Nightmares?!

Not to act insane but I was warned about nightmares, thought it was BS, and now I have them every night. I hear just the most awful guttural screams most of the time. WTF? Has anyone else dealt with this?

girl yes, ive had some pretty scary gutter dreams that feel like real life.. woke up crying type dreams i think it just comes with the pregnancy but what usually helps me if thinking about something positive before bed or scrolling down tik tok watching something funny

if your stressed too i think that plays a part i notice i only have bad dreams when ive had a negative day

Ugh tysm; I hope this is it. It’s a high stress time as we’re moving. 🖤 Love to you cuz the nightmares SUCK

yes that can definitely play a part, may be your brain trying to process all of your emotions that cant process while your awake

I’m sorry you’re having nightmares 😞 This pregnancy and my last I had wild dreams! It just seems to be part of the program, but I would assume the terrifying stuff will ease up once your life becomes a bit less stressful. Moving is SO challenging. Sending hugs 🥰

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
