Hi mummies and mummies to be!

So I am 9 weeks pregnant with my 2nd (yay!) and I had my flu jab yesterday. Last night I had the most intense/scary dreams I was wondering if any of you know if this is a side effect of the jab at all? Or if any of you have had similar experiences? I didn't have the flu jab with my first as it was during the summer!
TIA x

@MummaR92

I had the flu jab on Tuesday, but I’ve been having nightmares since finding out I’m pregnant tbh! Had an awful once last night. 😢I’m 5 weeks today

@Lgxo oh bless you hun hopefully they won't continue as the pregnancy goes on. I remember with my first I had weird dreams towards the end of my pregnancy more to do with labour and what the baby would look like but nothing scary or intense like mine were last night!

I think it's a coincidence I didn't have my vaccination until 16 weeks but for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy I was awake all night with vivid dreams. It drove me mad.

@Ginandtonic31 oh blimey that sounds awful!! I hope it is just a coincidence as I can't be dealing with those types of dreams again 🤦‍♀️

Increased and vivid dreaming is symptom of pregnancy (hormones etc). Ive been having the most ridiculous dreams. Last week I had a dream that I took Henry VIII to court 😂

I think its just coincidental
