Dreamt of miscarriage - first trimester

[IrishMaster]

So long story short, I am 10w4d with my fourth pregnancy. My first pregnancy ended up in MC 8w4d, second was a chemical and third was around 7 weeks.
This pregnancy was an accident as fiancé and I decided to stop trying this year to protect our mental health from the losses.
I was bound by anxiety on the first 3 pregnancies, my mental health plummeted and I just had this instinct that something was wrong. This pregnancy has been totally different, I have felt very calm throughout.
HOWEVER in all my pregnancies, I dreamt beforehand that I was pregnant. And so I'm pretty sure my subconcious knows what's going on before I do. Additionally with the miscarriages, I dreamt of those too before they happened.
This pregnancy so far has gone very smoothly, I have had 3 early scans with the EPU and everything looked great, growing on track, I've been taking aspirin and progesterone. All in all, it's felt very different in a good way and I am the furthest along I have ever gotten, with my 12 week dating scan a week today.
To add to the complex history, I had my first MC in our holiday home by the coast and so being here can bring back those painful memories. We are here again for a week before our dating scan for a holiday and last night I had my first dream of a miscarriage this pregnancy... and it's spooked me.
Now I am concerned. Fiancé thinks it's a bad sign again. I am wondering whether it's because I am here, pregnant again, and a week away from the dating scan that I am just hyper aware of the MC we had here and somehow it's worked its way into my subconscious. OR, is my body just trying to tell me the impending doom is coming??

@IrishMaster i assume you are irish? we really are a superstitious nation, i too had a dream of bleeding this pregnancy and was very scared, i am 19 weeks today and so far everything ok, i had a miscarriage last November/December and i was very superstitious about not repeating anything i did then now, so i threw out clothes, bedclothes, i refused to go back to same ultrasound place, wouldn't say the same things etc the list was endless

through some things beyond my control i had to go to the same ultrasound place, had to go on same date in month i found out i had miscarriage last time, i had to break so many of the superstitions i had held and considered bad luck, and i am glad i did, it freed me in a way

I have new superstitions now lol i say the rosary before scans, but i am less serious about it all

My advice is genuinely try and ignore it, the miscarriage dreams are something nearly every pregnant woman has, they are anxiety dreams, and whether you will have a miscarriage of a healthy baby the chances are you will have this dream, try and allow your logical brain to take over, hard as that may be, as my granny would say, it is unlucky to be superstitious haha

Wishing you every bit of good luck (i get the irony) and a healthy and happy pregnancy x

Thanks @38andtrying for your message! I am half Irish and my family are definitely superstitious. It was definitely reassuring to read. Now I've slept on it, I am not feeling so spooked and think it was likely a subconscious dream stemming from fear, particularly being in a place that ignites previous memories of loss, rather than a prediction of the future. I mean rationally and scientifically, there is no basis to go off of...
Less than a week to go until my 12 week scan and still feeling very much pregnant with all the symptoms so I will go off of that rather than my dream!
Congratulations on being 19 weeks! Best of luck to you too! Will update on how my scan goes!

@IrishMaster ah try not to worry about dreams! I dreamt I was a camel once 😂thankfully that didn't come true haha

Our brains hold on to trauma pretty tightly, and that often shows through in dreams. It's not a premonition of what's to come, it's the fear of what has happened in the past happening again.

I really hope you have a great 12 week scan and it's all positive news. Hugs x

@moosey89 @38andtrying Had the 12 week scan today, all was very well! Measured ahead at 12w4d. Thanks both for helping the nerves when I needed it :)

@IrishMaster that's great news! thanks for sharing your update. Hope the rest of the pregnancy goes nice and smoothly too x

brilliant news xx
