Baby nightmares, normal or no? (kinda freaky.. warning)
in GP Moms
Ok so I'm going to admit I haven't been sleeping well, and I'm not feeling well (have a little bit of a cold) and I just feel blah. That being said, last night I had the worst nightmare about my baby. In my nightmare she was just brought home, and I was soooo tired. I fell asleep for a minute (in my dream) and when I woke up, I couldn't get her to wake up. Then I realized that someone had switched her with a baby doll. I started freaking out. She looked so real, but was hard plastic. I picked her up and was looking at her trying to figure out what happened. Then all of a sudden she turned back into a real baby. It scared me so much that I almost dropped her. My mom ran over and took her and handed her to DH and he told me that I was insane, and started screaming at me to get away from the baby. Then I started crying my eyes out, and then I woke up. I have been thinking about it all day. It makes me feel like I'm going to cry every time. I am about to lose it... Is this normal or is it a product of lack of sleep? Any suggestions on not having dreams like this? I dont think I can handle it if I have to have dreams like this much..

I think it is totally normal but try to do something calm or relaxing before going to bed. I had to go like 20 minutes without watching TV or reading before bed because my dreams were so intense and crazy. Try meditating or breathing exercises. I would write lists or notes of everything on my mind.
Hope you don't have to deal with having another one. They are too real

FWIW, I have been having vivid nightmares this entire pregnancy. Often. DH wakes me up sometimes and I am screaming. Anxiety/panic attacks are normal for me; nightmares are not. I'm chalking it up to pregnancy stuff
It really sucks. ((Hugs))
