Hi everyone
Before I got pregnant, I never dreamt. Well I probably did but I never ever remembered them. Since getting pregnant I have vivid dreams every single night and can recite them to DH in the morning. They are always baby related and can be really bizarre. Last night, I was in the hospital supposed to be in labour but I wasn't having any contractions and I only looked about 5 months pregnant. I was trying to tell the staff that I wasn't actually in labour but they wouldn't listen and gave me an epidural anyway. I asked what the date was and it was 2 weeks before my due date and I was trying to tell them. And then a friend of mine who is living in Australia at the moment was in the same room as me and was actually in labour and I was jealous of her pjs. strange huh. Does anyone else experience this? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I have had very strange dreams since being preg - apparently it is common for you to dream more or remember more, what ever the case may be, because you mind is workin overtime with all the chnages going on...
I had some wicked nightmares too, but thank goodness they have stopped now! ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

I have definatly been having much more vivid dreams since being pregnant. Only a few that I remembered have been pregnancy/ baby related, but they are all totally muddled and weird as!!

I had some VERY vivid dreams when I was pregnant, and a couple of nightmares too. All related to hormones again I think, and "normal" apparently. I struggled to remember most of what I dreamed though, because my dreams would jump all over the place. I'm still having some odd ones now too, I guess since my subconscious has a whole lot of new feelings and things to process now ! ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Yeah I'm having really vivid dreams - most of them are pretty entertaining and kinda like watching myself on TV - I'm in them, but also watching myself in them and care about what happens but somehow know it doesn't really matter because I'll wake up soon. Strange, eh! A few vivid and disturbing nightmares in the earlier days - now they weren't entertaining at all! ------------- Andie |

I've heard an interesting theory about why we remember the pregnancy dreams - its because we've usually just woken up either in the middle of the dream or right after so the sequence is still fresh in our minds. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

LOL Andie and Katie!
Vivid dreams, yep they're all normal from what I've heard! I've had very weird dreams and yep, can recite up to 4 of them in the morning 
But, they are fading off about now so hopefully not much longer for you Leish! They always make me feel like "did I actually SLEEP last night?"  -------------  |

I got the worst nightmares from the beginning of the pregnancy until around the 25 week mark and sometimes I was scared to sleep. Then I had weird weird dreams and now I still do. Like this baby comes out looking like my ex boyfriend from about 3 years back.  Oooh boy! I haven't dreampt I've been in labour YET- but when I do, I think I'll sh*t myself. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I had a dream last night about my friends twins who are 7 weeks old at the moment and I dreamt that they were really tall and were running around and I was thinking how is that possible at 7 weeks? In the same dream I had had my baby but he wasn't in the picture and I went and did a pregnancy test and it was positive and this was 3 months after having my baby - I hope this is not going to come true!!! ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |
