I wonder if there was a baby crying in another part of recovery. What was really interesting as well, was that the reasonable side of my brain knew I had not had a baby. I can’t have a baby. Those days are over. Yet, my mind couldn’t move away from the attachment to the belief that I actually had a baby. I couldn’t get my brain to move into the critical thinking side. I was kind of excusing it, like, no, I’m pretty sure I had a baby. It was if the critical side of my brain had turned into the lie. I’m very curious to know what is happening in the brain system during this.

This anesthesia was through my IV. The anesthesiologist put oxygen on my nose/mouth and I felt the anesthesia go in. The room started fading and my mind tried for a second to fight it, and then I was out. I awakened in recovery thinking I’d just given birth.

Fascinating mind science. 🤔
