Pregnancy - weird dreams

[Fozziebearmum2b]

Since being pregnant I've started to have bad dreams, relating to my ex partner.

I was in a relationship which ended 7 years ago with a controlling and sometimes abusive man and when I found the courage to end it, the economy and circumstances meant that we had to live together for a while which was utterly horrendous (no DCs thankfully!)

Anyway since being pregnant I've been having nightmares about various things-ie he wants me back and massive argument or Im trying to protect my baby bump when he's in one of his drunken rants....

It's awful and wondering if anyone else is experiencing something similar? Assume its hormones....?

Yes I have really strange dreams about random things and people I have not seen for years. Sometimes people that have died. The other night I dreamt that I had started smoking even though I haven't smoked for years. The dreams are really vivid and real. I am sure it's todo with hormones.

I've had recurring dreams that I am drunk and when I realize that I'm drunk, I panic and feel guilty.
I've had these dreams throughout my pregnancy and I haven't touched a drop since before I was pregnant, although I was a bit of a party girl previously!

I have been having weird dreams and very vivid. Most of them really sad. Like animals dying or arguments with people, not nice! Def a common pregnancy thing I think.
