Postpartum nightmares

I had dreams that I was dropping my baby and all kind of scenarios were essential my baby would end up dead or badly injured I would wake up in tears, also had what I can only refer to as hallucinations due to sleep deprivation. It passes 🙃😂

@Marine reading this comment makes me feel so happy that I’m not alone in this x

I only had my first dream (at least that I can remember when I wake) last week. I think I wasn't sleeping long enough to dream properly. My MIL has had more bad dreams about something happening to my LG than me since she's been born!

I have dreams that iv fell asleep with the baby in bed (never have done and don't co-sleep). I literally search the bed looking for him, checking my pillows thinking it's his sleeping bag. Then I must wake up more and realise he is in his next to me and fine. Good job my partner is a heavy sleeper as iv felt him before thinking its the baby etc. Happens most nights but eased a little recently I'm 7 weeks pp today x

Yes, I seem to be dreaming more now than ever!

Me too, wake up crying, my LO is often in the dream but not usually the centre of the scary bits. When I wake up though I just want to hold her immediately.

I’m 9 weeks PP today and all my dreams consist of forgetting the baby, misplacing the baby ( like at a family meal thinking one of my family members had her), leaving her at my in laws and they just disappear with her, and the newest: stuck in the alps on New Year’s Eve having misplaced baby formula and once I found that, I misplace the bottles 🫠
