Nightmares!

anyone else having nightmares about their pregnancy? I dream all kinds of crazy things like I'm going to have her too early or that something goes terribly wrong! Is this normal? It worries me!

Happened a lot during my first pregnancy and it's very normal. I have had some weird dreams this time around but not baby related. Usually dreams while pregnant are more intense/graphic/colorful/crazy/real feeling.

Totally normal. I had horrible dreams after my oldest was born too- like forgetting/losing her and much worse. I thought I was a terrible mom for having dreams like that and didn't tell a soul. Several years later some friends were discussing dreams they had had when they had newborns. Apparently I wasn't alone! I think it's just our brains way of dealing with the stress/anxiety involved with being pregnant or having a new baby.

I haven't had "baby" dreams- but I keep having dreams where I'm trying to protect something (my husband, nephew, dog, etc.) and I can't. I assume it's the protection mode- but they're awful!!!

My dreams have been super vivid, to the point where I've woken up exhausted. I did also dream that I put her down somewhere and forgot where.
