Anyone else having weird scary dreams and then lying awake for hours?

I've only just found out I'm pregnant so must be about 4 weeks and the last three nights I've had horrible dreams about accidents and things happening to DS. Just bought a new lawnmower and kept dreaming I was going to mow through the cable and the live end of the cable would flap around and chase DS around the garden trying to electrocute him!!

I don't remember having these when I was pregnant with DS. Its quite disconcerting! And I'm knackered now from lying awake half the night!!

Yes I have dreams like that too. They are very scary and seem very real even after I have woken up.

I've had tons of vivid and disturbing dreams since getting pg - being trapped in a serial killer's body, people invading our house, DP turning on me, ruining my baby's health/life/prospects...you name it.

I had very vivid dreams for the first couple of months but it wore off, no idea when but it's definitely gone now (I'm 24 weeks) and I haven't had them for a looooong time.

I had a horrible dream the other night that I was bleeding down below and also that a work clients daughter died (I don't even think he has a daughter!)

When a friend of mine was pregnant she dreamt her baby was born with all her teeth already grown and said "hello mummy" when she came out!!

I think its normal to have anxiety dreams. Not that I am a dream interpreter but maybe your dream about electrocuting DS could be about your fear of him feeling left out / neglected by having another one?? Hope this doesn't offend you and I'm not trying to imply thats what you'll do but perhaps thats a subconsicous fear? (God I sound like my mother - she's a psychotherapist, but a very wise one!)

I have mad crazy dreams and i have really scary dreams, i keep dreaming that i have given birth already, i even covinced myself THROUGH MY DREAMS THAT MY DH IS HAVING AN AFFAIR !! poor bloke doesnt leave my side, i am just lucky that he is understanding to my mad hormones at the moment.. i keep waking up in the night too and just cannot get back to sleep, i get up for work some mornings and end up dozing off on the train cos i'm so tired, still 12 more weeks till i go on mat leave, then i will be a lady of leisure and can sleep when and where i want. lol

Hi all, I'm 28 weeks pg and still have these horrible dreams so i can't sleep on a nite. my main one is that some1 has got into my house and taken my one and only dc away from me. It does help me as I'm already on sick leave do to depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress.
