oh yes... and as for the dreams.. the strange, weird and distressing.. my last most memorable one was of waking up in bed on my front lawn!.. I wondered how I had got there, whether anyone else was following this new trend, and where all my other 'things' were.. I searched beneath the bed where there were big puddles and in the depths of them were my pda (no not waterproof), house keys, and various other essential pieces of my life. - I think underpinning that one was the 'lost' and 'aloneness' of all this..

...but have had others where giving birth is involved (always tragically) and it can be really hard to shake off the feeling. My daughter within 24hrs of birth, had an apneoa attack and went blue, she was resuscitated and went on to recover from pneumonia, but some of my dreams replay this event.. this is probably all too depressing, and I am sorry and hope anyone that has read this has not taken it to heart too much.. but just trying to show how shocking dreams can be at this stressful time, when we're loaded with hormones and anxiously awaiting a deadline...

I do have some AF type cramping, and bloatedness from time to time, but I think the rest is down to the anxiety/progesterone (headaches, tiredness, muzzy feeling, strange taste in mouth).

Keep marching soldiers!!!!!!....
