Is it normal to have strange dreams in pregnancy?

There are so many things about pregnancy that people don't tell you! Dreams in pregnancy are certainly more vivid.

Some of these dreams one would expect a woman to experience during pregnancy because of the apprehension she may be feeling about the birth or parenthood.These would include having an abnormal infant, getting home with the baby to an unfinished nursery, leaving the baby in a supermarket and other similar themes.

Other dreams are more surprising. Women have dreams of being attacked, of being shut in a confined space, and drowning. By far the most surprising for most women is the sexual encounter dreams which are also completely normal.

It is important not to let yourself feel any form of guilt, panic or fear regarding these dreams. They are merely fantasies which you certainly cannot control.

Many of the dreams of pregnancy are more uplifting in their anticipation of the birth of a unique and beautiful human being. These are the dreams you would want to focus on. Let their positivity fill you with happiness and peace and try not to be too anxious about the impending birth and motherhood.
