Somehow in this one I managed to get myself knocked up. There was a reasonable explanation at the time... I'd had a uterus transplant in order to deal with some other issue, and I guess the implanted zygote was already humming along. I kept talking to other mothers to get their input. I started reading books about baby care so I wouldn't screw anything up.

It was only when I started having contractions that I realized that I had no orifice through which to safely expel a baby, and I panicked at the sudden realization that it might have to come out through my penis. Gah.

In another part of the dream, I kept going to a clinic to have a standard HIV test. The first time they took blood and told me that my results were "inconclusive," so I'd have to come back the next day and try again. The next day when I returned, the nurse at the clinic was a woman from my office who politely pretended not to know me.

She tried to take a blood sample but failed to get anything, so they anesthetized me and put me into some sort of contraption to x-ray my brain for indications of HIV. I could see all of this as though I was floating above my own body- I think they said they set up a monitor for it? And then they saw something in my brain that should come out for some reason, and so somebody with a latex gloved hand just DUG into my brain and pulled out a golf ball sized lump of gray matter.

After I was up and about again (which only took a few minutes), one of the other nurses rolled her eyes at the new girl and took a blood sample. She came back in a minute and said, "Negative."
