I have been having pregnancy nightmares-- right now they range from the extremely bizarre to things I could believe. I have nightmares about spotting. I have nigtmares about the baby having no heart.
I am worried about miscarriage and I haven't had an ultrasound yet. I know I would feel so much better if I could hear or see the heart beat. But when I called the clinic the other day (my first appointment is Monday) they said I won't get an ultrasound until 12 weeks.
I know it isn't rational, but I want a way of knowing what is going on inside me. I am planning on asking them on Monday to see if they can get the heart beat on doppler, but I know that since I am overweight they might not. If they don't hear a heartbeat, I want to ask if I can have an ultrasound earlier.
Does this sound reasonable?
Re: Dealing with nightmares
You are not alone! Last night I had multiple dreams about spotting "red blood." This was the third night in a row I had bad dreams about the baby. This morning I woke up wondering if it was a "sign." I am sure its just our subconscious mind expressing all of our obsessive worries. I also read some where that the hormone flux brings on more vivid dreaming.
Good luck on Monday.
