Has anyone else experienced reoccurring nightmares of pregnancy loss?

Im 17 weeks and for the past 3 nights, I keep having different nightmares of losing my baby. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm letting myself get too stressed during the day? My mental health feels fine.

I read in What to Expect when you’re expecting that it’s normal to have these type of nightmares while peganant. It’s how our brain processes our anxiety while we sleep. So although it’s terrible to have those dreams it’s actually normal

It’s true during pregnancy you have wild dreams especially in the 2nd trimester. But dreams are still very spiritual. I would personally pray over the pregnancy as it could be a warning from God. But if you don’t believe in God or you’re not spiritual, most people will think it’s just a pregnancy dream. To each his own.

I didn’t have this, even with my rainbow baby. I would talk to your OB about perinatal anxiety

I could totally see this happening to me. especially after Ive experienced two losses. I always assumed I had perfect mental health but I started therapy last year and it opened my eyes to a lot of trauma I deal with. I would work hard to shift your focus while you’re awake to visualize a healthy baby and to acknowledge that any doubts you have are just judgements and not facts.

I didn't have this so can't help but the only times I got really worried when pregnant is when I was reading a lot about pregnancy and etc. I found I was better just knowing the key things and then trying to distract myself and trying to enjoy my day to day and look after myself. Hope it settles down for you. It sounds awful ❤️
