Drinking wine whilst pregnant dream

[preggegg]

I keep having these crazy recurrent dreams where I get really drunk on wine and then feel so guilty that I’m pregnant.
Sometimes in the dream I am aware I’m pregnant and do it anyway, and sometimes I forget, get drunk and then remember when it’s too late.
I had two glasses of wine two days before my positive test and don’t know if it’s subconsciously playing on my mind (I was convinced I was out that month) . Before that I did sober October and had generally been drinking less to try and conceive anyway.

When I wake up I often get confused (In the post-dream state) and think back to other dreams and wonder if they’re dreams or real memories.

Does anyone else get weird dreams like this, doing things you shouldn’t?!

Try not to worry about it! In my pregnancy I had very vivid dreams and nightmares which always seemed worse than when I wasn’t pregnant.
It probably is playing on your mind but please try not to worry! I had a proper night out and got quite drunk and then found out I was pregnant a few days later, you won’t be the only one whose had a couple of drinks.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with really vivid dreams! I'd say don't fret about it. I literally had a dream a few weeks back that I went into labour in the smoking area of the pub. I just chalked it up to my subconscious being weird.

My first I had recurring dreams about a zombie outbreak and I would only wake up just as I was being bitten. Very vivid and real feeling. Absolutely awful. Thankfully I didn’t get them in my other pregnancies

Absolutely. Last week I had a dream that I had given birth and left the baby in the hospital, then got home and felt a bit guilty about it. Woke up horrified!

I had an incredibly vivid dream where I murdered my neighbour (who I like!) and woke up feeling really guilty. Some others too but that's the maddest.

I had so many of these dreams with my first pregnancy, and now with this one too. Last nights involved eating a whole plate of parma ham before realising it is not recommended :D sometimes it involves alcohol or cheeses etc.!

I always wake up feeling so guilty, but then relieved that it was all just a dream!

I gave up alcohol a year ago and sometimes I have dreams I've had a drink. My DH used to have recurring nightmares when I was pregnant, we lived up a big hill and he dreamt he'd let go of her pram and it had rolled down the hill. It's your subconscious

When I was pregnant, I had a series of extremely sexy dreams about running off with my plumber!
I couldn't look him in the eye after that...

Ha loving all the replies- makes me feel less like a total weirdo, thanks! 😄

I’d recommend reading Expecting Better by Emily Oster just for peace of mind regarding the (lack of) effect the two glasses of wine will have had prior to your positive test (I’m wondering if you’re dwelling on it a bit on some level?).

But yes - I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant and having very vivid dreams. Had to avoid a colleague the other week due to intense irrational anger because in my dream he’d made me take him to the zoo instead of a work conference and we ended up getting fired…

A few times after I quit smoking (which I have done several times, successfully, just not forever!) I would have dreams of smoking, and would wake up absolutely feeling guilty.
And before getting pregnant, I would dream about having thr baby and forgetting about it in the shops, or not feeding it for days!

Strangely, this now that I am pregnant and have, once again quit smoking, Ive had no such dreams.
But rest assured... they are completly normal!

@ASGIRC I'm a smoker (obviously not at the minute) and I dream of it constantly 😭

Every other time Ive quit Ive had the dreams for months!!!
This time, nothing! Not even sure how thats happened!
However.. I am not 100% positive I will not start smoking again once baby is here. I do miss a good ciggie!

@ASGIRC I want to stop permanently, but honestly I don't think I will.

@IzzyMas to be fair, that was my goal as well, but I find myself craving ciggies very often. Havent been tempted to have one, but once Im no longer pregnant, and drinking wine again... Im not sure I wont give in!

I had such vivid dreams when pregnant!
but I’m definitely not pregnant now and gave up smoking years ago but still dream I’ve forgotten I’m meant to have stopped and I’m smoking and then feel really annoyed with myself- it’s from the will power involved. I also dream I’m drunk driving because I never would.

@ASGIRC I literally dreamt I was in labour in the pub smoking area with a bottle of rose and 20 ciggies, I'm impossible 😢

@IzzyMas Im sorry, but thats really funny!!!
I havent had any anxiety dreams since I got pregnant, which Im grateful for, cause they can be horrible!
I am just counting down the days until I give birth and I can have some wine and some proper beers (Ive been living off of 0.0% beer for 6 months now!)

@ASGIRC I replaced booze with cherry coke, not an exact substitute but oh well!

I have the most crazy detailed dream ever like seriously it's so strange when I wake up im like wtaf was that about ! I have them everynight since I was like 10 weeks im not 17 weeks

@preggegg i have been having the exact same dreams! Sometimes I know and do it anyway and my family are so mad at me and sometimes I forgot and I’m mad at myself. I had them for weeks…These have recently been replaced with recurrent dreams where my partner is trying to leave me and I am trying to trick him into having sex with me 😂 always in very bizarre ways/locations and often in front of friends or celebrities. Honestly these preggo dreams are mental…bring back the wine dreams 😂😂😂
