I feel like something's wrong...
Yesterday, I felt different, like something was off. I wasn't that tired, and by the time I got home last night, I had enough energy to bake some banana bread. That started to worry me, as usually I've been so incredibly tired every day from this pregnancy. Then, even at 8 o'clock last night, I still wasn't that hungry, and usually I'm famished. I started thinking that maybe something was wrong.
I got up in the middle of the night with Owen, and after I fell back asleep, I had this horrible dream. First I dreampt I was in my doctor's office and we were all celebrating because we were able to hear the heartbeat on a doppler machine at only nine weeks. We were having a party, and my doctor gave me a hug and cogratulations. Then he went to sleep in the back of his office. The next scene in my dream, I am in Michigan with my family and I have begun spotting, then bleeding, then it has turned into a full miscarriage. My family is trying to tell me it's okay and I screamed, "Leave me alone! All of you had fucking perfect pregnancies. You don't know anything!" Then I felt a horrible cramp and sank to the floor.
I woke myself up, because I was so frightened by the dream. The thing that scares me is that I had a dream about having a miscarriage just before I had my real miscarraige. So, how do I know what it is? Is is intuition? Does reality breed imagination or does imagination breed reality? Am I just being paranoid because I am at the same point in my last pregnancy when I found out it wasn't going to work? How much can I rely on the fact that there was a heartbeat two weeks ago?
Today, I don't feel pregnant. I keep waiting for the nausea to return, but there is none. I am not tired, and when I got in the shower, usually my nipples are very sensitive to the water and today they were not. I don't know how I'm going to get through whatever is coming. Can I create my own reality? Or is it set in stone?

If it's any comfort to you, I've had several very realistic, bloody dreams about m/c, even to the extent I check out the fetus. Lots of blood in the toilet dreams. Very disturbing and scary. But baby's kicking right now.
Well, you know I've had numerous times when I've felt this way. I've also had bad dreams. I know that someone really do have those "feelings" and something is wrong, but some people also have those "feelings" and nothing is wrong. Will you be renting a doppler if all is well? I have to say that it has helped me immensely with my panicked feelings. Perhaps you could call the doctor tomorrow just for some reassurance?
Please let us know soon that you are doing alright...
Thanks, all, for your comforting words. Dreams scare me because they are so real, and sometimes I feel as if I am reliving a dream later in my life...I know that sounds weird...
