I know (hope) they’ll eventually stop. Sometimes they do, but so far they always come back, one way or the other my dreams change into anxiety filled nightmares of being back at the NICU. Having to deal with everything again. My baby was born at 34w3d and stayed 12 days at the NICU, I was sent home 3 days postpartum. As I left the hospital and saw my car and realized I was leaving empty handed with no idea what to do, I felt the loneliest I’ve ever felt, even with my husband by my side. Later I make comments about how everyone says pregnancy dreams are super crazy, but no one warns you about postpartum crazy nightmares, nobody gets it or comments anything, because now I know that’s not really normal. It’s been 7 months since he was born, he’s great, super healthy and everything. I’m happy that I’m not feeling super anxious about everything anymore, but at the same time whenever I have a NICU related nightmare again, find out a friend/relative is pregnant, don’t get enough sleep, or get anxious again because of whatever, it really gets me down. I’d like for it to stop already, I know it takes time, I just wanted to get this feeling out.
