Nightmares

I cant sleep because of nightmares. They are like horror films. I wake up shaking and crying and then I cant.go back to sleep. I know when youre pregnant you can have weird dreams and stuff but I never had nightmares this bad or graphic. With my first I had a lot of dreams where I lost my baby or brought home a kitten but not horror dreams. Anyone experience this? What did you do?

I'm in the same boat! :/ Having bad dreams is not fun at all! It makes me not want to go to sleep. But then again I always think nightmares are just bad dreams. In my dreams I always find a way to overcome the bad :) So I guess thats a plus haha. Except for this one dream I had. I woke up crying because a big nasty tarantula tried to get me :( Not good at all!!!

I don't ever wanna sleep alone if my fiance isnt home I get my son and bring him in bed with me. I hate it but idk what else to do. Its just so hard to go back to sleep without being in the same room as someone

I had bad nightmares too and they felt so real. I would wake up crying and shaking scared to go back to sleep. Sometimes my partner would wake me up cause i was crying in my sleep. Unfortunately i didnt find a way to stop them but i havent had one for a few months now and im 38+ 6. I guess you just have to let then run their course.. They do stop eventually.
