Throughout my whole life, I have always been a very vivid dreamer; sometimes to the point where I wake up very confused, angry, sad, or happy because of the emotions I experienced in a particular dream. Take that and multiple times a thousand and you'll get the idea of what my dreaming is like when I am pregnant!
Last night I had a dream that I was in the hospital and they had given me a spinal epidural and were getting ready to perform the c-section. I felt my entire body go numb from the chest down and everything. I remember asking for Paul to be able to come into the room and while I was laying on the operating table waiting, I felt a huge gush and my water broke. It all felt SO real. I literally woke up in a panic thinking that my water broke.
Luckily, it didn't actually happen. I had a couple 'stronger than usual' contractions last night and counted about 5 in 35 minutes so I think I had baby and labor on the brain more so than usual when I was falling asleep. In fact, I took an extra dose of my procardia to calm down the contractions. After a good night sleep, they seem a lot better this morning. Paul was about ready to make me go to the ER last night. I will be taking it easy today! I have a check-up with my regular OB tomorrow morning. More to come.....!
