Dreams that reflect the persistent thoughts of childbirth

In your head, along with thoughts of motherhood, there are always thoughts about the upcoming birth. Studies have shown that the third trimester is the time when many women see dreams in which they fall into a trap, or are in great danger, or neglect the child, forget about it. "I had nightmares during my second pregnancy, which coincided with the earthquake in San Francisco; They came before I had time to fall asleep really, recalls Becky. I imagined that I went shopping or a bank with my three-year old child and suddenly an earthquake began. The ground opened below me and I fell down. Somewhere in the darkness, debris falls on me, and then labor begins. I have seen this dream several times as I fall into the hole and give birth. I often wonder if that's why I called my daughter Alice "*.
There are also good dreams about light births. One woman dreamed that she was going to the supermarket for her child, and she woke up, wondering what it would mean.
Most experts believe that bad dreams of the so-called. Nightmares can be a mechanism for preparing for dangers and unknowns associated with childbirth, and for liability related to maternity. Indeed, after a difficult last trimester, birth may seem easier. Linda Rubin, an elementary school teacher, jokes: "I think so: the third trimester is needed so that the birth does not seem terrible."
