Nightmares :(

[Dana_Scully]

I had a MMC back in November. I kept having these nightmares that I was losing the baby. Then it actually happened, and I kept having nightmares about it.

Now I'm pregnant again, 5 weeks, I'm trying not to think about it too much. I take my prenatals, eat properly, but I'm scared to let myself be happy. The nightmares had stopped for a while, but started again yesturday. I dreamt that I woke up and that I was bleeding and losing the baby. When I woke up, I was scared the whole day, kept going to the bathrom to check if all was alright. It's so hard right now, because we've only told my parents. I haven't even told my boss, though she's very sharp so I suspect she'll notice if I get morning sickness. I want to shout "I'm pregnant!" and I also want to keep it to myself.

It's weird, I know I'm pregnant, but I also think that it would be awesome if I got a baby out of it LOL It feels like being pregnant doesn't mean you'll have a baby in the end. I think I'm going nuts, so scared of losing another one.

Are you guys having recurring nightmares too?

Try to relax. Dreams can cause so much anxiety and feel so real. You need to know its your subconscious thinking about the loss. It's doesn't mean it will happen again. Just try and stay positive!

Dreams are part of prgnancy. the hormone elevation causes you to dream even more intense and such...I have had many dreams of this baby having all the same outcome as her brother did and I have dreams of horrible things to do with this pregnancy...its normal for many pregnant women but for us its hard to handle because many of our "pregnancy dreams" we have LIVED through. Im sorry you have to go through this. Hang in there!!

I know exactly how you feel. Every little thing makes me scared or worried this time around. Especially my dreams, but we just have to keep telling ourselves that worrying will not help us or the little babe.

I had a nightmare just last night about losing this baby, I am terrified-- but trying to remain calm as that is not a symptom of miscarriage and I am having no other signs. I think you will be fine and as Stepmomtobio said, it is just your subconscious and mamabearjen is right-- our hormones are elevated massively right now!

I have had some disturbing nightmares too, but last time when I had a MMC the crazy vivid dreams had stopped...so now I think that if the dreams are vivid and crazy the hormones are still there, and therefore nightmares are a GOOD thing
It helps me to think that way anyway

for the past 2 nights ive been dreaming/having nightmares. Ive had one where i was having twins and another about giving birth to a little boy at 20 weeks. I was really upset when i woke up but i think its because im so worried that i'll lose the baby im pregnant with now. Im trying my hardest to relax but its hard. xx

I had a horrible dream that I was being induced at 5 months against my will the other night! Mind you last night I had a very weird dream that I was drunk at a party, and took it upon myself to go into the hosts kitchen and clean out their cat litter tray!!

I've had a few dreams about stuff happening to this baby, but at my midwife appointment today I got to hear a perfect heartbeat, so obviously those dreams were not real. I do agree it's still hard to fully relax though.
