Freaky!!!! I had a dream last night about having a baby girl called Eden! Well she wasn't named Eden in the dream, it was when i woke up in the morning that I knew that was what her name was supposed to be. Its not a name I would have chosen either.
I planned on having a VBA3C, but after a lot of thinking yesterday I wondered if it would be better to go for an elective section. I am very pro natural birth, so it's not like me to have those sort of thoughts.
In the dream I went into labour, and went to the hospital. I was supposed to go as soon as I went into labour and have a sort of elective-emergency c/s. But when i got there there was an emergency in the theatre, so I had to wait. The midwife said she'd get the on-call anaestheist to give me an epidural so I'd be ready to go into theatre when they were finished. But I said no, I was fine, I'd just wait till I got into the theatre. I just stayed in the room, kneeling on the floor, coping fine with the contractions.
Then I decided to go to the toilet, where my waters broke and then suddenly I was ready to push my baby out. I managed to get back to the room and they tried to get me on the bed, but I went back to my little corner on the floor, where my DP was sitting.
It was a bit distressing there, because the midwife kept trying to do things and I was trying to keep her hands away from me. I was paranoid she was about to jab me any moment with the injection they can give you to deliver the placenta. I got the baby out and she was then freaking out because she couldn't get at the baby with her cord clamps and stuff. But everything went fine. And when I woke up I felt more confused than ever! Am I supposed to have an elective section or a hospital birth? Or go with the original home birth plan? I will have to wait and see if I have any more dreams.
