While you probably know the physical changes to expect (and how to find relief from your strangest symptoms), your pregnancy dreams can take you to a weird place at night, where giving birth to kittens and fighting off aliens is just the start. Find out what other kooky scenarios a pregnant mama’s mind can cook up as these WTE members share their craziest dreams.

 

 

“I dreamed I was put to sleep to deliver my baby, and when I woke up the doctor said there was something wrong with my blood. Then, I saw a nurse bring over a bundled-up blanket, and when she handed it to me there was a kitten inside.”

Paperboy

“When I was pregnant with my son Connor, I dreamed he was a newspaper. I could fold him up and stow him away while we were out and about. One day, my baby newspaper was stolen — it was horrible. I also dreamt that my husband was a red bell pepper. I was chasing him down a pier with a cheese grater. All I wanted to do was grate him down for my tacos.”

Have a Cow

“I had a dream that I gave birth to a baby cow. The doctor said, ‘It’s a girl’ and then my baby went, ‘Moo.’ I held her and was so proud of my baby. It felt so natural that I had a cow.”

A-list Arrivals

“I've dreamt that I was in the hospital with preeclampsia and Jada Pinkett Smith came with all of her kids to visit me. Her kids kept following me into the bathroom. In another dream, I was a detective with my college roommate. We were homicide detectives chasing down a lady who killed her assistant with a golf club!”
