn't go back to sleep because I didn't want it to continue. I had the baby nightmare at 6 weeks then 11 weeks they started again. I've done good the last few nights hoping it stays!

I was like that the other night. Had a bad dream woke up wanting to be sick and crying my eyes out. I eked up down stairs watching rubbish on TV from about 4-7 am. Fighting to stay awake as I just couldn't face another nightmare. I was due a MW appointment and since the dreams do seem to have stopped ( for now) but I think it's the worry about the appointments that's doing it sometimes, or it certainly doesn't help x
Hope everyone's dreams get better, it's such an awful experience x

i have bad dreams often and i dont even eat sugars or pizza at nighttime! i do tend to eat about an hour or two before bedtime but its normally baked chicken or baked fish. my dreams have fluctuated between my relationship with my boyfriend (i dream we are mad or separated in the dream if i go to bed angry with him) but alot of the time i dream really weird dreams about baby's healthy and my big baby bump and that i end up eating delicious foods and i wake up craving those foods and so i go get them in reality and eat them. one time i went to bed mad at my boyfriend and dreamed that he grabbed my yummy milkshake and poured it out laughing. i cried so hard in my dream and woke up angry with him. he laughed in reality, too about it. he's really a romantic, sweet guy though!

on the other hand ive dreamt one time that i had an ultrasound come back and it showed two babies and one had a beating heart and the other did not. i woke up crying so much because i was scared for my baby that surely did have a beating heart. in all actuality, i think i dreamed that because everyone kept telling me "you're probably havingtwins" and i thought too much about it but the dream may have clarified i just have one baby in there by showing two babies and one heartbeat.
