A little white Buddha
“During my first pregnancy, I had a super real dream. I saw my daughter born. I watched her emerging, slowly turning so I could see her all around. She was silent peaceful eyes closed and mouth relaxed. She was unusually white. The vision came as a dream and I awoke after to remember it in detail. I felt that it was a communication from my child reassuring me that everything was going to be fine. I often remembered the vision during the remaining pregnancy as a positive message to my self. I didn’t share the vision. Just after the birth of my daughter, my best friend and birth partner described the birth of my daughter as looking like a little white Buda. Just as I had seen in my vision. Unusually my daughter was born with the thick white vernix intact.”

“DEFINITE KNOWING OF
THE JOURNEY AHEAD”
“I was seating in a foetus position with absolute certainty looking ahead and total awareness of jumping into Earth-life.
I felt all at once - exhilarated, excited, terrified and empowered with knowing I chose to live through this experience, to make this journey here.
I knew I have to forget what I know while I am on this journey. Now, I don’t recall anything before or after this jump until I was several years old.”

“mum, there’s two of us in here”
“When I was just a few weeks pregnant, about two weeks before my first scan, I woke in the night stunned after a powerful dream, wondering if it was true that I was carrying twins. In the dream I saw the face of a beautiful child. I couldn’t tell if it was a boy or a girl in the dream, but this dream child said to me “mum, there’s two of us in here”. When I had my first scan at 12 weeks I asked if it was possible that I might be having twins. The scan showed two heartbeats. My tiny, as yet unformed baby was right, I was having twins. I felt sure from that moment that the souls of my unborn children had already incarnated and we were in communication. That whole experience made me feel safe and connected to my body, my babies and to spirit. I read that you should feel your baby move regularly. But I hardly ever felt the twins move. I never worried about it, I was so deeply relaxed, I just knew, from the feeling of profound trust that the dream instilled in me, that things were all ok. My dream child turned out to be Kris, my youngest by one minute. The face I saw in my dream was just how he looked five years later, when he was around four years old. My boys are almost thirty now, and I have had a deep, psychic connection with Kris, my dream child ever since.”

“we’d be fine and
I didn’t need to worry”
“I experienced several vivid dreams throughout both my pregnancies but one in particular felt stronger than a dream. I was concerned at the time for my daughters wellbeing and she spoke to me from my belly, at first this was through the skin until she was able to push her head through my belly but this was not alarming. She had a head of auburn hair which I was surprised by as her brothers colouring is dark. She reassured me that we’d be fine and I didn’t need to worry.”

“My friend said jokingly
that I must be pregnant…”
“After a very late miscarriage and years of treatment for infertility, I was on holiday at friends.
I had a very vivid dream, so powerful that I related it to my husband and friend.
In the dream, I had a daughter who must have been about 2 or 3. She was blonde, with green eyes.... An unusual combination as her father, my son and I were blue-eyed brunettes.
My friend said jokingly that I must be pregnant, something that was laughed at because of the ludicracy after all the previous years.
When we returned home, the first thing I did was do a pregnancy test. Sure enough, I was pregnant!
All through my pregnancy, I remembered my dream, and I knew my unborn baby had appeared to me.
My daughter was born 6 months later to much elation and relief on all our parts.
I have a photo of her, taken when she was 2, and she looks exactly as she had looked like in my dream. My blonde, green-eyed girl.”

“I am held, I am working to a divine plan, and we are all loved”.
“I have had three unmedicated home births with our three children, so I'm no stranger to the natural processes of birth by now. My first two labours were the longer of the three (but still only 12hr and 14hrs from start to finish) and attended by visiting midwives for the duration of active labour. With our third child the four-hour labour was intense from the get go, and a large portion of active labour was done without midwives in attendance.
With Alys's labour I was awoken with intense contractions around 5am, and from experience, I knew to let my husband know this was the real deal and not to hang about getting the midwives here. They did still take at least an hour to arrive, though.
I got up soon after waking and continued to labour in the bedroom on the birthing ball at the foot of the bed. With the other children being early risers, my husband would periodically tend to their needs downstairs before returning to support me. It was during one of these brief moments alone before the midwives arrived, that I heard a voice in my head that told me to go for a wee as there'd be a big enough gap between the next two contractions to go wee and to get back to my birthing ball where I was comfortable and in control. Trusting that this voice had my best interests at heart, I endeavoured to do what I was told - the advice was entirely accurate, and I was grateful for the heads up.
I continued labouring listening to a Bansuri playlist on Spotify, and a bit later the voice told me in no uncertain terms to "get the bucket". It was repeated a couple of times until I did as I was told, despite at the time thinking it was unnecessary as I wasn't nauseated at all. I brought the bucket we'd prepared nearer to where I was bouncing. Following the next contraction, which had intensified substantially from the one previous, I was very glad that I'd listened to the voice again as I was indeed sick with little other warning. I was again grateful for the heads up from wherever it came, and knew instinctively that my third home birth would be as blissful, instinctive and powerful as the other two before it.
Alys peacefully arrived within 4 hours of my waking, still in her intact amniotic sac, and the two midwives that were in attendance snuck away for an emotional cry soon after due to how lovely an experience it was for them to be part of.
At the time of this pregnancy I hadn't begun my journey of spiritual development, nor was I aware of the mediumistic intuitive gift I have since developed, but at the time I was still able to happily accept the voice as some sort of sage guidance spoken from the Universe, and questioned it not.

our baby was saying hello & preparing us
“So hubby & I had gone to visit my parents for Christmas & decided to try. Just before we were about to have sexual relations, I had a very clear vision of a butterfly appear. It was as real as an actual butterfly. Beautiful colours of yellow & red, which made me think it was a Monarch butterfly. It wasn't there long but it was a clear indication that baby was on the way. Of course, I didn't make that connection until I found out I was pregnant but it was nice to know she was saying hello before she was even created into being.
A lovely metaphor for transformation as well.”

Connecting with a child before conception?
At the age of 39, I had finally gathered the strength to escape from an extremely abusive marriage of 20 years. I had two very much-loved blue-eyed boys from this union who were now growing into young men. to put this into context all of my family had blue eyes, myself, my mom and dad, my brother, and all of my cousins. I was used to gazing into blue eyes!
At this point, I didn’t have a partner or any expectations of a future relationship.
Shortly after, when staying overnight at my parents’ home, I had an amazing ‘dream’. A vision came to me of a beautiful brown-eyed, person’s face. I knew the energy was male. I so beautifully dark and deep that I can't fully describe the incredible power of this moving experience. the eyes were the focal point, they were so warm and loving and all-encompassing it was something that touched my soul and at this time I really did not know what this meant apart from the fact that it moved me deeply, touched my heart, and was so comforting.
One month before my 40th birthday I was introduced, via a friend, to the true love of my life. this was so unexpected, and we connected on a deep level immediately, we were indeed soul mates. because of my age, we both accepted that having a child would be out of the question.
However, 6 months later I was pregnant! we married without hesitation as we knew we wanted to be with each other for the rest of our lives and beyond. the pregnancy went amazingly well and we were blessed with a healthy and beautiful son. as soon as I looked into our son’s eyes I knew this was the vision I had been blessed with two years before. his eyes were the same as I had seen in my dream; huge, brown, and so dark, dark as coal and so full of love.
This is something when I look back on, I can't explain, but I accept it for what it is. my son wasn't even an embryo when I had this powerful dream, but I believe he was with me, even before his conception.

“their spirit connecting in these dreams too...”
I have had four babies, and each time I had a dream I was pregnant before I was consciously aware I needed a pregnancy test. I feel it meant my inner spirit knew, and was making me aware, as well as perhaps the souls of my children connecting with me in these dreams too. In my pregnancies I use to connect with my children daily, I believe this connection really aided my strength for their births.
My husband had a vision that he would have a daughter with blond hair, called Runa years before we had her. Our daughter together is my youngest daughter. When I met my husband, he thought he was medically infertile. Runa is pretty special, I conceived quickly within our relationship. She is just like the vision he described to me when we met.
When Runa was old enough to speak she use to tell us of her 'old life', she would talk about her parents, and mourn for them. She would say she missed them, and sob deep real tears. Runa use to tell us of stories of her old life with her parents and worried her mum might still be upset with her after she knocked over a bucket of fish following a full day of fishing. I use to reassure her, and tell her I was her mum now and that I’m sure her old mum was happy for her, wouldn’t be angry and loves her. I asked Runa where she grew up in that life, she said, north of here. A place called the Windy Cliffs. She described the cliffs. She also said that she passed from that life by falling off the cliffs. But, she says, she didn’t die. She fell through a hole and was looked after by a woman. In that place she watched her papa grow up, and when he met me she decided to be in my tummy.
We looked up the Windy Cliffs, there is a place in Ireland on the west coast.
Paul and I did DNA tests two years ago, and a huge percentage of Paul’s DNA is located one hour walk away from the Windy Cliffs in Ireland.
I work with a lot of women as a doula, so I support birth.
One vision I see a lot is the baby’s spirit being brought in and held by grandparents in spirit. This seems to happen through pregnancy until between 24/30 weeks when the baby’s spirit seems to be there more permanently. There after the sense of grandparents in spirit is space holding. I rarely share this with clients unless they ask, but sharing here because it feels relevant.

“Miraculous Pre-Conception Dream”
I have had a number of very unusual experiences during my life. The following one concerns my special daughter, who ended up as the very top graduate of her School and later achieved a Doctorate degree. My wife and I always loved children and we were always looking forward to having several. After we got married (mid-1970’s), we tried for many years to conceive children, but without any luck. My wife had a medical condition, and had to have one of her ovaries removed as a result. The Doctor said that the other ovary was also quite scarred, and that the chances of her getting pregnant was quite slim.
Towards the end of the 1980’s, after five frustrating years of trying, we finally decided that we would look into adoption, since we wanted so desperately to raise children. We talked about it for some time, and the more we talked about it, the closer we came to actually going through the procedures. We talked about it for some time, and the more we talked about it, the closer we came to actually going through the procedures. By this time it was the middle of February, early 1980’s.
Before I tell you what happened next, you have to know that I have great difficulty visualizing anything, and therefore also have difficulty with dreams. I remember very few dreams and the ones I do are mostly just memories of thoughts, rather than visual pictures, although sometimes a few vague pictures of the dream contents can be remembered. I rarely if ever have an intense, visual dream.
Anyways, during the middle of February, I woke up one morning recalling the most realistic and visual dream that I ever remember having. I woke up thinking that the events during the night actually happened and that it was not at all a normal dream. I dreamt that an angelic type of being came to me and told me that we would have a child in exactly three months. I was very elated and immediately told my wife. After all this time of waiting, she was very hopeful, even though to her it was only a dream. We decided at that time that we would only try for another three months before seriously looking into adoption.
Exactly three months later to the day, (mid May), my wife did a pregnancy test (she had also done one a few days earlier). It was not positive. Both of us were quite depressed and we quickly decided that what I had experienced three months earlier must have just been a fanciful dream after all. We also decided that we would fill out the necessary adoption forms as soon as we could.
The very next day happened to be my Birthday (another coincidence). My wife decided to try the pregnancy test one more time, just in case. You guessed it! It showed that she was pregnant!! This was exactly three months and one day after the dream which said she would be pregnant in three months!! I never could figure out why there was the extra day, unless perhaps, if the pregnancy test the day earlier had been done later during the day it would have shown positive, or a full three months had to pass BEFORE she was seen to be pregnant, rather than on the day of the three months. Regardless, we were extremely elated and filled with joy!
Less than eight months later, on January 6, my daughter was born, about a month premature. An important thing to note here is that January 6 is the Epiphany, a commemoration of the revealing of Yeshua (Jesus) as the Christ to the Gentiles in the persons of the Magi at Bethlehem (I’m not religious but my wife is). It is also the traditional day of the manifestation of a god or other super natural being. As such, the name we gave her included the concept of Christ. She was a real miracle, and happened to develop an incredibly high IQ, eventually acquiring a Doctorate degree.
Only two years later our oldest son was born, and a few years later our youngest son was born, both also miracles, considering that there was only a very slim chance that my wife could ever get pregnant. We couldn’t be more proud of our wonderful children!
