Why do pregnant women often dream at night?

Many pregnant mothers have this habit and dream a lot. In fact, if pregnant mothers have more dreams during pregnancy, they must learn to relax themselves. Many times, pregnant mothers dream a lot, which is related to their mood on the one hand and the progesterone secreted during pregnancy on the other hand. In fact, pregnant mothers don’t have to worry about having a lot of dreams. Below I will analyze the six common dreams that pregnant mothers have.

The six most common dreams for pregnant mothers

1. Dreaming about animals

According to clinical statistics, dreaming about animals is the most common thing for expectant mothers. Of course, some of these animals are cute, such as big white rabbits and little cats, and some are scary, such as dinosaurs, crocodiles, and wolves. At present, many people interpret dreams to predict the gender of a baby based on the personality traits of animals in the dream. However, there is no definite scientific evidence to support this statement.

But what expectant mothers can judge is that based on the state of the animals in the dreams, are they cute and peaceful? Or violent and bloody? They can infer the amount of stress the expectant mothers are experiencing now and in the future. The greater the stress, the more terrifying the dreams.

2. Dreaming about children

Some pregnant mothers even dreamed of their children dying and woke up worried. In fact, dreaming about a child’s death is mostly due to the pregnant mothers’ deep love and worry. Because children have become the most important thing for expectant mothers, if you talk about or think about children during the day, the probability of children appearing in your dreams is very high.

3. Occasionally have erotic dreams

Some dreams make expectant mothers too embarrassed to talk about them. In fact, everyone has physiological needs, and expectant mothers are no exception, especially in the first three months and last three months of pregnancy when there is almost no sex life. Sexual repression naturally enters dreams. In addition, the accumulation of estrogen can also cause expectant mothers to become abnormally sensitive!

4. The nightmare of being chased

I often dream of being chased by someone but I just can't run. This is mostly due to the expectant mother's feet being tired or the wrong sleeping posture. If the mother keeps running wildly, it means that she is not clear about her future life and is eager to find an outlet to vent her emotions. To deal with this dream, expectant mothers can soak their feet in hot water for 10 minutes before going to bed, or ask their husbands to help massage their calves and the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of their feet.

5. Dreaming of bloody scenes

Sometimes pregnant mothers dream of very bloody scenes. Some are about yourself, and some are about others. This is actually caused by the fear of childbirth, because expectant mothers more or less know that bleeding is an inevitable phenomenon in giving birth to a baby, whether it is a normal birth or a natural birth.

6. Dreaming about losing teeth or paralysis

This kind of dream is mostly caused by the physical changes of the expectant mother. As the pelvis of expectant mothers becomes larger and the fetus requires a large amount of calcium, expectant mothers are prone to osteoporosis, and real feelings such as lower back pain may appear in dreams. Expectant mothers don't need to worry too much.

Many pregnant mothers' dreams are related to their own physical changes. Therefore, pregnant mothers must pay attention to nutritional supplements. The most important thing to note is to relax themselves. If the mood is in a highly tense state for a long time, it can easily cause a series of complications. It is of no benefit to children or adults.
