Nightmares

Alesha

I’m almost 14 weeks postpartum and this week I started having nightmares. Like world ending (zombies, war) or intruders in my home and I can’t protect my family nightmares. I wake up crying next to my husband and check my baby in his bassinet right by my bed and everyone is fine.

Have you experienced this? How can I stop them?

So I use to have nightmares and night terrors as a child/teen. Honestly I thought the dreams I had during those were horrible. I kept getting chased by a big monster and dying around my high school. When I was in my second trimester I started having night terrors again. Those by far were the worst dreams I have ever experienced. Instead of me dying it was my child. At one point I kept myself awake cause I couldn’t go through with dreaming about it anymore. The only way I got some time of peace while sleeping is if my fiancé held me. Everybody that I asked about if they had this happen told me no and said I’m overthinking shit. The only thing I overthought about was if my son would have seizures like me or be allergic to the same medication that I am.

I had those kind of dreams too! They were so intense too. I’m 13 weeks postpartum and still having intense dreams.
