Are nightmares normal?
By Classic1 on 25 Dec 2010
Hello everyone, For all who have gone thru the process & for those heading into it; have you experienced nightmares? I have them all the time: mistakes the doctor might make, improper healing? And the closer it gets, the more nervous I get & the more real the nightmares are? Is this normal?

Many women active on RealSelf experience anxiety before their surgery. Sifting through a few mommy makeover reviews will prove that. And nightmares are a normal extension of anxiety. Just your subconscious working through your worries.
Here's what one doctor has to say about a Cleveland woman with extreme anxiety.
I hope you're able to come some sort of peace with your decision before the big day. Keep interacting with the women in the mommy makeover/tummy tuck communities! We're thinking about you!
It's absolutely normal. :) Anything you have on your mind, especially a traumatic event like an upcoming surgery, can give you nightmares. Don't let it psyche you out; it's just your brain's way of dealing with the stress.
If it continues you can try relaxation techniques before you go to bed ("calm blue ocean," that sort of thing), so you have happy thoughts at the front of your mind when you fall asleep. :)
All of this is normal. It's like having crazy dreams when you're pregnant.
