To Indulge My Inner Woo Over All These DC with "other Mummies" ?!

[MadameOvary]

Yes it's a TAAT, but I know I'm not the only one who's curious about all these stories about DC who talk about their "other Mummies"

Am I???

I have no idea why threads like these cause so many members to get really shitty. How arrogant must you be to stomp into a thread and decide most of the contributors have memory problems or are 'thickos' who want to believe in spirituality beyond what science currently determines is possible.

I have had no past life experiences or memories but if my son suddenly started talking about former mummies or past life events I'd be really interested and jot it down not tell him he was talking nonsense.

"Been here before" is just an expression to say that they look wise/know what they're doing. I doubt most people who use it think they really have. It's a bit like saying the baby has "read the text book"-no one thinks they really have.

I had imaginary friends when I was about 3. It wasn't because I was psychic ahd could see spirits. It was just my active imagination. It's parents who add meanings to children's imaginations. We are always looking for patterns and explanations for things.

I agree DeWee, it's like when people say a baby has an old soul's eyes or whatever. Basically they're just saying 'nice eyes'. Nothing unprofessional about the midwife at all.

DD used to come out with things like "my other mummy didn't drive this way to preschool" or "my other mummy had shiny clips in her hair". We eventually worked out that she was using that phrase as a way of expressing past tense, i.e. it was the same mummy (me) but on a different day (i.e. not right now). In her 2 year-old head, that seemed to make sense as a way of expressing it.

I don't know about other mummies as no child I know has ever talked about it but my ds freaked me out when I conceived my daughter. We'd been trying for a while to conceive and the month before blood tests had shown I hadn't ovulated so wasn't feeling hopeful. I was sat on the loo and ds came running in (he was 3) said "mummy you have a baby in your tummy" and ran out. I was a bit freaked out as ds as far as I knew had no idea that babies grew in mums tums but didn't think much of it until about a week and a half later when I took several a pregnancy test and it was positive. That's the most woo thing he'd ever done.

My DF was dying and he opened his eyes and said "you have a new job", l said no dad l still work in ..... he just smiled and closed his eyes. I had been for an interview the previous day but had told only DH about it as l didn't really care if l got it or not as l has more important things on my mind.
DF died about 3 hours later. I got home that night to find a message on my answerphone offering me the job.

It was a promotion and l am just glad that DF knew before he died (and before me )
