Recurring MC dream

[pinkgrasshopper]

Possibly a bit of a weird one this. I am 15 weeks today, and over the last few weeks have dreamt that I am MCing, about every other night. Dream is always along the same lines, I go to the loo- always whilst out at some event or another- and see that I am bleeding heavily. I have lost a pregnancy in the past, but the circumstances are not reflected in my dream in any way. In the dream I am very calm (highly unlikely based on prior experience) and go and tell my Dad (weirdly never DH, Mum or others) that I need to go to the hospital, which is when I wake up.

Has anyone else experienced this? It is really beginning to bother me. I don't believe in preminitions or such like, and know it's my subconscious dealing with normal pregnancy anxiety, but it's horrible!!

I had MC dreams a lot during early pregnancy. I think it's just a product of fear and paranoia. It was horrible though, and I hated going to sleep because of it. These days I am having dreams about demons though and waking up screaming so not sure it gets much better... ;)

I too have had some awful dreams about miscarrying. I also had a MC last year and I think it's just the subconcious dealing with that fear. You're right though... It's bloody horrible! I always wake up very upset. DH doesn't understand why I get so upset but they feel so real sometimes, it's like playing out the most awful thing in your sleep. I'm now 31 weeks and those dreams seem to have subsided a bit... Only to be replaced by equally horrible dreams!

Classic anxiety dream.

About 5 weeks ago I had an awful dream where I went into labour early and when the baby was out, the doctor said to me, "there's your baby" and pointed at the bedside table where there was a baby in a petri dish - it was about 4 inches long. I remember being hysterical and trying to leave the hospital but it was raining and I didn't know where the car was.

My DH thankfully woke me up at this point.

It was so vivid and I can remember every detail even now!

I'd definately put it down to subconcious anxiety, it's horrible, i was suffering the same kind of dreams about a month ago. Started to make me feel a bit paranoid. Eventually the dreams went of their own accord though, hope yours do soon too x

I have been having a recurring horrible dream since the beginning of this pregnancy, I dream that my husband dies and I am left to bring up dd1 and dd2 and carry on with this pregnancy alone. Obviously have woken up really upset but have needed to wake husband double check will situation, mortgage details, car payment details etc!! Have even mentally planned funeral, what me and dcs are going to wear, will we stay in house etc!!

My dh has a slightly dangerous job and I wonder if I'm actually worried about his safety and this is how its manifesting itself.

Poor you wigglesrock; that's horrible. I spoke to my Mum just now, and she said that she had a similar dream to yours when pregnant with my sister. At the time my Dad was in the Falklands with the RAF, during the war (shows how long ago it was!). Does sound like this is your mind reconciling your subconcious fears. Rationalising it doesn't make it any easier though...

Sounds really nasty! I've had these kinds of dreams too, and also about not looking after the baby properly, the baby having something majorly wrong with it.

It's the mind working through fears subconsciously, and has no bearing on reality.
