I just woke up from having a TERRIBLE nightmare. I need some advice on what you think it could be from. I am 15 weeks pregnant. My husband works night shift. I had a dream that he died in a car accident. He died in my arms in the dream. I felt like I couldn't wake up. It felt so real. It went on for so long after he died. I felt like something or someone was keeping me there to let me see something or learn something. I just want to know if anyone else has had nightmares like this when they were pregnant or if it is just me.

I think it's pretty normal to be worried about the worst-case scenario when pregnant, especially for the first time. You're worried because you don't know what having a baby will be like and worry about whether or not you would be able to handle being a single parent if something happened to your husband. First, you could manage. Thousands of women are single parents and do very well on their own. Secondly, I think that over-analyzing situations like this could tempt fate so don't think about it. I am sure your husband will be fine, you will be fine, your baby will be fine.
Try to think positive thoughts and before going to bed at night, read a happy story, like chicken soup for the soul and make sure that you don't have anything really heavy in your stomach. I always find I have disturbing dreams when I have indulged in a treat too close to bedtime.
Good Luck and Happy Thoughts!

I have had dreams where my youngest child has died. At first I wondered if it was some kind of sign, but as time went on and reasoning took over, I realized it was just my fear of something happening to one of my kids. I think that when we're pregnant, our subconscious goes a bit nuts. There are all sorts of new things to worry about and that shows up in our dreams. It's only natural to fear losing your husband with a baby on the way...even if you have not sat down and consciously thought about. Don't worry, unless you have had other dreams in the past that showed you something that actually happened after the dream, this was not a premoniton. Congrats on the baby!

well i have dreams like that all the time. maybe it's just that you feel out of control right now like things are happening and you can't do anything about them all you can do is watch them happen. Is that how you feel? Maybe deep down you know that there is a baby coming and you fear losing your husband and doing this whole mother thing alone and it's turning up in your dreams?well just talk to husband about it he can help you through it . people do say that when you dream of death it could be the beginning of a new life so try not to feel stressed about it. the lord will give you no more than you can bear. just think about more pleasant things like the first moment you will hold your baby in your arms. good luck

I am the same as you. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I've been having really vivid nightmares, often about my husband cheating on me or the baby being hurt in one way or another. I believe that it is a very common symptom in pregnancy so I wouldn't worry too much, its most likely that you are worrying about bad things happening in your sleep when your mind is ticking overtime.
I keep having dreams about vicious dogs/hyenas attacking me whilst I'm pregnant and no-one being there to help me. And as a rule I have no fear of dogs, I guess its just me over worrying that something will happen to the baby thats out of my control, which I think all pregnant women fear.
Please don't read too much into this, we worry enough in pregnancy about everything.
Good luck with your pregnancy.

I have pretty vivid, weird dreams while I am pregnant. I was told by a therapist that dreams are our minds dumping grounds and by that she meant that all those random things that come up in the course of our awake hours that we don't have time to sit and focus on, tend to get worked out of our system in our sub conscious through our dreams.
Sounds kinda wonky but the explanation worked for me enough that I wasn't traumatized and worried about hidden meaning in dreams and stopped running around waiting for "bad stuff" to happen.

When we are pregnant we worry that things will be ok, you know ,about the baby, being a good parent, the delivery and everything else.Everything i scary and the unknown can make us anxious...It's natural.Sometimes anxiety comes out in the form of dreams..Try to relax a little and enjoy your pregnancy.I don't think it's anything major to worry about...dreams don't come true...I take it this is your first baby?
