Nightmare

[MightyMom]

The pregnancy hormones are wreaking havoc on my dreams! Last night I dreamt that the baby was stillborn at about 24 weeks. I was terrified! I woke up convinced I wasn't pregnant anymore and bawling my eyes out. It took me a while to reassure myself that it was just a dream.

Anyone else having a lot of anxiety with their PAL?

I had terrible anxiety the entire pregnancy, so I think it is pretty normal, actually. How far along are you? Perhaps you could think in terms of days and/or next appointments rather than the whole pregnancy itself, e.g. 12wk scan, 16wk scan, feeling baby around 20 wks, viability at 24wks, etc.? That helped me to take it 'one week at a time' and as you can see below, I did have a few problems towards the end (me, tho NOT baby) and as I sit here typing, baby is feet away after an evening feed and both my OH and I are still shocked and baby is 2 wks old!

take it easy on yourself!

best wishes

Its normal.

I had 2 losses but have also had 2 healthy pregnancies. I was anxious the entire pregnancy and had lots of nightmares too. I think everyone who has a loss and then are PAL have a lot of anxiety to deal with.

I know its hard but try to focus on the fact that you are pregnant and your baby is doing well inside you.
