Nightmares

Anyone else experience nightmares while pregnant? Not nightmares about pregnancy or babies or anything, just nightmares in general. I've been having them a lot more lately! I'm thinking it's a hormonal thing.

totally....mine came hand in hand with UGH hartburn .....

I had crazy nightmares and vivid dreams when i was pregnant.

I don't have nightmares. I have dreams I kill my aunt.

I had HORRIBLE nightmares while I was pregnant! They used to make me twitch in my sleep and everything!

I have either horrible nightmares or ridiculous sex dreams that aren't usually with someone I'd want them to be about... either way it really makes it hard to sleep...

Yes! My dreams are crazy, and yeah, nothing to do with the pregnancy. Just wierd, Im so busy at night with all these crazy wild dreams and all the people I see it them that I wake up feeling like I need to go back to sleep to relax from all the drama I just experienced!!
The boyfriend had a dream the other night that he had to eat limbs to stay alive!! I was like, "I can't believe you're having them now too!". I was at my moms and she has this dream book so I looked up limbs, the definition was confusion about gender (we are both counting down the days...9 to go....till we find out the sex of our little bun in the oven) and worring about his changing identity ....and this is our first baby (changing to a dad). It made so much sense!
I read somewhere while your pregnant to keep a book and pen beside the bed, write down your dreams as soon as you awake and look them up later....after reading about his Im doing it for sure.

See my pregnancy book has this whole section about people that have pregnancy related nightmares, but I don't really have those, they're always about something else...

Yeah, my nightmares don't usually have anything to do with pregnancy. But several times a week I wake up and need to snuggle against my husband because I'm so freaked out!

Be happy there's a man next to you... I live alone with no SO and there are nightmares I have that I literally have to get up and watch TV with the lights on until I fall asleep in order to calm myself down. I haven't had nightmares like this since I was really young and I feel kinda childish, but they're so vivid!!

You say the dream book you have has an entire section about pregnancy related nightmares, could you share a bit for those of us who ARE dealing with pregnancy related nightmares? Thanks so much!
