Strange dreams are made of these...

Since being pregnant my dreams are, as you might expect, mainly baby related. They vary from odd to damn scary! For instance here are a few examples:

The Cactus Dream
The other week after the East Surrey Hospital Tour I dreamt I was giving birth to a cactus. I remember looking down between my legs to see a cactus, beautifully green with sharp needles pointing out in every direction.
My Synopsis: Pretty obvious really – I am worried about the pain!!!!!

The Ice Cream Dilemma Dream:
So for some reason I was in a Petrol Station Garage shop desperately seeking Ben & Jerrys Cookie Dough Ice Cream. I can remember how anxious I was to find some and how upset I was as I peered into the freezer to find they had run out! Serious stuff I hear you say... I then dealt with my despair by eating as much chocolate I could find as possible. I wasn't happy about the substitute though...
My Synopsis: I am eating too much... erm... and food is taking the place of sex!

The Breast Feeding Dream:
I was in our house but it was larger (oh if only!) and I had been asleep for two days after having a Cesarean. Upon wakening I found that Matt and his dad had given 'Bob' SMA carton milk instead of waking me up to breast feed. I inconsolably cried my eyes out!
My Synopsis: Again pretty obvious - I am anxious about whether my baby will breast feed and hope that it isn't out of my control!

So - is it normal for friends to have anxiety dreams about the birth?... I woke up this morning and had to rush to my phone as I thought Bob had been born and I'd slept right through it!!!!! :)
