Strange....
Saturday, November 04, 2006
Last night, I had a dream about having the baby...only it was in some strange hospital that I've never been to before and there were old people all over the place...lining the walls, sitting on the floor... the place was really busy and all these senior citizens were waiting for care. (Which didn't make a lick of sense, seeing as how it was the maternity ward!) I had to sit on the floor as well to wait my turn....and I was in labor, about to give birth! The actual birth part of the dream was very hazy and I can remember thinking "Why are we here? My midwife is going to wonder why I didn't call her." When the baby was born (it was a boy), he was snatched up by one of the nurses and taken to the nursery before I even saw him. But I was weak and halfway dazed....like I was on drugs or something. When they brought him back to us, I was already up and around and we were about to leave the hospital. I tried to nurse him while we were walking down the hallway by sticking him up under my coat and hoping he would latch on correctly. All he did was cry, and I couldn't get him latched on right. When we were outside, I sat down on a bench and took my coat off. I tried to nurse him again. He latched on, but he looked up at me with sort of an evil smirk and bit me HARD! Not only did he bite, but he pulled while he was biting. I then realized that he had a mouth full of teeth and he looked like he was a year old!
We went back into the hospital and told them that we thought they may have given us the wrong baby. I can't remember how the dream ended, but I sort of recall that it was NOT our baby, and we did end up exchanging him for the correct one.
Sheesh! Maybe I'm subconsciously worried about establishing a good nursing relationship or something. I'm not sure what the rest of it could mean (if it even means anything at all)

Yeah, that is pretty strange! Dreams seem so real sometimes...scary and stressful. I've had some dreams where I've had to ask my hubby if they really happened, they seemed so real to me.
That is a really great idea to set up your changing station in your laundry room. It sounds like a dream laundry room with how big it is. You should take before and after pics. That's what I'm going to do whenever we get our own place.
Happy Lord's Day!
Welcome to the world of Weird Pregnancy Dreams.
When I was pregnant the first time I dreamed that I gave birth to puppies.
During my third pregnancy I gave birth to a picture of a baby.
OH my gosh, one of my PG friends just had a really similar dream... not about the delivery part, but that her baby had a huge mouthful of teeth at birth and bit her. But started biting her all over her body. She also had to exchange him for the "correct" baby. Too funny... wonder if that is caused by some subconscious thought :)
Wow, it's difficult to get a good night's sleep with all that going on! I had the "recurring zipper dream" with both of my pregnancies that I could unzip a zipper in my abdomen and take the baby out and play with it. BUT, the baby always had a onesie on so I could never see if it was a boy or a girl. Neither baby cried, and they both had a full head of hair.
Both of my babies were born with a head of hair, and neither cried directly after birth. It was so odd! I had VERY vivid baby dreams, and only once did I dream about the gender of my babies; a week before Topher was born I dreamt that I was swimming with a naked infant boy.
