Has anyone been suffering with nightmares? I can only find links with raunchy dreams or dreams about babies when i've looked through information. But some of the dreams i've had have been really bad!!

I had one the other night when DH was forced onto a plane to South Africa while I was in labour. I had to stay in prison with SIL who I don't like. Woke up crying!! Think it's your mind working our unconscious fears...Hope so anyway.

Had loads of nightmares when I was pg - usually DH leaving me or being nasty or two-timing type dreams. Not nice, but it's your hormones & your subconscious worrying about baby etc I think

I am an awful 'dreamer' when i'm not preg but when I am preg my dreams go into overdrive... either real horrid ones in which i'm talking, kicking out and going mad- always waking DP or finding myself downstairs doing something really odd- such as lining up cleaning bottles in the lounge... Or occassionally get a 'nice' dream which i'm madly in love with someone gorgeously attractive...

Always waking up crying and have no idea why. DP jokes i'm more active when i'm sleeping

ooh yes, i dreamt like mad when i was pregnant! it was mostly about really strange things like train journeys to spooky places, or being lost, in fact when i think about it, in the dreams everything was always beyond my control. one night i sort of half woke up and i thought dh's tie was a rattle snake about to get me(it was hanging off the wardrobe door!) i also dreamt a lot about spiders....

Well that is a welcome relief it must be normal, i have had the usual baby dreams like my baby having the face of a Jack Russell dog! (ok maybe not that usual) but i hadnt had these nightmares before and the weird thing is they are nothing to do with babies or my bf or anything like that, that is why i was a bit confused.
Bubblepop that is sooo funny about the rattlesnake!! x
