dreams of abandonment
I've been having a different dream every night about my DH leaving me while pregnant. Sometimes its for a non-pregnant woman but usually him just walking away. I wake up and remember everything and after telling him, he says I'm crazy. I know its just another pregnancy symptom but its keeping me up all night.
Anyone else having dreams related to this?

Re: dreams of abandonment
I have had lots of dreams like this - but usually DH would die in them. I've woken up crying because of it. They've eased up recently I think because I talked about it a lot with DH and he just kept saying he's not going anywhere. It also helped that he was nesting and wanting to get things ready for the baby without me prodding. Or maybe it's that I'm so preoccupied with everything else that I'm focusing on those things and not sleeping too well anyway.
I think it's normal to feel scared about the possibility of being left pregnant or left with a baby. The financial obligations and the huge job of parenting are pretty scary and for me it's really new to think of being connected to DH in this new way (not just wanting to be with him, but needing to in a sense). Maybe if you just think about that part and talk about it with your husband the dreams will go away.
