Strangest dream yet

"I had another pregnancy dream last night. I think I have had more since the last time I wrote of my dreams but this one was weird and memorable.

This dream seemed really long, but I am having difficulty remembering all of the little details. However, this is the basic story line:

I am in my bedroom (which is also a bit like a hospital room) and about to go into labor. My mom is there and I think maybe some doctors who are more blurs than anything. There is no pain in this dream, but it is a very hard labor.

I look to my left and there is one of my male cousins also giving birth. He is not having as difficult time as I am (and I’m totally perplexed by this since even in my dream I know it’s impossible for a male to give birth).

My baby is stuck in the birthing canal so the doctors had to do an episiotomy, twice. I wasn’t too thrilled with this either, especially since I then looked over to see my cousin give birth to a baby boy---easily!

I finally birth my baby and am told it’s a boy. “Are you sure?” I ask a little upset since apparently I knew I was having a girl (don’t know if this was intuition or ultrasound knowledge—and no, in real life we do not know) And also since the baby came out wearing a diaper I wondered how the doctors were able to tell the baby’s gender. I checked for myself and sure enough it was a little boy.

I woke up feeling completely confused and really out of it. I spent the rest of my early morning hours thinking about this dream and dreaming about this dream to make sure I could remember it all. It was just so bizarre!"--Clare
