33 weeks pregnant: Disturbing dream about labor and delivery

Last night was one of those nights.  

You know the kind I’m talking about, you know, the kind where you try really, really hard to fall asleep and you just can’t.  

Or you continuously toss and turn.  

Or you wake up in the middle of the night because you swear you hear someone just open the back door, even though the alarm did not make a noise.  

Or you remember your friend telling you a story about that ghost she once saw that was dressed in all black and you expect to see the very same thing each time you open your eyes.

You know the kind of night I’m talking about.

That was how my night went and it was no fun.  And on top of it I had a slightly disturbing pregnancy dream that had me up before it could end in a good way.  

In my dream I was in labor.  It wasn’t bad at all.  Pretty simply actually.  Then all of a sudden when I started to push the baby’s heart rate started to drop.  This worried my OB so she decided to do an emergency C-section to make sure that everything was okay with the little babe.  

Someone wheeled me into another room where the C-section would take place, but then everything was delayed.  No one started to do anything.  I was just laying on the table waiting for something to happen, or someone to tell me that they were going to start soon… but nothing.

I was so worried about my baby’s heart rate and no one could tell me what was going on.  My OB kept making up excuses as to why she hadn’t started the procedure.  The worst part was that I felt completely helpless and couldn’t understand why people weren’t helping me.

There was a girl in the bed next to me who came in after I did, but was finished almost immediately with her C-section.  I was really irritated in my dream and when I woke up I just felt like I’d have an off day today.  Yuck.

Let’s just all keep our fingers (and toes) crossed that my labor and delivery all goes smoothly and that I never feel neglected by anyone that should be helping me out.
