Nightmares

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Hi Ladies,

I posted over the weekend about my D&E that was scheduled on Monday. You were very helpful in your responses and the procedure went just as you explained it would. I have felt like I have been dealing with my acceptance of the situation and grief in a healthy way. I've been leaning on my husband and friends and relishing my time with my little girl. However, I have begun to have horrible nightmares about what happened. They all run the same theme of people accusing me of abortion and being at fault at the loss of my baby. I guess I am dealing with a lot of guilt that I haven't owned up to. Has this happened to any of you? If so - how long did it go on for and was there anything you found helpful? Thanks for your help.

Jennifer

    well i have had nightmares for the past three nights. I wake up from them soaked with sweat and heart racing. Basically they are all the same....baby after baby that i have has a serious medical problem and dies....this dream could go on all night..and i wake up exhausted.  i am eager to see if someone else has this problem. i imagine that it will stop at some point. not sure when.

    Our dreams is our subconcious thoughts and feelings- so if you realize you have guilt over the events- those will manifest themselves in your dreams. The best thing you can do is realize and tell yourself that this was NOT your fault and there was NOTHING you could have done to save the baby. Really forgive yourself and release yourself from it. You may still have the dream from time to time, but as time goes by and your mind focuses on other information- it will go away.

    I hope this post was not insensitive...
