Dreams of birth dates and gender of baby?

Hi, has anyone experienced pregnancy dreams where they was not aware they was pregnant and they knew their babys date of birth and gender and later found out that they were pregnant….

OP with respect, this is the 3rd time you have posted this thread in 2 days?
I understand you are trying for a baby, and I really hope this cycle is the one for you! But only testing closer to when your period is due or if you miss your period will confirm if you are pregnant x

I wouldn't put any stock in dreams. The mind is a powerful thing, and when it's hyperfixated on something (such as having a baby) it stands to reason that you will begin to dream vividly about such things.

During the longest stretch of TTC (over 2 years) I had multiple dreams about pregnancy, but each cycle only bought a BFN. I had no dreams before my BFPs, but weirdly I kinda already knew I was going to see a second line.

With respect OP, I had a look at your posting history and a couple things stand out. The first is that this is now your 11th month of TTC, which certainly explains the hyperfixation. However, it taking up to a year is normal for 80-90% of couples under 40. It sucks to be in that 10-20%, but at least soon you can get the ball rolling on a fertility consult, in which time you may conceive anyway.

The second is that unless you haven't tested at all since your last period, you are not pregnant. If you were, then you would be 6-7 weeks, and there would be a definite line. As it is, you are 15 days from the start of your last period, which means you've likely only just ovulated, and sperm might not even have met egg yet.

Third is that you become overly aware of your body when TTC. As I said, the mind is a powerful thing, but it can also be tricked and convinced otherwise, which then leads the body into believing it is experiencing symptoms it isn't. Please try to relax, it really isn't healthy to obsess over this. I would know, I've been there. The stress might also be impacting your fertility, so it is absolutely for your benefit.

I genuinely hope this cycle will be the one for you.

I wouldn't rely on dreams to be honest. Whilst trying to get pregnant I had a vivid dream that I got pregnant with twin boys... that was a while ago though and I wasn't pregnant at the time. I'm now pregnant but a singleton pregnancy confirmed by a scan (unsure of the sex yet as it's too early).

I had a dream of a BFP both times before my first two BFPs. Both ended in miscarriage.

When I got pregnant with my son, I had no indications whatsoever. I then had two dreams I was having a girl, and he was most definitely a beautiful little boy when he was born at 19 weeks. I never dreamed about losing a baby.

I'm currently pregnant and have had no dreams at all about it. Dreams don't mean anything .

OP, this is the second month in a row where you've posted speculating that all manner of things could indicate you're pregnant, from a dog weeing on your bed, to feeling queasy at the fridge, and now on to dreams. I'm sure it was barely 2 weeks ago that you acknowledged you were getting BFNs and then AF came. As such, and as with last time, it is physically impossible for you to be pregnant right now.

You've said previously that you have been TTC for a year. Are you definitely having sex at the right times of the month? As your posts do suggest a lack of understanding of the menstrual cycle. If you're serious about TTC, this is potentially something to look into. Or the level of stress you're putting yourself under could also be affecting your ability to conceive. As s a PP said, the fixation you're currently displaying isn't healthy. Given you're only 20, you may also want to consider reaching out to your GP for fertility testing.
