I keep having wierd dreams about having a baby and giving birth and stuff. It's all a bit odd. I woke up this morning thinking - can I just have a moment's peace and not think about what might/might not happen and how it happens??? I guess it's a sign that while outwardly (and I thought inwardly) I am sure that everything will be fine and am not too worried because I know I will be in good hands and things will be under control, there must be some part of my subconscious that's concerned and the output is bizarre dreams. On that subject, I haven't really got a 'birth plan' and hadn't thought about it too much because I had assumed that the potential complications and being 'high risk' would mean that I wouldn't have much choice in anything (I have never been under any illusions about the fact that I have no choice of anything other than a hospital birth for example). However, as I read up on what I might need to pack for labour and hospital and come across more information, I think I'd better get some questions written down and verify my assumptions in case I find that I do have some choices and haven't made them on account of having been unaware. I have a Lupus Pregnancy clinic appointment (and another scan) on Friday, so that seems an ideal opportunity to discuss it all with the consultants. Hubby is coming too so hopefully we'll get a useful discussion and will have a better idea of what to expect given my situation.
