Pregnant women always have nightmares about boys

Most pregnant women have problems with sleep quality. Either they can't sleep well, or they wake up from nightmares at night, which leads to irregular sleep and poor spirits during the day, which is not good for the baby in the long run. Some pregnant women always have nightmares about having a boy. What is the reason for this? Does this foreshadow anything? Let the editor take you to learn about it.

If a pregnant woman keeps having nightmares, is it a boy?

1. Waking up from a nightmare and dreaming of a boy: Some pregnant mothers even dreamed of their children dying, and they were sad when they woke up. In fact, most of the dreams about children dying are due to the pregnant mothers' deep love and worry. Because children have become the most important thing for pregnant mothers, if they mention or think about children during the day, the probability of having children in their dreams is very high.

2. Estrogen increases the chance of dreaming: Dreams during pregnancy are often different from usual dreams, which is generally related to changes in the sleep of expectant mothers. After entering the first few months of pregnancy, under the influence of estrogen and other factors, most pregnant women are basically in a light sleep state. Not only will the probability of dreaming increase, but they are also more likely to be awakened by fright.

3. Because humans are in a state of light sleep, although the body is in a state of complete rest, the mind is in a tense state. Even a little stimulation during the day may cause abnormal activity in the cerebral cortex of expectant mothers, causing them to dream more and more realistically and terrifyingly. What pregnant fathers can do is to give expectant mothers a hug when they wake up in the middle of the night and accompany them through the long night.

How to improve the sleep of pregnant women

1. Take a shower or wash your feet with warm water. The temperature should be controlled at 35~38℃ and the time should be about 20 minutes.

2. Drinking milk before going to bed can also help you sleep, but be sure to drink it two hours in advance. But avoid eating high-sugar and high-calorie drinks including honey, fruit juice, spices, melanin, etc., and avoid high-salt foods and alcohol.

3. Psychological counseling: If you have psychological problems or work pressure, immediately seek help from a psychologist to adjust your mood and relieve anxiety and depression during pregnancy.
