Vivid nightmares at 13 weeks pregnant is this normal?
Answers:
I am 26 weeks pregnant and I too still get awful nightmares that seem completely real.I wake up sweating and my heart is pounding.It is usually about stuff I watch or read or hear on the news.I had a terrible one the other night and I had to go get my hubby from the living room to come to bed with me because I was so too scared to fall back alseep.This too is my 2nd baby and I did get some nightmares with my 1st pregnancy-but not nearly as many.
It is normal, remember no two pregnancies are the same. Maybe your hormones are affecting you differently this time around. When I had my second baby I remember being more anxious about everything as I knew a lot more from the first time. Hopefully they will settle down soon.
A lot of women experience weird dreams when they are prego.
my Dreams during pregnancy are SO real it's insane.
I can't explain it ..Lucky for me,I have not had any BAD dreams as of yet ..Just normal Standard dreams.But they are SO VIVID,That I normaly CAN NOT remember my dreams but wake up remembering little details of dreams now.
Try and relax yourself. This is a phase that should pass but if you have concerns please talk to your doctor. No two pregnancies are the same even in the same woman. They are as individual as the tiny individual.
i always seem to have strange dreams when i am pregnant. some are funny some are scary some are just plain weird. its all normal. its just horomones. so don't worry about it. i know because i asked my doctor when i was pregnant with my first one. he told me it was just the horomoes good luck and congrats on the baby
Very normal, don't dwell on the and don't worry about them.
Its all down to those lovely lovely hormones!
I had really freaky dreams all through my pregnancy, some scary and some very disturbing.
When you wake up just take a few seconds to reassure yourself its only a dream, it can't bother you in reality and get back to sleep.
Its worrying but normal and will wear off!
It is very normal to have vivid dreams with pregnancy. They don't know why they are so real and don't make sense, but it is still normal so don't worry. I blame it on hormones like everything else! I have weird ones too, and I think its fun to tell my husband about the ones I can remember! Its cool to see his reaction to how crazy they get! If they really scare you, then talk to your doctor about them and see what he says. If it is a recurring one then I would try to figure out the significance. You are obviously stressing about something specific if it is the same dream every time. Try to figure out what you are so concerned about with this pregnancy, like birth defects or handling 2 kids. That may be what is coming out in your dreams.
I can't remember if this happened with my first pregnancy either, but with my second pregnancy I remember having very vivid and weird (and yes sometimes scary) dreams. I've heard from other friends too that they had weird dreams during their pregnancy. I've read that it has a lot to do with the progesterone going through your veins and all the excitement and anticipation of becoming a mother (again). I don't know what you can do to stop having them. I suggest that when you do have them and can't go back to sleep that you just try to relax. Try taking a warm bath or reading a good book, and before you know it you will have forgotten all about the dreams that are keeping you up.
it can be perfectly normal to experience vivid dreams during the mid-term of your pregnancy. your hormone levels fluctuate as your baby develops, and lots of new mums have extra anxeity, mostly so they when their babies are born they can be protective of them. it doesnt happen to everyone, but if you are a new mum, it could be psychsamatic. so do not worry. ease yourself into the evening. if all else fails, try relaxation techniques like closing your eyes and thinking of something calming, like a summers day outside etc. dont forget, if this isnt your first pregnancy, it can still be different from the first as our bodies do change, so it really is just likely to be raised hormone levels.
I think its perfectly normal, dont worry! Your mind is chocker block whilst you are pregnant, what sex is the baby, what will it look like, will I take to it, what will the birth be like, what will I call him/her, you worry the babies ok etc, all these are flying around your mind whilst you are asleep! I had terrible dreams whilst pregnant, I kept dreaming my teeth had fallen out and it felt so real I would have to get up and check they were still there, I also kept dreaming about somebody stealing my baby and I drempt about having a scan and there was no baby! All horrible dreams! I think a lot of it is also down to hormonal changes in the body! Just try and relax more before you actually go to sleep! But remember, like you said they are only dreams hun, they are not real! I am sure you will be fine and will have a gorgeous babba in no time, thats when the nightmare starts. Nights with no sleep, oh no!! lol!! Its all worth it though! All the luck in the world and sweet dreams from now on hun xxx
yes this is normal, i had quite alot in my 3rd pregnancy. it is very upsetting and you wake up emotional but they will pass. try to shake them off and dont let them spoil your day ahead remember there only dreams.
I had terrible, wierd dreams when preggers, the further into my pregnancy it was usuall y about the baby getting stolen etc etc but at the beginning could be about anything at all. Maybe it is a hormonal thing or maybe it is your mind worrying in your sleep about things, but it only really happened to me twice when pregnant.
Weird dreams are very normal in pregnancy.
yes its normal a stressful time and a lot of changes afoot so your sub concious brains working overtime very very normal xx
i apologise for my answer in advance but i am so glad you have asked this question when i was pregnant i had the most awful nightmares and they were so vivid that i too woke up in a blind panic, now at last after many years of pondering over them and thinking i was weird i know it must be normal so relax you are not the only one, good luck with your pregnancy And STOP worrying I know i will.
This same thing happened to me. I had awful nightmares in the first couple of months of my pregnancy. I have a very vivid imagination anyway when it comes to dreams and i dont need to read or watch tv. Mostly my dreams during my pregnancy was of me hurting people. I have no idea why, i was pretty brutal in them. Some part of anger coming through. They will ease soon and your sleep will get back to normal. Well until your so big its impossible to sleep. Happy pregnancy!
Estrogen would be the culprit there. Totally normal!
