Intense dreams

Finding it difficult to sleep at night due to weird intense dreams? Don’t worry! Intense dreams in pregnancy are a fairly normal occurrence. This generally happens when the mum isn’t in deep sleep. Since pregnant mom’s need to urinate frequently at night, they find themselves constantly waking up. Also mums are uncomfortable due to their growing belly and are not allowed to sleep on their back which means that they are disturbed frequently thus leading to a unpleasant sleeping experience .
