Strange conception stories?  

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Starting about 8 years ago, when single & dating, occasionally during sex I'd feel a girl-baby spirit hovering around. No, I'm not into seances or pschic phenomena, so it was definitely wierd. Anyhow, her presence was truly palpable- enough so I decided to tell her that no, it wasn't the right time and it wasn't the right man; she couldn't physically manifest in me at that time. I had the same conversation with her several times over the years.

Fast forward to last December, with my mate, S: I finally tell him that this girl-baby spirit is heavily making her presence felt to me, and that since he didn't want kids, we'd have to be VERY careful. This opened discussions that, over weeks, led to him realizing he DID want a child, and we both wanted a girl- so we planned to get pregnant in October (yes, this month).

February 14: I'm at a drugstore over lunch buying Valentine candy for my students. I hear a breathy whisper in my ear, "You're pregnant- g i r l......" I turn to see who's speaking to me; I'm alone in the aisle. I break a hot sweat and think, I'm due for my period in a couple of days...later at home, S and I take a hike. Overlooking a canyon, we stop and talk and I say that I'm not feeling my usual pre-menstrual symptoms. He closes his eyes to check in with himself, and says he's got butterflies in his stomach- a feeling of "YES." I'm feeling the same way but am in denial. After all, we'd used the same fertility awareness bc that had worked for me for 11 years without fail! I couldn't be pregnant!

We go home and talk about "what ifs." I straddle his lap and face him on the sofa while we talk. He places his hand on my belly, over my uterus, where I'm feeling -for lack of a better word- intense energy emanating, and as his hand touches my body I hear the SAME VOICE and it says, "She likes him!" I go dizzy.

Two days later we do a pregnancy test- positive- and I nearly faint in shock- I thought I was going crazy, hearing voices and all that!

After adjusting to the reality of being pregnant, we laugh about how OF COURSE she manifested in me! We'd actually planned on making her, visualized her, felt her energy, totally opened ourselves to her- after planning on spending the better part of the year preparing for her; and why would spirits have any true sense of time as we know it? We said, "we'll make her in October" and yes, it's October, and she's due in 12 days.

Anybody else have unusual conception experiences?

Apparently eroslovesagape, our children know more about when they should be born than we do! I'm only 19 so obviously I had NO intentions of getting pregnant anytime soon. I was taking birth control pills, I was very good about taking them too, I never missed any. On my boyfriend's 21st. birthday we "celebrated" and for some reason it felt different. I couldn't make sense of why it felt different, but it did. In early february (about 2 weeks later) I had an extremly vivid dream that had nothing but me 9 months pregnant. I woke up completly freaked out and felt my stomach to make sure it was still flat. I couldn't forget the dream so on valentines day I decided to go take a pregnancy test. I thought for sure I was just being crazy, I mean there was only a .1% chance I could have been pregnant. Well after about 10 min of pure disbelief I came to the conclusion that there were 2 very faint lines there. As soon as I accepted that i was in fact pregnant my next thought was that it was a girl. No idea why, just "OMG I'm pregnant with a little girl!" I went out and told my boyfriend and I brke down because I had no idea how I was going to raise a child so young. He was fantastic, just held me and told me that everything would be ok. He proposed a few days later and we got Married on the 22nd of February. I honestly think that this little girl decided to come to us because she knew we would never choose to have her at this point in our lives of our own free will but that it was in fact the perfect time to have her. I couldn't be happier with my life now expecting a little girl any day now. I am completly in love with my husband, I couldn't ask for a better father/husband/best friend. We share the same beliefs of raising children (UC, homeschool, natural living) I wouldn't have known that we were perfect for each other if it wasn't for this little girl. She has already made our lives so much better, I can't wait to be able to repay her by giving her all the love she will ever need.

Wow, ladies! I haven't had any such experience, but yours sound incredible. I just love it when the universe comes together for you. Enjoy your super babies, and you might be interested in a thread that was around a bit ago - a student was doing a survey on the fact that some babies remember their previous lives and can share bits of those lives if you provide a safe place for them to talk about them. Sounds as if your babes will be very much in tune with their experience!

yes...this pregnancy...I knew there was a baby waiting...the month before I had a chemical pregnancy...got pregnant on the full moon and immediately after lost it...I was so sad..but I felt the baby around me all that month.

So hubby is away a lot...my ovulation is due...I am practicing FAM...2 days later on the full moon my dh comes home for one night only...that night we concieved our little one.

A few days later...I think 4dpo I am driving back from the store and I get a feeling of a presence...I know immediately that I am pregnant...of course I don't test positive for a week or so later but I knew...I felt so at peace...and it was so real. I felt a male presence but I know that even though it may have been a male it may be a female in this life(I believe in past lives)

I felt it so strongly I wrote it down on my chart on FF. I should print it off and save it in the baby's baby book I guess.

This little baby definitely picked her conception day. Literally I just had the urge to attack my husband and I knew before we even got in the bedroom that I was going to get pregnant. We were actually planning to TTC 2 months later but there was no waiting. DH didn't even ask his usual, "Is it safe" question, lol. And I think this little girl spirit was hanging around since I was pregnant with Jakob actually. I was sure I was having a girl until we got an ultrasound, and I even bought this little doll (which I still have and will give to her when she's older) And once I had him all I could think about was having another baby, and I was obsessed thinking I was pregnant even though I didn't have AF until Jakob was 18 months.

i always have baby dreams.

Just before, and while, i was pregnant with Ryvre, they were very vague, just about holding a blond baby boy (which he turned out to be) in my arms. I was 17, and found this VERY scary, lol, but when i discovered i really was pregnant, i couldn't have been happier.

When i was pregnant with Willow, before we knew for sure she was a girl, i had a dream about a young woman who looked similar to me, but with dark hair. She showed me her past lives, and through whom i can only describe as her spirit guide (he seemed to be a Druid, who looked and acted very much like i suspect my husband would as a very old man), she taught me to talk to the trees. Sounds odd, but since my husband is actually a Druid, it's really not...anyway...when she was born, we took one look at her, and knew she was the girl from my dream--my young tree prophet, and so we named her Willow Sage. She even looked like me, but get this, she had dark hair

This baby has been a little harder to pin down. I still don't know exactly what to expect, but i do know i'm in for a challenge. About two months before conception, i dreamed of a faerie-being (yeah, i know that sounds SUPER weird!) who wanted to hitch a ride in my uterus. I welcomed her in, and immediately experienced a wonderful birth among her "people." They made me feel welcome as one of their own, and it was really an amazing experience, to really belong somewhere! Interesting...lol. Right around that time, my husband started to really push the idea of having a third child. I was not in favor. After a few weeks of thinking about it, i decided that maybe i DID want another baby, but by then i had already convinced my husband that it was a bad idea. Next thing i knew, i really started to feel pregnant, but i was afraid to take a test! i finally got up the courage to look at the calendar in the middle of February, and realized my period was two weeks late. I ran out, got a test, and sure enough! I do have a hitchhiker in there, lol!

i haven't had a whole lot of baby dreams since, though i have had some about giving birth or nursing with groups of women, and communal living. i don't ever get a good look at my little girl though, so i'm really curious what she'll be like.

My mom told me that i was concieved of during a 3 day Dylan, the Dead, and the Band concert and that it was Phil Lesh's (of the grateful dead) bass playing that impregnated her!


Oops! I didn't realize this was a due date club, sorry to butt in!
