Is it normal to have weird dreams when pregnant?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—vivid, strange, or unsettling dreams are common during pregnancy. Changes in sleep and all the new feelings and worries can make dreams feel especially intense or easier to remember.

Pregnancy can disrupt your sleep, which may mean you wake up during or just after a dream and remember more of it. Stress, excitement, and the sheer number of changes you’re processing can also give your dreams some truly odd plotlines.

Lots of pregnant people report vivid or weird dreams, and having them doesn’t mean they’re a prediction or a sign that something is wrong. If they’re regularly keeping you from sleeping or causing a lot of distress, it’s okay to mention that to your healthcare provider.
