What kind of baby dreams do you have? Is this normal?

HailsLyrics · January 2010

Last night I dreamt that I had the baby and couldn't see him/her for 3 hours after labour. Then, my dream switched to me being at home holding baby and for some reason the baby's head looked like it turned backwards (like, 90 degrees! Creepy...) but really I had looked away for a second and the baby turned/rolled over somehow in my arms. Then I had trouble swaddling him/her. Then, for some reason since it was the first time I had the chance to hold baby, I tried laying him/her on my chest like they're supposed to do at the hospital and the baby was about to try and find my breast. It ended there and although I felt a bond and tonnes of love I also felt like I wished I felt more connected and was mad that I didn't have the baby in my arms at the hospital right after delivery. Is this a normal dream or what the heck? Do you of you have strange dreams?

I haven't had any yet, but I've read that crazy dreams like that are completely normal.

I hope this is normal! I had a dream the other night that DH had somehow jumped into another like parallel universe (wtf? I dont even believe in that crap!) and he called me on my cell phone to tell me that he was stuck there and couldn't get back and I would never see him again. I remember hearing a baby crying and Dora the Explorer in the background so I assumed in this "parallel universe" he was married and had multiple kids with someone else. In the dream it made me really really sad/mad! That was definitely the craziest one so far.

I dreamt that Simon came out like the size of a two year old. And he was able to tell me he really liked his bedding.

I've had some really strange dreams. I had one last night where the baby was mobile... like I would walk into the nursery and he'd be on the floor walking around, but he was only days old, and he had a set of razor sharp teeth, WTH?! Freaked me out... I think I've been watching to many 'Legion' previews or something.

I can't say if its normal, but I have weird dreams too. I'm making an adoption plan so in my dream I have my baby and the family comes to see him and I have can't find the baby anywhere! Then I find him walking around (as if he's around 2) and I keep trying to get him, but he runs too fast. The whole time I'm yelling at the family not to leave because I'm gonna get him sooner or later haha.

I had strange dreams before I got pregnant and these are even worse.

We are team green and I have had two nights where I wake up angry and can't sleep again because I dreampt the doctor had told us what we were having. I was so mad at the dr. I had to wake DH and make sure we weren't told.

I had another where my baby was born and I still didn't know the gender but I looked in a pan of brownies and it was written on the bottom of the pan.

Last night I had a dream that I was trying to shot my BIL- that was kind of disturbing and today when I saw his wife I felt so bad.

Actually writing these out have made me think I am some kind of nutcase. So I really hope I am not alone.

I keep having dreams that I give birth and the doctors/nurses at the hospital take the baby away and won't let me see him. I freak out, go on an clandestine mission to get my baby back and right before I do I wake up. One night after a particularly upsetting dream to that effect I noticed that SO wasn't in bed. The first thing to pop out of my mouth was "That bastard stole my baby!" which, of course, was slightly confusing to my SO who was up playing computer games. I was still sleepy and thought he was the one who took LO away at the hospital (in my dream). Strange. I've always had vivid dreams though.

Def not alone, lol.

My dreams either involve me not being pregnant anymore and realizing that I've forgotten to feed or change the baby in three days... or leaving him at the hospital.

The really weird ones are when I'm in the delivery room and my baby is actually a big fluffy white kitty.

I had dreams that we got to see a "preview" of DS...we were at some sort of party, and someone just reached into my uterus...no blood or anything like that...and pulled out DS...He was fully dressed in little jeans and a cute onesie...We carried him around and let everyone see him, and when the party was over, we put him back in and left.

Weird dreams are totally normal. A few weeks ago I dreamed my brother was pregnant. Yeah, SUPER weird. lol

mbgreenwalt · January 2010

I've had quite a few weird ones. Most recent ones are finding out the baby is a boy and not a girl. Everyone in the dream knew, but me.

I had one where she was born a lamp and when people asked how I would carry her around I showed them that her head came off and attached to a flashlight handle.

I had a few where I would forget about the baby and leave it for days on the bed or lose her in random places.

Dreams are weird to me, because before I got pregnant I never remembered them.
