Terrible nightmares about your baby?

I never have nightmares. Maybe like 3 times a year I will get them.

Last night I had a horrible one about my baby.....I won't post it because it is disturbing. I thought about it all day.

Anyone get these? I would assume it's normal, but it's not normal for ME, kwim?

I figure if people said they have had one or two throughout their pregnancy, it would make me feel a bit better.

Re: Terrible nightmares about your baby?

You're in your last trimester, right? I remember reading in a couple of baby books that it's very common to get extremely vivid dreams (sometimes nightmares) at this point. And I KNOW I've read PG women's nightmares on this board! Though I've never experienced it, trust me, I know you are not alone .

I rarely have nightmares but the other night I had a TERRIBLE one about the baby. It was the night before I had a dr. appt., so I just figured I was nervous or something.

I had this, got worse after having them for me.

Doc said it's usually ur fears.

I have a very hard basement floor, im so afraid of dropping him on it. I had dream after dream about this. The dreams went away about 2 months after he was born.

I actually posted it on parenting.
