What does it mean to dream about giving birth?
You suddenly realize you're pregnant and about to give birth - or maybe you've had a baby but you don't remember being pregnant!
A dream like this can sometimes indicate the simple desire to have a baby.
Usually though it has a more symbolic meaning that applies equally to men and women. Birth can be a metaphor for a new side to your nature that is about to emerge, such as an ability you hadn't realized you possessed. Alternatively, you could be incubating an idea or project that is now coming to fruition, possibly nine month after it was first conceived!
Giving birth can also indicate renewal in some area of your life. The dream could refer to an improvement in your health, a change of circumstances, a new relationship or even a feeling of being reborn after a period of stagnantion.
If the pregnancy has lasted a long time but there's no sign of a baby, the dream suggest that you have been hoping to find fulfilment through something that has failed to materialize. It could refer to a personal relationship that has never quite taken off.
