Birth to a Cat

We read that it is not unusual to have strange dreams while pregnant - dreaming of forgetting your baby in the supermarket or leaving them in a filing cabinet!

I had my first strange dream the other night. I dreamt that I gave birth to a cat! And in my dream that was apparently totally normal. It was like you had a 90% chance of having a child, and a 10% chance of having a cat. In my dream I gave birth to a grey cat, I was so ecstatic at first because I was so happy to have just given birth and the miracle of a new baby...cat. It wasn't until they passed me the cat to hold it for the first time, and it meowed,

scratched me and ran away, that I was sad that I hadn't had a child instead.

My mom was there and she was comforting me as I wept! I was saying over and over, "I know that I am so fortunate to have had a cat, but I really wanted a baby, I wanted the baby."

Must have been too much reading about the early stages and the embryo actually having a tail for a while!! Hahaha!
