I think my mother is psychic.

4 years and 9 or so months ago, my mum came to me, told me she had had this dream of a small boy with curly hair who said he was my son and we had called him Wayne Jr. after his dad, he was sad about it, wanted to be called something else, my mum asked him what he wanted to be called and he asked for the name Lucas. She told me this almost a week or so before I found out I was pregnant and I laughed thinking there wasn't a chance that I could be, and that any son I had would be Harry. Found out I was pregnant, found out it was a boy, we laughed and named him Lucas. When he was around 2, my mum looked at him one day and said he was the spit of the boy who visited her dreams.

So, a week ago, on Saturday, my mum messaged me to say she had had a dream I was going to tell her I was 3 weeks pregnant, of course, no one really knows properly at that point, but because I had suffered a miscarriage at the beginning of April, she requested not to be told, so I've had to swear to secrecy that I will not tell her until the 12 week scan. I took a test that day, just in case and another 3 days later, both I thought to be negative.

Oddly enough, yesterday, on my son's 4th Birthday, I got told my breasts had grown multiple times (by family on the front garden dropping off presents), I realised I was supposed to be due on the day before, ran upstairs, took a test and here we go... 4 weeks pregnant! (Let's hope this one sticks!!)

Later, I took the 2 I'd done earlier on in the week out of the bin to double check I hadn't misread, and low and behold, both positive! (Turns out the tests are 5 minutes, not 2, that'll teach me to read!) So the night my mum had her dream, I technically would have been around 3 weeks!

Here is to hoping that my mum's weird psychic dreams means this one will stick around like Lucas did

Congratulations I hope all goes well.

I'm shocked people told you multiple times yours breasts had grown? What???

FrodoTheDodo · 01/06/2020 09:55

Your family comment on your breasts?

RosieJess91 · 01/06/2020 09:56

They're all family that just come out and say things, very open. (Not males, all females, like my mum telling me to put them away, even though I was wearing a normal t-shirt, they just looked huge! And my step daughter asking me where they'd come from... little comments like that!)
Thank you! 😊

Sorry op but it’s not psychic powers your mam has, it’s an overactive imagination and common sense.

She’s your mum, she’ll pick up on things such as boobs getting bigger. You’ve miscarried before (sadly) so she’ll be aware you would of liked another child.

It’s all guesses and hunches, I’m sure your Mam is lovely, but dreams can be very vivid and a reflection on what you want. If your mam knows you miscarries then that’s obviously on her mind and it’s normal for her to dream about you having a baby as it’s in her subconscious....

Congrats op!!

RosieJess91 · 01/06/2020 10:02

You say that, but she hasn't seen me, we've been in lockdown. And she didn't see me in the 2 weeks leading up to finding out I was pregnant with Lucas.

And besides, I'm just saying it's a weird coincidence! I'm just happy and it's a weird story behind it all!

I love this! Glad Lucas got to have the name he wanted.
How will you manage not to tell your mum for another 8 weeks? I’d be bursting to tell her!

RosieJess91 · 01/06/2020 10:05

@Smellbellina Luckily we're locked down, so that'll make it easier! But it will be hard, she was always one of the first people to know both times previously.

I'm not very woo but I think you might be right.

The day I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, my mother rang me from her foreign holiday because she had dreamed that I was upset and in a difficult situation and wanted to know if I was ok. I lied and said everything was fine, but actually I'd found out that morning I was pregnant and the baby's father had immediately told me to have an abortion and then walked out. I was living a really chaotic lifestyle at the time and getting pregnant was not on my agenda at all. I also hadn't seen my mum for about 3 months in the lead up to this. So... You tell me!

My mom knew my wife was pregnant, it was weird. Went round to see her one day and she just said, are you both expecting! Was bizarre but she must have seen a glint in my eye or something

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 01/06/2020 10:19

Could you suggests your mother concentrates on dreaming about winning lottery numbers? I believe eating cheese before she goes to bed may help. (although not scientifically proven) Grin

RosieJess91 · 01/06/2020 10:27

@WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat that is not a bad shout! I'll have a word with her 😂

I love stuff like this! My mum read her angel cards a few years ago before I had a mc. The cards showed a pregnancy but not a baby.

Mermaidlagoon · 02/06/2020 19:38

Mother's intuition 😊 Me and my mum can go weeks without seeing each other and then have the same dream, or have the same thoughts or ideas! She was looking at a dog on a rescue site and that night I dreamt about a dog in her house that was the same breed and colour, we didn't realise until a few days later. I'm very early in my pregnancy now and when I last spoke to her she said now would be a good time to have a baby while work is quiet due to coronavirus (I must have been pregnant/during the fertilising phase at the time and didn't even know myself) I'm not telling her until 3 months but I won't be surprised if she already knows.

MerryDeath · 02/06/2020 19:54

can't believe your mum didn't want to know in case you miscarried. how unsupportive is that!! it's not something to be ashamed of or for you to carry alone Sad

anyway. congratulations OP.

LosingtheTTCplot · 02/06/2020 20:08

I have psychic dreams. I dreamt my dad had fallen down behind his house (10ft drop) and hurt his back. Woke up all panicking. 3 weeks later he did just that!

I did have a dream last night that I had a scan and had a healthy baby growing. Woke up feeling elated and upset. fingers crossed that one turns out to be true as just had a miscarriage xx

Congrats OP

Nixen · 02/06/2020 20:11

One of my mums friends swears she is psychic and just after we had announced our pregnancy she saw my mum and guessed straight out... and then went oh and it’s boy. We had already done the harmony test and found out we were having a girl 😂

ElectricTonight · 02/06/2020 21:04

Aww that's was lovely to read OP, congratulations ♥️

BeMorePacific · 02/06/2020 22:58

A lovely coincidence. Congratulations on your pregnancy xx
