Had the worst VBAC dream ever!

Sooooooo glad that was a dream. Although it was very vivid and seemed real so when I woke up I was a little confused for a bit.

Basically, in my dream for some reason I was in the hospital, not sure if it was baby-related or not. One day I woke up and was introduced to my baby. The doctors had put me under GA and c-sectioned me without my permission or even talking to my family. The crazy thing was, in the dream I was 32 weeks (which I will be on Thursday) so it didn't even make medical sense. Also, the doctor who made the decision was not my own, nor did he consult my OB. Most of the dream consisted of me trying to figure out WHY it happened and beginning the process of researching my legal options. It was that crazy.

Oddly enough, the baby was absolutely fine, needed no NICU time and had no breastfeeding issues even though she (was a girl in the dream) was 5-8 weeks premature.

I think this is my mind's way of helping me work through feelings of anxiety as I get further along. At least I hope so, lol

I was going to say, before I read your last sentence, that it seems like your unconscious is trying to deal with your anxieties and apprehension. I'm sure all will be well mama and good luck on your VBAC

The mind is very strange. And anxiety has some interesting ways of manifesting itself.   I had many, many dreams where I birthed cats and catepillars.  Then I would forget to feed them or I would leave them in taxi cabs.

I hope you sleep well tonight.
