Miscarriage and other crazy dreams

franniep1108 · October 2015

Good morning everyone,

Before I conceived, I couldn't remember my dreams and it has been like that for years. From the moment I conceived, I have had nothing but crazy and bad dreams. Before I found our I was pregnant I had a dream that I was in a bathtub, relaxing and all of a sudden the tub was filled with roaches. I woke up to myself nearly throwing up. I have had crazy dreams about fires, monsters, getting fired but the most scary dream is the recurring dream of miscarrying. I wake up and run to the bathroom and give a sigh of relief when I realize it is just a horrible dream. My boyfriend has taken to talking to my belly and telling the baby to "stop giving mommy bad dreams because you are going to come and be the happiest baby with the happiest mommy and daddy" ( only 5 weeks so he is doing this for me not the baby, but it does make me feel better). I just really want the dreams to stop because they scare me. Is there anything I can take? Any recommendations? Anyone else go through this?

I had very vivid dreams throughout my
1st trimester, including some nightmares and a whole lot of crazy ones. I dreamed about miscarrying at least once a week. I put it down to miscarriage being on my mind alot ( i had 9 days of light bleeding in my 1st tri) theres nothing you can do about the dreams, they are generally attributed to hormones. Mine went away by the end of the 1st trimester though and i havnt deamed about miscarrying for a while. Hopefully this happens for you also!

Awesome, Thank you for putting my mind at ease. I woke up and it took until about 30 minutes ago for me to feel ok. I hate this feeling, but at least I am not alone.

Im going through the same thing. Im 9weeks and just had the weirdest dream about having a miscarriage.

There's nothing you can take to make the dreams go away. I never had miscarriage dreams, but I've dreamed of my dead father and twice of going back to my ex. Dreams are our subconscious' way of working through stuff. So if you're concerned about miscarrying, you're going to dream about it. When I have ones that are especially bothersome, I go to a dream dictionary and see if I can piece enough together to help me make sense.

BTW it sounds like you've got yourself a keeper with that boyfriend. Very sweet.

@drillsergeantcat I did and it said that I was scared of losing a part of myself. And oh my goodness, that is the truth. I'm 30, I will be 31 in a 2 weeks and I am more than ready to be a mom, but I realize that there will be a huge change. My entire idea of life is going to change drastically, the thing I thought that were important are no longer going to be as important. In June, I was supposed to be in Chicago gettng my masters degree, instead Ill have my degree mailed to me and preparing to give birth. And, thank you!! He is so amazing, he is the best and I feel really blessed to have him.

@Sammm0706 it's the scariest dream. I wake up so panicked. I hope they subside for the both of us!

You do kind of lost a part of yourself, but you gain a new part.

I hear you on the crazy dreams. I don't mind my dreams for the most part. They are crazy adventures. I like the crazy adventures to a point.
However, I have had some of the miscarriage dreams. I've dreamed of bleeding and losing the baby. I know it is from where we lost our first earlier this year.
Other than those few times, it's been more adventurous. Last night in my dreams I was riding a horse that was galloping at the speed of a motorcycle. The horse had a cd player on the back of its neck! lol Was coming off of fall break and was trying to get back to school in time.
Funnily enough, I've never ridden a horse or a motorcycle, and have not been a student at that particular school for eleven years now. My brain likes to recycle settings/scenes and add different stories. Sometimes my dreams will take place in university, high school, the mall, community college, and/or former work places. My brain recycles those settings/scenes no matter if I'm pregnant or not. Now, however, the dreams are in the recycled settings, but are adventures.

I too have had crazy dreams!! I always remembered my dreams before but now I feel like my vivid dreams aren't allowing me to really sleep. I hope they go away for you soon.

I've been watching funny movies or shows before bed and it's been helping! I have retired my love for the scary until after the baby!

ucfgemini · October 2015

I do the same thing as @franniep1108. I keep it light-hearted before I go to bed with funny shows. I still have a lot of dreams, but they are not scary. The first night I found out I was preggers I had a sex dream inside of a sex dream- yeah, exactly- it was so odd.
