I just saw monocytes "birth plan" post and remembered an annoying dream I had last night.
I was in the hospital with contractions and I guess I was in labor, but I wasn't really feeling much. I kept trying to relax and feel things progress, but to me it was like nothing was happening. So I asked the nurse/dr that was there if I could get up and go walking.
She hesitated and then said, "Oh, no......you can't go walking because you had an epidural."
Now I know in real life I wouldn't get one without having a clue, but this is dreamland I was in.
I was sooooooooooo p*ssed!!!!! I started yelling at the dr. asking her why she gave me an epi. I was wondering why I couldn't feel any contractions or anything. I was yelling at her that I had 4 deliveries with no epi and why the heck did she feel it necessary to give one to me this time at this stage. I was absolutely furious and just started crying so hard. I remember thinking that maybe I should have made it more prominent on my birth plan that I wanted to go with NO DRUGS as long as possible and being in disbelief that they would just administer it without even asking me about it....then I woke up.

Pregnancy can do some crazy things to your dreamland.
