Dreaming About Your Baby

dogperson11 · July 2014

I had my first dream last night with my baby in it. I had just given birth and my friend was holding her (a friend that lives a state away and won't be up here). I remember I said she looks odd because her forehead was SO wrinkly, but she was perfect. She even had some dark hair! My husband and I were both bald babies for quite a while, so that was kind of funny. In my dream we were SO excited to tell people her name (she has one but we're not sharing it until after her birth - I'll share with you guys: Clara Mae). Glad that part stuck out as I've been tempted to tell a few close friends.

Anyone else have dreams with their babies in them?

I had a "visiting dream", which my MW tells me is quite common - you get to visit with the baby and then return her to the womb. I was holding her all covered in vernix, and then when I put her back in, I was tucking the umbilical cord well out of the way of her head/neck lol.

I dream of my baby all the time! I pull baby out of my belly and love and visit then put baby back... I also have been having dreams that baby is a boy, we are team green, so we shall see! But i was right with my son!

even when they told me he was a girl!

But i think i secretly want all boys! Not that i wont love a girl, dont get me wrong... But if God took orders...

I just keep breastfeeding different people/animals in my dream. Apparently I am a little freaked out about nursing.

I keep having dreams about giving birth and the baby comes out HUGE. Like a 12 pound baby. I'm terrifying myself. As of the 3rd of this month shes weighing in at 5 pounds something ounces according to the growth scan so I can't imagine her over 8lbs but it still doesn't stop my dreams from coming!

I had two early on. Before we found outthe sex . Both indicated she was a girl.no dreams since.

I've had a few dreams about her. For awhile, I always dreamt she died. I had a miscarriage last fall, so I think that was a lot of fear. I have a few dreams lately where she lived. She always has a full head of hair. DS had a lot of hair when he was born, and so did DH and I.

I totally had a visiting dream! I took her out and saw how beautiful she was (and saw she had enough hair I could pony it, lol) then put her back because I didn't want her newborn skin in the sun. For 4 days after that dream I really felt like I met her! Loved it!

I dreamed the whole labor and delivery and everything went really well. When they handed her to me she squealed like she was so excited to meet me. Then she reached her little arms out for my husband and I got a bit jealous! It was a really neat dream and has me very excited for the day we really do get to meet her!

Ive had a few dreams. Usually the baby is a boy in my dreams. ( ive been told its a girl)
The last dream i had, i was holding the baby but couldnt see the babies gender or even say the babies name.

My dreams have either involved breastfeeding or labor. A few nights ago I dreamed that I felt no pain and she came right out.. Too much to hope for?

gahorseygal · July 2014

@chase16‌ I have had similar dreams! Pretty much painless labor and delivery but I did feel like something was coming out of me when delivering the placenta. That was a strange detailed dream but I wouldnt mind if thats how it actually went!!

I have freaky baby-related dreams.
Last night I dreamt that H had a baby with his SILs sister (so his brothers wifes sister) And somehow I was in charge of nursing the baby.

I've had three dreams. We are team green but in every dream baby has been a boy. I'm leaning towards a boy so I don't know if it's just my subconscious or if it's really a boy!

I've been dreaming a lot about baby. Sometimes it's just that I hear a newborn crying so I wake up and go to the cradle for him (already in our room) and freak out because he's not in there! Only to remember I'm still pregnant. Other times I'm in labor and have him and the Dr tells me it's a girl. According to the a/s were having a boy so who knows what that's about.

@chase16 @sarahsimon

YES! I have had that same dream. It was so realistic and so awesome that when I woke up and realized I was still very pregnant, it was a wee bit disappointing!

In the dream some of the baby shower gifts were in it... and panic about telling work I was in labor. It was really detailed and vivid.

I've had a bunch of weird baby-related dreams. In one, I ended up with twin girls (though I'm expecting just one boy) and they were REALLY tiny. I was nursing one of them in bed (because I'm nervous about nursing and have had a ton of nursing dreams!) and the other was next to us, and then, all of a sudden she was lost in the bed. Like, literally, gone in the sheets somewhere, never to be found. Weird.
I'm a SCUBA diver and I've had a few dreams that I've gone diving and forgotten I was pregnant, only to realize it when I'm really deep (bad for baby!) or when I get stuck somewhere (because while I can get my wetsuit on, my belly is later in the way when I try to go through rocks or something).
I've had a bunch of "returning to work and having to pump" dreams already. Not very helpful since that's the part I'm super nervous about!!
Edit - why won't paragraphs work?!

I had a dream about breastfeeding a few nights ago and the other night I had a dream about putting my daughter on the school bus she was school age and had the most beautiful hair and eyes nothing about as soon as she is born yet though!!
