What would you make of this?

Hi All,


Thanks Cookiemonster for suggesting I post this in here it does make more sense too afterall funny I never ventured into this section before and its right up my alley

I have this posted else where too so a bit of a double up.


I should mention that we are not TTC at the moment but I am taking pre conception things to prepare for the TTC journey in the New Year and are very strict about DTD with protection - just in case

Ok so here goes, a small section may be TMI:

A couple of weeks ago I have this very strong dream that I was pregnant full term and was in labour. I gave birth to a baby boy and then the dream skipped forward to bringing him home. In the dream we are at home and I can hear him crying and its morning so I am sleeping in my bed. I remember waking up in my dream and I literally wake up in real life at the same time. Of course realising I was only dreaming I didn't have a crying baby to attend to however it took a good moment to fully wake and know this .... the dream was so strong I swear I was there.

THEN

Thursday night hubby and I were watching a movie and I get this wiff of baby powder I say to Dh "can you smell that? it smells just like baby powder" he can't smell it but it lingers around me for about five min, meanwhile my nipples go all tinglely like it does just before your milk comes in.

Now I haven't "felt" like it was Nikita - I do get the occasional "feeling" when she is around and usually its in dreams anyway but I don't quite know what to make of this experience .

Am I going mad? - possibly but thats nothing new

Is it a "spirit baby" letting me know one is ready to come to me - if you believe that sort of thing

Is it just a sign that I am ready to move on

OR

Do I just have an overactive imagination that suddenly is producing smells as well?

One ponders!!!

Would love to hear from others what they think.

(yes, i know I replied in the other thread but I think this section invites an expanded answer )

I definitely don't think it's your imagination. I really do think that it's your baby, whether it's Nikita or another little soul I obviously couldn't say but it's your baby all the same.

I'd take comfort in knowing that your baby is there. Yes, your baby, who has chosen you and is patiently waiting for you, whenever you are ready.

It's a very beautiful experience and I hope a reassuring one

Thanks SJH - I would like to think not only an expanded answer but I am quite open to discussing any opinion offered on the matter and welcome that also (including the insanity option )

My home has its spirits who like to visit from time to time and for a long time 2nd Generation's wife Annie had been lingering around and making her presence known to myself.... Aside from the man in the hat who walks around the veranda and only stays in your perifferal (sp?) vision .... I don't like him much and he never comes inside thank goodness.

Anyway

In September I went to see a lady and had no idea what she did etc but she speaks to people who have passed on and she told me a few things about Annie and that Annie had tried to warn me about my pregnancy with Niki (I had several nightmares about birthing Niki early at work in the toilet but brushed them off as being nerves after my m/c) since seeing this woman I have not felt anything at all in my home until the smell of baby powder.

I hope it is my baby letting me know that it is ready when I am and yes it is a very comforting thought knowing it is there. Maybe its telling me that I really am ready too its prompted some very real TTC discussions next cycle (Jan) and even though I still feel sad about Niki I feel I should trust that there are guiding forces who will lead me to the path when they feel I am ready to walk it ... IYKWIM...

gosh a rambly post

Sorry x x x

[Lucy]

Don't apologise for rambling!

I don't think it is an overactive imagination, or that you are going mad. Not at all!

I think you are ready, particularly if you are not upset by any of these experiences, to welcome a new little soul.

And certainly, to be aware of such potent noises and smells would be a wonderful indiction that you are truly able to visualise and manifest what you want and need. And the law of attraction relies upon such awareness to create life........

Exciting and safe times ahead I think.......

[NaeNae]

The plot thickens .....

I posted in my old dute dates group for babies born sept 08 just to see what the girls thought and one of the responses I got there was very interesting and it didn't occur to me that it would be related so I didn't post that info anywhere else.

The following day (from smelling the baby powder) I got a call to say that Niki's plaques were in - Finally, I am collecting them on thursday.

The BB user suggested it was related and that it was in fact Niki (even though I didn't feel like it was) letting me know everything will be ok.

I guess anything is possible.

Maybe thats why I didn't get funny about finishing the nursery (it was started when I was 4 months pregnant) and setting it up. Maybe thats why I feel so drawn to the room and love to just sit in there, the energy of the room feels so beautiful, its my favorite room in the house.

I love to try and visualise the room with a baby (ok I sniff the baby powder occasionally)


Does anyone know what the deal is with cats (ghost/spirit cats) when I was working on the nursery I occasionally would see this white fluffy cat but only a quick glimpse. This one time I saw it out the corner of my eye and I thought it was Moe (my fluffy B&W cat) so went looking for him only to find him asleep in the front living room.

Still see it or so I think occasionally but only when I am in the nursery ... maybe I should get someone out to my house it is 111 next year (same family line on DH side we're 5th Gen to live in it)

Nae, definately not your imagination.

I miscarried on 11 September 2001 (twin towers collapse). I was devastated.

I saw a psychic before falling pregnant with my current DD, was around October 2006. She told me she saw November (11th month) as falling pregnant.

Then I fell pregnant in April 2007. The number "11" was coming up all the time, everywhere. Whether it be on signposts, number plates, clocks, you name it. I am psychic myself so had a strong feeling a message was trying to be sent to me.

As I charted when TTC, I looked back and DD was conceived on CD11. Then I did a test at 11DPO and it was positive.

The psychic obviously saw the number "11" also and perhaps mentioned it was November when I would fall pregnant. But it was April instead. Perhaps she just picked up on number 11.

I looked up a website on angel numbers - number 11. It mentioned something about a seed being planted, new opportunity and new beginnings. Then I thought immediately about my miscarriage on September 11. A psychic told me years ago that my unborn baby will come to me again in the future, be reincarnated as such. So I strongly believe that the number "11" was an indicator of many things, especially seeing as though I lost my baby when the twin towers collapsed.

Approaching DD's due date...we thought she would have to be born on 1/1/08 but it ended up 2/1/08! I was however having contractions on 1/1 but was induced on 2/1...was already 2cm dilated.

My intuition was very strong when I fell PG with DD. I believe it was the universe telling me she had finally been planted in my womb, what a gift to receive.

Nikita is around you at this time. Those who have passed over have unique ways of indicating to you that they are there. I often felt my unborn baby around me after 2001. But that feeling has disappeared now with my DD.

I loved your post xx

[Lucy]

Nae,

I strongly believe that cats are linked in some way to our fertility. Before I went on to fall pg with Olivia, I had a missed mc at 16 weeks and it was our cat. Aris, that "sensed" that he needed to be with me int he long dark weeks after that. He would literally lie on top of me in bed and ward anyone else apart from my DH off!

Then, when I finally fell pg with Olivia, he disappeared. Not just for a few days (as he had done many times before) but forever........we lost him and he never returned. BUT, through my whole pregnancy with Olivia I used to "hear" him in my dreams and through the daytime too (meowing and purring) and I swear I could feel him on our bed as I slept but he was never really there. I constantly dreamt Aris cat dreams when I was pg with Olivia. BUT as soon as I gave birth, the dreams stopped and I have never had them since, nor have I "heard" Aris again. (I suspevt he is fat and old and happy, sunning himself in Darwin!)

Not sure if that helps cement anything?

[NaeNae]

Queenbee and Lucy - both your posts gave me chills (in a good way ) Isn't it incredible the way that everything works.

I am not sure if you know my whole story but my first pregnancy was a m/c we had two cycles (under dr instructions) and fell pregnant first go with Niki. The first pregnancy due date was 10th May 2008. I went into hospital with having had contractions irregularly for a few days prior and was 2 cm dialated with buldging membranes on the 4th May - the same week I would have been due with first pregnancy.

Now the drs assure me the two pregnancies and the complications I had were completely unrelated there was no way the first could have impacted so strongly on the second, Coincidence? I think not!

I feel like Niki's soul needed to complete a life cycle before she could "cross over".

She was born, lived and fought so hard then died peacefully and is missed and loved dearly by us - perhaps that is what she needed that she may have not had previously?

Lucy - Isn't there something about the Goddess Bast that suggests she is linked to feritility and spirituality? I think I need to find out and do some reading.

[queenbee]

Nae, it would have been so hard to lose your little one, I really feel for you. That number 11 thing throughout my PG was amazing and I really feel the universe was telling me something very special was on the way. I have an incredible bond with my DD and when I look into her guys, I know she too has a gift and will be very spiritual. My father was psychic and great-grandmother a medium. It runs in the family

[NaeNae]

QB - wow you are so lucky to have such a gift. For lack of a better way of asking - what is your gift ie what do you do?

I believe there are some truely gifted people out there is a shame there are others that pretend to be what they are not and that ruins it for others.

I was never 100% sure about people who could communicate with those who had crossed over until I met the lady I saw in Sept. There was no way she could have guessed everything, some things yes, but NOT everything.

Names of people, some who I had not thought of in years came through, even my dog and she gave me the answers I had been seeking.

1 - that my little girl was ok
2 - that she was being looked after
3 - who was looking after her

even some other things that I will not mention just yet (want to see if it comes to be)

I came out of my session with her so comforted and relieved, I felt so light of the burden I had carried knowing she was safe and no longer in any pain. Of course I still feel the pain of the loss but I know she is in a much better place and has LOTS of family and friends who have passed on around her to love her and keep her safe until we are reunited.

I think my session with that lady was exactly what I needed and I will always be grateful to her.

I am a big believer in the power of dreams. For four years DH and were ttc and ended up in fertility treatment that didn't work. During all this time I never actually 'dreamed' of having a baby. After the fertility treatment failed we went to Cairns for a 2 week holiday. Our first night there I had a dream I had given birth to a baby boy. I woke up at around 2 am for no reason and DH rolled over woke up , looked at me and said 'Can you get the baby?'. He then went back to sleep. We later found out we had conceived our son on that holiday. I would say what ever your gut feeling is would be what is real. The power of dreams is very real.

WOW

thats so cool - I went all goosebumpy ... I bet you pay close attention now huh!?

[queenbee]

Nae, I will PM you.

Macca, me too....although....I did dream I won $19M the other night, it was too real, I actually thought I was millionaire when I woke up! So here's hoping!

[Macca79]

NaeNae- I try to pay attention to them but these days I feel so tired I don't think I dream that much, or if I do I don't remember them in the morning. But in all honesty I am not one of those people who has much of this sort of thing happen to them. I think that is way when we conceived DS it was such an eye opener as it was so out of the ordinary for me.

Queenbee - I am still to have a lotto dream, wouldn't mind that one coming true, .
