Pregnancy is a very special stage but also a stage of changes. Hormones make your emotions run high and the content of your dreams can be affected. There are many women who are not prone to nightmares and yet experience them frequently during the gestation period. These strange dreams reflect the fears and worries of the future mother but you should know that it is something completely normal and that it does not indicate any problem neither yours nor the baby’s.
Today in our post we talk about the most common and repeated dreams during pregnancy, you will see how you share many dreams with the rest of pregnant women!
- Dreaming of water. At sea, in a pool, on a rainy day. It is not very clear why this dream is so common in pregnant women, but it is believed that it may be due to the fear of breaking water at an inappropriate time and place.
- Falls. As your body weight increases, you feel more clumsy, so tripping and falling are very common dreams.
- Feeling locked up somewhere. You are aware that from now on your life is going to change and perhaps this recurring dream is due to the fear of being deprived of part of your freedom. This dream is common during the first months but as the pregnancy progresses, that fear will disappear.
- Gain weight overnight. Your weight is increasing and dreaming that you wake up one morning and have suddenly gained many pounds will be a great nightmare for you.
- Dreaming of infidelities. Changes in your physical appearance make you perhaps less confident in yourself and therefore think that your partner no longer sees you as attractive. As long as you don’t obsess over these dreams and extrapolate them to real life, there’s no problem. Your partner loves you for who you are, not just for your physique, it’s something you should keep in mind.
- Gifted son. It is common to dream that your child has some ability above normal shortly after birth. Your concern about your child’s development is starting to show.
- Frequent forgetfulness. It is normal for you to be afraid of not being prepared enough, so you may dream that you are forgetting important things. Don’t worry, it’s normal to be a little scared!
- Your baby’s resemblance. During the second trimester you will know the sex of your baby so dreams about who he will look like are normal. Seeing your child’s face with features very similar to his father’s is the most normal, since, apart from you, he is the closest person to him.
- Memories or people close to you who have already passed away. . It is very common to dream of family members or friends who have died during the first stage of pregnancy. You will surely dream of that important person accompanied by your future baby. That person is so special to you that you would love for them to meet them and that is why your subconscious imagines them.
- Dreams about the baby’s health. It is normal for every mother to worry about the most important thing for her, that her baby is healthy. This desire for your child’s good health makes dreaming about it quite frequent during pregnancy.
- The moment of delivery. During the last months of pregnancy it is normal for you to have recurring dreams about childbirth. Don’t obsess and fall asleep thinking about the best moment you will experience: when you hold your child in your arms for the first time.
The important thing is that you are calm and that you know that they are just that: dreams. They are not premonitions, simply reflections of your fears, concerns and insecurities. Enjoy this beautiful stage that you have the opportunity to be living 😉
