Things they don’t tell you about pregnancy number 576-dreams.
All the dreams.
They are just so vivid. As if you’re getting enough sleep as it is what with ligament stretching and toilet breaks, your mind is on over drive.
From the day dreams when it is taking you six hours to actually get to sleep and you start thinking about your kids getting run over, a mad-murderer coming to kill everyone you love and then can’t get to sleep for crying about all the above.
Then when you do manage to get to sleep, your dreams are ridiculous.
There are the X-rated ones. Sometimes with unidentifiable individuals. Sometimes with totally inappropriate people when you wake up feeling a bit guilty.
I’ve dreamt about a pig farm and the pigs turned into killer pigs. Random-or maybe not for a farmer’s wife. Even though we don’t have pigs.
I’ve dreamt about losing random things like socks which, in the dream are the most important socks in the world.
Now on my third pregnancy of any length, I am generally amused by my dream fodder. After all, it’s given me something to write about.
I don’t like the frightening ones or the nightmares so no more of those please, brain. The others are quite amusing, so I am enjoying them while they last.
The pregnancy insomnia seems to be rearing it’s ugly head so I will take any dreaming I can get.
Let’s face it, when you’ve got a newborn, you don’t get enough unbroken sleep to dream.
Did you have weird dreams in pregnancy?
Oh that’s funny, I did have weird dreams in pregnancy but I’d forgotten. Mine were mostly about the baby. As you say I suppose you’ve got to be grateful for getting some sleep 😉

Oh my gosh, this is so true and I can relate to it 100%. This is my first pregnancy and at 23 weeks it’s taking me hours to get to sleep and when I do, I enter in to this crazy dream world! I wake up emotionally exhausted the next day from my weird dreams and it’s all so vivid! I haven’t dreamt about any killed pigs though thankfully ha ha!

Hahaha yes! Pregnancy dreams are crazy! I really, don’t properly remember mine at the moment, but they are very very vivid, and very weird. It’s like I remember them for half an hour, and then just have a weird feeling about it.
Thanks for hosting x #maternitymondays
I did dream a lot in my pregnancies, I remember them being very real and vivid too but they mainly involved children and babies rather than killer pigs! #maternitymondays
I had very steamy dreams when I was pregnant, my poor husband didn’t know what had hit him lol
