If you want to know how truly crazy you can be, try and get pregnant
Because you will discover that you are completely and utterly bonkers.
Try this on for size. Every month we try and time it correctly, I have “symptoms”. From the first day. Which is impossible since pregnancy really begins with implantation and that doesn’t happen until at least day 6 normally.
But the symptoms are real. I have stomach pains and my breasts hurt. I get dizzy randomly, while my mind is totally focused on something else. I am not consciously making up these symptoms. I am sub-consciously making up these symptoms. That’s crazy.
I also just spent 8 euro on a “conception reading” on eBay. While all those who know me pick themselves up from the floor, allow me to explain that I am generally anti-psychic. I figure a couple of things:
1. They’re probably not actually real. As in, I don’t really believe there’s anything to it. OR
2. If there is, it’s probably best not to mess with it.
But apparently, I’ve lost my mind entirely.
Anyway, I have the prediction. I’m to conceive in March this year. No point testing next week, I suppose. Or trying in February. What a relief!
I’m also to conceive a girl in September 2012 (assuming the world doesn’t end). The one I’m conceiving in March is a boy. I should email her about her fixation on gender. I’m just not that rigid. I wonder if she can tell me if they’re gay?
I also have a deceased male person with the initial J, apparently, who is telling the psychic this stuff. That sounds reasonable. I mean, a lot of names start with J. Except I don’t know a single male with that initial who has died — even counting relatives I didn’t know, like grand parents. At a stretch, she might have mixed up G and J. Who knows?
So, yes, I’m crazy enough that I spent 8 euro on something I knew would be total rubbish and subconsciously create pregnancy symptoms before they are even biologically plausible.
Baby-craziness exists, and I am living proof of it.

You think that’s crazy? Luv, it’s only dress rehearsal. Brace yourself. If March is indeed your lucky month, you’ll be barking mad a year from now, telling random strangers how you yearn for a night’s sleep and an uninterrupted shower. I once found myself singing The Wheels on the Bus. On the bus. Out loud. On the crowded bus. Happily, my son was with me.
