Mortified (and really quite traumatised)

One of my, truly lovely pregnancy symptoms, aside from agonising spd, calf cramps and all encompassing rage at everything in the world, has been truly horrifically vivid nightmares.

I woke up screaming at 4am last night after dreaming that baby pickle was stillborn. It was absolutely all my fault; I hadn't noticed him/her kick throughout the day (nothing new there) and just assumed it was a "quiet" day. Without going into too much detail (mainly because it's still very raw), it was all my fault and everything fell apart.

Scared the living shit out of DH, who did his best to stop the hysterical crying, but I was inconsolable for a good twenty minutes. I was also clearly VERY loud as our downstairs neighbours decided that banging on the ceiling was a good way to placate me.

I am beyond mortified. They clearly think DH went on some homicidal rampage or that I
Am some over-emotional loonbag. In all fairness, the latter is true at the moment, but I just need the nightmares to stop.

I dreamt my uncle died last night it was so horrible that I went to see him today just to make sure Blush
It's horrible . Hopefully they stop soon. Watch happy things on tv before going to bed or listen to calm music and avoid cheese - apparently it helps

I had this at the start with this baby and horrific nightmares after my first was born. I'd dream she'd been taken and I'd sit up, still asleep, searching through the duvet for her and crying until DH would shake me awake and make me look in her basket.
It was horrific. Sympathies.

Must have been hormones and sleep depravation in my case as it went away a few weeks after birth.
