Blimey, am traumatised. Had the most horrible nightmare last night about the birth - was in hospital, couldn't get hold of DH but his PARENTS turned up and were very put out when I asked them to leave, the nurse in my room was smoking and looked really pissed off when I asked her to put it out... THen I decided to go for a walk and the next thing I knew I was several miles away from the hospital bent over double because of contractions... had to beg a shop owner to drive me back to hospital - then there were about fifteen people in my delivery suite all talking to each other as I was trying to have the baby, and once it was born, it was whipped away and I was screaming for them to give it back... Oh, and it was a girl. WHich was kind of strange (3 scans have said 'boy'). Had to take a few deep breaths this morning...
And there I was thinking I was pretty relaxed about the whole thing...
Funnily enough, the actual giving birth bit wasn't too troubling in my dream. So I guess that's something... All I have to do is make sure DH carries a walkie-talkie with him at all times, cigarettes are confiscated on the door and a bouncer is placed outside the delivery suite to keep intruders out!
