Did you dream of your babies before you were ever pg? - Page 2

[treespeak]

I love these stories. I didn't dream with my son before getting pregnant, but two weeks before we conceived him, I got a call from an acquaintance who had dreamed that I was pregnant, and she was wondering if it was true. I hadn't seen this woman for several years, so it really seemed out of nowhere. A few weeks later, after ovulating, I dreamed that I was looking at a large screen full of chromosomes that were splitting and recombining. In the dream I was counting the hours since conception to figure out how many cell divisions had taken place! Did I wake up and assume I was pregnant? Nooooope...I wrote the dream down in my journal and forgot about it until I missed my period and was looking back to figure out when we'd conceived! Still, it's cool to think that I got to glimpse my son during his first moments of life.

My dh dreamed of our daughter before she was born. I didn't even know that I was pregnant yet, but he did. In fact, he went out and bought me a card and showed me the date on the receipt as "evidence" that he had known before me.

I dream of babies all the time - for years. Now, I dream of them or being pregnant at least 3x a week. I don’t think my dreams foretell anything given I'm never pregnant. I think its just on my mind a lot so my unconscious mind use pregnancy and babies to send me other messages.

I've had baby and pregnancy dreams since I was a teenager. I had one last night, actually. It seems the more recent ones (in the last year) have been more realistic, because I not only dreamt of the baby, but dreamt of breastfeeding and close skin-to-skin contact/bonding. In the dream last night I was toting the baby around in some kind of wrap. Really wonderful dreams, but they make me yearn even more to be a mom.

Obviously none of them have come true yet. I usually dream about a baby girl (what I would prefer), but once or twice I dreamt about a baby boy.

I also should point out, that most of my pregnancy/baby dreams are in my 2ww. Its probably from a combination of hormones + wishful thinking.

My DS told me that he dreamt about his little brother. He doesn't have one. He's been talking about his baby brother for about a year now, he has named him Trevor, and he tells me that Trevor will be coming on a Friday, or that Trevor wants to share his room, things like that.

When I was pregnant with DS, I dreamt I was having a boy. Dreamt it twice actually. For some reason though, I always felt I was having a girl. Yet I dreamt about a boy. So maybe there's something to be said for dreams!

Ok, idk if this counts, but with my first pregnancy I simply knew I was pg with a boy and about a week before my mc, I had a dream that it was going to happen - it still devastated me. About a month or two after that, I had a dream that we had two little girls running around our then apartment. They were very close in age, and laughing and squealing because I think dh was chasing them around - and so I've just always known that we're going to have girls only - I just don't know WHEN. Yep, that's the part that would be nice to know.

Oh and with my most recent pregnancy (and mc) I knew I was pg almost from conception. And mc or healthy pregnancy I felt very peaceful about it all, like that's just what was suppose to happen. Naturally I would have liked a different outcome, but I'm oddly at peace with what did happen. Hard to explain.

when I was about to miscarry (although i didn't know it yet) I dreamed that I gave birth to a blonde haired brown eyed toddler boy. somehow in my dream I KNEW this toddler was 22 months. 22 months after my EDD month I had Caleb. and he's got blonde hair and brown eyes.

Last January I had a dream that I had a UC with a dark haired baby girl...we were TTA so I figured it was a fluke or a dream birth kind of dream...I remember thinking "well she was born in february...and it's january and i know i'm not pregnant!" but I did get a suprise bfp and am (likely) in labor now with a little girl!

I had just found out that I was pregnant (after Joey and one MC, but before Faith) and I had a dream that an angel was talking to me. The angel told me that this baby would be named April, after the month that she was born. I was confused, as the baby wasn't due until July. I realized then (or maybe the angel told me) that the baby was going to be very early and wouldn't live. I started crying and told the angel that I would rather miscarry than have a baby born and not live. The next day I started bleeding.

I truly believe, to this day, that the Lord very compassionately gave me a choice. And six months later I was pregnant with Faith.

I couldn't imagine that. Knowing me I would have argued with god(dess). It would devastate me because we have been trying so hard to get pg. I admire your strength!

Since I started this thread I suppose I should post about my two most recent dreams.
The first I can remember only that I had a baby boy.
The second (dreamed the next night) I was in labor at full term and my obgyn tells me some thing like "You need to sit up so we can get to him" or something like that. I remember thinking "HIM?!?!?" and being really happy and excited that I was indeed going to have the baby boy I have dreamed of.
What these dreams have done is to make me really anxious to have my other two babies (a boy then a girl) and have my family all together. I feel like it's not complete yet.
I'm excited and can't wait to see what's going to happen. I want to poas all the time whether it's even possible (that I'd be pregnant) or not. I bought some pg tests the other day just to help alleiviate my obsession.

It was around the end of my 1st trimester being pregnant and I had a dream that my husband and I were in our old apartment and we were either the adoptive or foster care parents of a boy who was around 3 years old with blondish brown hair. I introduced him to someone saying "he is not our real baby," and then pointed to the baby in my lap and said, "This is our real baby, Alyssa." The part about the boy doesn't make any sense. I don't know who he would be and we don't plan on taking care of a child that isn't ours.

I never had any ultrasounds because I was doing a home birth with a midwife, so I didn't know for certain what I was having, but I was pretty certain that I was having a girl. When I gave birth, my husband caught our baby and I said to him before I took a look, "Its a girl, isn't it?" and he looked and showed me and it was. The midwife asked if we had a name and we immediately said "Alyssa Coral." It was a good thing we had a girl, because we did not have any boy names picked out.

However, my husband would tell me that he always had dreams it was a boy. I think the next baby will be a boy.
