Anyone else having pregnancy nightmares?

I don't understand why I woke up last night feeling like a kid experiencing their first nightmare. I had to tell myself that there isn't a zombie outbreak and there isn't a war going on outside. Afterwards asking my bf for comfort and confirmation🫠 I've had alot of bad dreams and nightmares but this was so odd to me. I do have bad anxiety which I imagine didn't help any but I'm curious if anyone else had this? I'm only 12 weeks and this is my first pregnancy so I feel a little clueless 🙈

Oh yes, that’s super normal! Pregnancy is known for crazy dreams. I found that the further along I got the crazier they go. Now my dreams are insane and nightmarish

I had nightmares during pregnancy too!

Same here, mine had a lot of waves crashing

YES and this is not nice at all... Last night I had a bad dream that my first born was half burned into his sleep. Awful

I am expecting a girl. At the beginning of my pregnancy, when my edd was August, i had a dream that I gave birth to a boy in April. He was fully developed and could shapeshift into a fully grown cat

Super normal! They are so vivid it’s bizarre xx

What do we think?

I have no idea what to look for but thought it might be a little fun!

Boy or girl?

I will be having my gender scan in 4 weeks 🥰

I’ve wanted a girl all my life and now I’m having one I’m struggling so bad to find a name!

I always loved Bella, but my sister called her daughter Isabella and I think it’s too close…

I’m English and my partner is German so I’m looking at names from both cultures. Our list so far is…

Leni
Ella
Lilli
Lyra
Keira

I don’t absolutely love any of them any thoughts and suggestions would be very welcome!! 💕

When did you shave after having a C-section?

Strong pain on lower side belly

Hello ladies, I am 25 weeks tomorrow and just experienced a couple sharp moments of pain on my right side, right under my belly, roughly where you get period pains (i can only describe them as contraption-like even if I don't know what a contraption feels like).

It lasted a few second twice then went away. Laying down now and it's gone.

I have had period-like mild cramping across lower belly all morning, but i know thats nothing to worry about, just worth mentioning.

Any of you had this? Could it be braxton or ligament? Halp

Labour and post birth visitors

I see a lot of people saying they don’t want anyone knowing when they are in labour and don’t want any visitors after. Just wondering what the general thoughts are on this? What are people’s reasons for wanting/not wanting this.

I’m a first time mum and thinking I want my friends and family around me straight away (if they want to) is there some sort of negative to this?

Lazy?

When do you mammas have time to workout? Just at home?
I have a dog which I walk in the mornings when hot (walk at lunch if not) so up at 6am, Little one is up 7/7:30, preschool at 9, pick up at 4, working in between these hours. Then dinner and bed for 7pm ish. I’m struggling to find time to squeeze a workout in or am I being lazy and just need to be up earlier??
