There’s many things that pregnancy brings, cravings, weight gain, smiles…but one thing it’s bringing me is horrible dreams. In the past week I’ve had at least two terrible miscarriage dreams, ones where I’ve actually gotten out of bed and went and checked for blood. I’ve had dreams of my other children dying, graphic horrid dreams. I’ve had dreams of people threatening to take my son away, of having to defend him with my life. I’ve had dreams of me literally killing people, all of these have me wake up crying pretty much uncontrollably. So what do these dreams mean?
With increased progesterone in the pregnant woman’s body, there is also an increase of vivid dreams. Increase in dreams that are not only vivid, but possibly violent are absolutely normal when you’re pregnant.
I’ve read numerous sites that say I should be dreaming of puppies and kittens and fuzzy blankets. Ya, no. I don’t subscribe to that theory. It’s just hormones working themselves out.
I just wish they’d work out in a less disturbing way. Here’s to another night of an emotional roller coaster I can’t stop.
