Anxiety - H

...about delivery or my mother? Maybe both. I had a dream last night that my mother was trying to micromanage my delivery, everything from making sure I didn't get an epidural to ordering me to get a episiotomy and deliver NOW! All this while I'm trying to explain to her what I had in mind about my delivery, and how I didn't agree with what she was saying, and that I understand that she practiced as a nurse once upon a time, but having babies has changed a lot since then. It was to no avail, so then I just had to firmly sit her down and make it clear that things have changed and I have my own ideas about how to do things. Then I walked away and left her there a bit stunned. I felt bad about having to do that afterward, but she wasn't hearing anything I had to say. Then I woke up. Ugh, I hope this isn't a foretaste of my experience to come. I'm already feeling stressed.
