IF THE NIGHTMARES REFER TO YOUR BABIES, I WOULD SAY YOU ARE JUST ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR BABIES.  IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE, WRITE DOWN YOUR NIGHTMARES AND TRY TO WORK OUT WHAT THEY MEAN.  OFTEN WE DREAM ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE WORRYING US OR RELATE TO WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE DAY.  IF YOUR BABIES ARE HEALTHY AND SLEEP GOOD, THEN THE NIGHTMARES SHOULD SUBSIDE.  CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR OR HEALTH SISTER JUST IN CASE YOU HAVE POST NATAL DEPRESSION AS THIS CAN MANIFEST IN THE FORM OF NIGHTMARES TOO.

Beyond the usual psychological reasons behind why we experience nightmares....

Nightmares and overly-vivid dreams like that can be caused by chemical changes in the brain. Medications, pregnancy, hormonal treatments, thyroid problems, or any other hormonal change, extreme change of diet, quitting smoking or going off drugs/medications that you've been on for a while, anything that can potentially change your brain chemistry can create that sort of effect in some people. Fortunately it usually doesn't last too terribly long. If it gets a bit much for you and you can't figure out a cause, it wouldn't hurt to talk to a doctor about it.

Has any think been on your mind that you cant stop thinking about?? or a stress ful event coming up or going back to work ?? thats when I have a bad dream I use to get bad dreams from watching those csi shows to much we need more comedies on the box. I also use to wake up in a sweat when pregant but still got a few while breast feeding hormones maybe. I am on the marina and get pregant tests just to make sure it is working.
