Dream about having a baby

...except my fiance and I are both gay men. I don't really know where the baby came from. And neither of us wants children. Neither of us wants that sort of huge commitment to something - when you have a kid you don't just get to take a break, and they're factored into your forever if you aren't a pos. And I'm also a soft antinatalist and don't believe bringing children into the world right now is ethical. So it's not some deeply buried desire to have a baby.

During the dream, most of the time I was worried about holding the baby's head. We were running around and having to do a bunch of things - I don't know, random dream stuff - but the theme of the dream was keeping the baby's head stable. That's all I could focus on and it felt like any movement at all would jerk the baby's head around. I did love the little thing, and did have a couple of thoughts of "Oh god, this is forever, but that wasn't the main stressor.

Very weird lol
