After suffering "stress and anxiety" while trying for a baby, Aled Edwards and his wife Sophie were delighted when they found out she was pregnant.
But, from the first night after getting the good news, Aled was struck by "crippling nightmares".
On one occasion, he dreamt he had been fatally wounded while fighting off intruders in his home, dying as he crawled upstairs to tell his family the coast was clear.
Otherwise, Aled was enjoying the idea of being a father, so he put it down to normal first-time dad nerves, oblivious to the mental health struggles he was yet to face.
