I've only just found out I'm pregnant so must be about 4 weeks and the last three nights I've had horrible dreams about accidents and things happening to DS. Just bought a new lawnmower and kept dreaming I was going to mow through the cable and the live end of the cable would flap around and chase DS around the garden trying to electrocute him!!

I don't remember having these when I was pregnant with DS. Its quite disconcerting! And I'm knackered now from lying awake half the night!!

Yes I have dreams like that too. They are very scary and seem very real even after I have woken up.

I've had tons of vivid and disturbing dreams since getting pg - being trapped in a serial killer's body, people invading our house, DP turning on me, ruining my baby's health/life/prospects...you name it.

I had very vivid dreams for the first couple of months but it wore off, no idea when but it's definitely gone now (I'm 24 weeks) and I haven't had them for a looooong time. smile

I had a horrible dream the other night that I was bleeding down below and also that a work clients daughter died (I don't even think he has a daughter!)

When a friend of mine was pregnant she dreamt her baby was born with all her teeth already grown and said "hello mummy" when she came out!!

I think its normal to have anxiety dreams. Not that I am a dream interpreter but maybe your dream about electrocuting DS could be about your fear of him feeling left out / neglected by having another one?? Hope this doesn't offend you and I'm not trying to imply thats what you'll do but perhaps thats a subconsicous fear? (God I sound like my mother - she's a psychotherapist, but a very wise one!)

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
