Wacky dreams

So far I have had these dreams: Falling so much in love with my ex that I didn't care about my partner bringing his ex back to our house Eating brownies that were actually flapjack at my colleagues house whilst my partner fed our spaniel a three course meal at Flamborough. Running after a bus with a little boy and getting shunned by a bus driver with an Italian gangster accent that looked like my friend's husband. Trying to run a 10k race whilst pregnant and and carrying a handbag full of bricks, then getting rescued by some old ladies and racing over the finish line Having a housewarming party with girls aloud and then going to bed, but my partner getting back up and going to play strip poker with them, apart from it was actually strip snakes and ladders and a little fat guy joined in and won I wonder what tonight will bring :-D

Not my baby??

I dreamed that I was in a big city, far from home, about five months pregnant. Someone brought me a baby that wasn't mine and made me breastfeed it. It was a big fancy hotel but I wasn't supposed to leave it.

5 Weeks- Scary dreams.

I am currently 5 weeks pregnant, and last night I had a dream that I was at a hospital, and I was telling them I had a lot of pain, but I checked out and everything was fine, well when I got home I was bleeding, and I had lost my baby. It was HORRIBLE. It felt so vivid and real, that when I woke up I had to check myself, and now I am so worried I will lose my baby. Other dreams i have had have always been super violent, or out there, like i stole a cell phone from a talking cat? lol :O

Scariest dream ever

Last night I dreamt that I was peeing at someplace and I looked down in my panties and saw an unborn baby. He looked like an alien but I was able to see little eyes and a mouth. Then I got out of the restroom and saw a happy baby boy. His mother asked me if I could hold him so that she could pay for her stuff.

Demon baby

When I first conceived and had no idea I was pregnant I had a dream about my baby. It seemed perfect in every way and I went to breast feed my baby and my nipples were black and about 2 inches long. As I breastfed my baby he/she started to suck so hard that I started bleeding and the baby kept eating as if that was its intention. The baby was a demon baby and that was the scariest dream I've ever had. Since then no more scary dreams just the regular sex of the baby dreams and one last night where her little feet and hands started pushing out so clearly I could see her fingers and toes. It was so cute I'm excited for her to be here but that first dream really freaked me out.

Shark attack dream

I'm 7weeks pregnant and I had a dream that my 3yr old son fell off the pier and my sister jumped in the water to save him when a shark bit his leg off and my sister passed him over to me as I screamed for help. As my sister was trying to get out of the water I woke up. When I woke I had to keep telling myself it wasn't real.

My dream

I am 8 weeks pregnant and I keep having dreams about me losing my baby. My most recent dream was about myself and my partner fighting and a college course friend who is male coming in and saying, "Stop fighting it will upset the baby." Then me saying just go away, then him chucking knifes at me until one stabbed me in my belly but the thing is in my dream I could see my self and I looked about 8 months. My partner just looked at me a laughed while I laid the bleeding when I woke up I was really freaked out. Has anyone had a dream like this??

5-6 Weeks Along

Krys, I had a similar dream except in mine I was camping with my family and started bleeding really heavily. When I went to the bathroom to check my pad it had a tiny little placenta in the middle of the blood that had a tiny quarter inch long embryo in it and I was at a loss of what I should do: flush it down the toilet or bury it. I came out of the bathroom and told my mom that I never had a chance to tell her that I was expecting and now I had miscarried. I can only assume that it came from the tightness I've been feeling as my uterus is growing mixing with my own fears of not making it through the first 8 weeks. I also have thought about what you're suppose to do when you miscarry early on, emotionally speaking and "result" speaking. I hope I never find out!

Weird

So... so far I have gave birth to a raccoon, lassoed a goat with my belt for my brother in law to eat, painted my baby's clothes with purple stripes, gave birth to a baby with webbed feet, taken my baby out of my belly and played dress up and put her back in, became best friends with the werewolf that was sent to kill me by vampires, and I'm sure these aren't the last.

Scary

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and dream constantly that I'm bleeding or losing the baby, it's usually so vivid I wake up crying and checking myself for bleeding. It takes an hour to calm down and I'm usually shaking.

Tragedy...at Wal-Mart

My mom and I took our kids to Walmart (her 1 yr old, my 2 yr old, & my new baby) and there was a little baby in a stroller out in the windy wet parking lot, nobody around it. I was calling the law when a guy comes out claiming the baby and arguing with me about how that was dangerous to leave a small baby or any child in the parking lot alone & he shoots a flathead screw driver right at my mom's head.

Crazy danm pig

I dreamt about me yelling at a pig for no reason it was so real...he was oink oink squealing back at me. Then he got up and started to swing at me ...we started going at it for while until I pushed him down and I was putting my hand on his mouth and he was squealing and trying to get back up.....then I heard my phone ring and I woke up to my mother actually calling me...thanks mom...I almost had him!

Dreaming baby is act like a monster

First I dreamed I saw my baby wearing pink outfit and then I saw little penis. So I finally know that I'm having a boy and I dreamed twice that my baby is acting like an adult on his age. What does it mean?

The show must go on!

I work at a theatre that puts on broadway style show as a stage manager (the person who runs the show) and I went into labor during a show and couldn't go to the hospital because I was told the show must go on!

Early Visit

I have the same dream every night where I'm at my sister's house and she wants to see him. In every dream I am able to just pull him out with my hands and let her hold him. He's still attached to the cord and everything and then when she's done I simply just put him back in.
