Violent dreams while pregnant

Kellie

Try googling "violent dreams while pregnant." I'm living through nightmares after I wake up, breaking up in sweat and prolonged anxiety. I am often the one causing the violence (petty and horrendous crimes) but in reality, I'm a pretty mellow person.

I don't understand WHY my doctors (primary and OBGYN) aren't taking it seriously. Pretty much every week, 3/4 days I'd wake up around 4am AND I REMEMBER THESE DREAMS VIVIDLY!

... This can't be healthy for the baby. EDIT: by this I meant, once I'm up feeling anxious, I can't go back to sleep. I'm not getting enough sleep = that's not healthy.

Prior to being pregnant, I never remember dreams. I'm starting to think it's my prenatal vitamins... so if you're pregnant and not taking (really!) but still have violent dreams, please proof my theory wrong!

I want to stop these awful dreams 😭 I'm 15 weeks and this probably started in my first trimester, one or two dreams a week. Now it's more frequent.
