HORRIBLE Nightmares, anyone??

For more info, I’m expecting an August 2018 baby (17 weeks now), with my amazing fiancé. We are getting married next week on March 9th!! Super excited about everything in my life right now, so where tf are these nightmares coming from?!?!?

I’ve been having such terrifying nightmares lately that I am waking up screaming and kicking in the middle of the night. Finally decided to write this and take a poll after last night’s nightmare marathon. FOUR nightmares that I can remember, back to back, to the point where I literally was too afraid to get up by myself and go to the kitchen for some water, so I asked my fiancé to come with me. One better, he had water right next to him and gave it to me!

My dreams are mostly about demons, or men who are going to “do something” to me. Lately in my dreams, my fiancé’s face has been morphing all of a sudden, and becoming the demon, or the other man that I don’t know...I have no clue what that’s about, but it sure does make it hard for me to calm down when he tries to hold me and tell me it’s okay after I’ve woken up screaming.

I have a history of childhood sexual abuse, as do too many people out there...I’m used to these nightmares when they are about my abuser, but these new nightmares that seem to have begun halfway through my first trimester have nothing to do with my abuser. When I had dreams about him, I’d know what to expect...that almost makes it easier to deal with and calm down from when I wake up, but now I literally shake after I wake from these dreams, and I cry and try to understand where it’s coming from, which just makes me even more upset and scared.

With all this info, what do you ladies think??

Have you had similar dreams about demons, and people wanting to hurt you?

At what point of pregnancy has/did it all start?

What do you do to calm down after you’ve woken up? You
