Horrible vivid "postpartum" dreams

Has anyone experienced awful dreams AFTER you already had your baby?

With my first pregnancy, I always had bad dreams. But it seemed like the day she was born, all dreaming stopped. She was extremely colicky, so you can imagine I was under a lot of stress, but still no dreaming.

3.5years later with my second pregnancy, I didn't have any dreams. Not until after he was born. He's the total opposite of my first. He's very calm, happy, and overall just "easier". He is 9.5 months old now and ever since he was born, every single night, I've had awful awful dreams or "nightmares". They get so bad that I often find myself waking my fiance to hold me. Last night was the worst though. I had two dreams, the first dream, I was trying to kill myself and I immediately woke up. The second dream, I was raped. It was awful. I woke up screaming and crying. I don't know what is going on but after lastnight, I just don't want to sleep anymore due to fear of what I might dream next. It's serioulsy every. single. night and it's getting out of control.

I tried searching on a Google a bit and the only tjing I could find is that it could be linking to ppd. But I'm not depressed. I do plan on talking to my dr on Monday, I just want ti know if anyone else has experienced the same thing.
