I'm 20+4 weeks at the moment and really I'm quite lucky to be lacking from a lot of pregnancy symptoms (didn't realise I was pregnant until 11 weeks as since I'm 19 I'm not very regular). I've had a mood swings and crying jags etc all within reason but my main issue is the nightmares. Websites out there say scary nightmares can occur during pregnancy but I feel totally traumatised by mine. Other people's nightmares seem to exist of "dropping the baby" while mines are on a whole new level of things like "chopping my teenage brothers hand off with a knife while sleepwalking and sewing them back on backwards while blood spurts all over my mums white carpet" in graphic gory detail. I'm not a big fan of blood and guts and rarely watch crime or murder shows as I have to turn away from the screen whenever the body comes on so I don't know how my imagination is going so wild. When I wake up I don't want to go back to sleep because I feel so traumatised
