When pregnant, dreams often occur more often than before. Dreams also feel more real and are often constantly remembered.

Some psychologists say that pregnant dreams describe fears, interests, and worries about the physical and emotional changes that occur. Experts also believe that certain dream themes are common at each stage of pregnancy.

First Trismester Pregnancy

Psychologically, pregnant dreams in the early pregnancy or first trimester of pregnancy tend to have meaning in the form of self-awareness of changes in the body, as well as anxiety about giving birth and becoming a mother. Here are some dreams that usually occur in first trimester pregnant women.

• Dream of a garden, fruit or flower. This dream describes your fertile body.
• Dream of water, swimming or fish. As a symbol of the uterus collecting amniotic fluid.
• The dream of driving a vehicle means that you are entering a new stage of life. If you dream of difficulties when driving, that means in your subconscious you feel awkward with this change.
• The dream of giving birth to a child who is growing up, or even growing up. Many new mothers dream of giving birth in the first trimester of pregnancy. The meaning is that you are unconsciously anxious about labor and becoming a mother. You hope to be able to give birth easily and at the same time you still do not understand very well how the actual delivery process.

Second trimester pregnancy

In the second trimester pregnancy, the theme of your dreams begins to change. Usually, pregnant women in their mid-pregnancy periods are more focused on you, who have begun to be motherly, and at home.

• Dream of an animal. The animal or pet child symbolizes your baby who is still with you in the stomach. If the animals in your dreams are docile, that means you already have good maternal instincts. While the behavior of animals that are destructive, threatening, or annoying can mean you still feel strange with the presence of the Little One in your body. You are also worried whether your Little One's presence will ruin something in your life.
• The dream of a husband carrying lots of bags, or heavy bags. Bags can mean financial burden. If the husband carries a lot of bags or heavy bags, or you hand over your bag to your husband, it could mean that you expect your partner to bear the financial burden more responsibly as the Little One arrives.
• Dream of a husband with another woman. This nightmare expresses a feeling of insecurity in your relationship with your husband. This is natural because with a child, you expect your husband to be loyal, responsible, and give love and attention to you and your children later.
• Erotic dreams. In fact, this kind of erotic dream can be with your ex. Relax, this does not mean you still love your ex. Psychologically, dreaming about your ex means that you are worried about your physical appearance which is now in a two body. Do not be surprised, yes, if more and more days, erotic dreams can become more frequent.

Third Trismester Pregnancy

What, yes, is the dream theme that usually appears in the third trimester of pregnancy, especially before delivery?

• Dream of the baby's sex or your baby's name. It's only natural, Mother, because it's approaching the day of labor, your mind is preoccupied with searching for a baby's name and curious about his gender. So, that thought is carried away by dreams, deh!
• Dream of traveling or packing up. Psychologically, this dream symbolizes fear of something you don't know yet. You don't know exactly what labor feels like, so you might worry about it.

Whatever you dream of, try to get enough sleep and quality time. Dreams indicate an increase in brain activity during sleep, which is indeed natural, because in pregnancy, of course you will think of many things.
