bizarre baby dream

[*heavenstobetsy*]

i've been having similiar dreams the past few nights. in them, i'm always aware that i'm dreaming, but the dreams are just so WIERD.

a bit of background first. i am (unexpectedly) expecting #4.

in my dream, i dream that i am not close to 7 weeks as i believed, but more like 34 weeks (a term pregnancy is 40 weeks) and that i suddenly go into labor and have a baby boy. the nurse was a lady i used to work with (her name was susan) at a different hospital (she's not a baby nurse, but she *is* a nurse). anyway, i don't really know how i knew that i was 34 weeks in that dream, but when i asked the doctor how far along i was (how early the baby was), he said he didn't know. i got very upset and said "but my ultrasound was supposed to be monday!! now we'll never know when i was supposed to have this baby!" the doc took the baby and said "well, normally we'd send 34 weekers home in a day or two <this isn't the case, typically babies stay a couple of weeks in the NICU when they are born early>, but since it's a friday, i will just sew his lips together and keep him for the weekend, then he can go home." they asked me if i wanted to breast or formula feed, and i said i wanted to breastfeed. they told me it was too early for him to actually nurse, and that they'd need to tube feed him, so asked me to pump. when i did, i got not the 1 ounce i was expecting, but like 30 ounces all at once.

it was just so so so wierd. i'm not sure if it means anything, or if it's just bizzare pregnancy hormones, but i figured i'd ask.

just focus on the idea of something being too early, but not mattering a lot. the idea of sewing lips together is interesting. it could be about not being heard. losing your involvment is also part of an early childbirth, the kid gets stuck in intensive care, or in this case kept the weekend. so maybe you feel like you are separated from something you would want to be involved in and you cant say anything about it.

maybe pumping a ton of breastmilk is about you showing how eager you are to be part of something.

Hi,
Perhaps your background information: "i am (unexpectedly) expecting" has some relevance to your dreams!

The hormone changes are great in the early days of pregnancy and often cause morning sickness. The brests also become tender and it is reflected in your dream.
Perhaps you also have some finacial considerations? All inall, it is a normal dream in the circumstances and does not mean more than it says! You got it right!
