Has anyone had any strange or scary dreams after their baby was born?

My baby is 5 months old so my pregnancy hormones have definitely gone away. But all through my pregnancy I kept having scary dreams. Now I still have scary dreams, many of which have to do with dolls coming to life and attacking.

If you think that my child is somehow aweful and is causing these dreams, I can't see how since she is such a wonderful child and hardly ever cries.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    i'm glad i'm not the only one. i had nothing but nightmares the first week after coming home from the hospital. they were vivid and terribly creepy. it's stopped since then but i was really worried it meant i wasn't going to love my daughter because of it or something. i'm glad they finally stopped.

    Yes, my baby is a week old and ever since we brought her home I have had weird, vivid dreams. I think it has more to do with the sleep deprivation and the fact that I only ever get to sleep for up to 3 hours at a time, though.

    I have had horrible nightmares since having my baby & they all involve something terrible happening to my baby. 9 out of 10 are my baby being dropped.

    I worked with a girl whose sisters baby was dropped & died when it was 5 months old. I think that is the root of the dreams.

    as a individual who has a dream virtually each and every night time and they're approximately as absurd as yours...i will sympathize :/ i doubt you ought to fear if it's going to come precise or now not regardless that :p however having a dream approximately loved ones participants being threatened or truthfully killed, and being certain your self is fairly traditional so do not fear approximately it :)
