Pregnancy Brain...

Mine seems to be starting early this time. It was terrible my first pregnancy. I'm not normal absent minded.

Today I left my phone on the roof of my car while strapping DD in to get groceries. I realized it at the gas station and drove back and forth scanning the road. Find my iPhone said the phone was at a house down the road. I watched for a couple hours and the phone never moved, so I asked a police officer to get it for me, after apologizing profusely for wasting his time, because I didn't want to show up at a strangers house with DD.

He came back with the phone.... Looking like this. It's not just the screen. Completely crushed brand new iPhone 6.

Add phone calls to Verizon and I had about five hours of chaos, a one year old who hasn't napped, and no groceries. Oh and probably a few hundred dollars for a new phone.

Is anyone else completely absent minded while pregnant?

Omg that's horrible!!! Kinda looks like it was run over

I'm suuuuuuper absent-minded these days. My husband will ask me to do something and I'll forget it pretty much instantly. I wandered the aisles at the grocery store yesterday having no idea what to buy. Total fog.

Yes, although my stories pale in comparison to yours. I got stressed out just reading this, I'm so sorry!! To be honest I'm not sure it ever went away after I had DD, but it seems to have gotten worse since I got pregnant again.

My pregnancy brain was terrible with my first.  

 

I thought it was crazy to have it this early, but the other day, we spent 30 minutes looking for my cell phone before leaving the house.  It was in my bathrobe pocket.  DH was *super* amused.

I'm like 2 seconds pregnant, but I've already managed to misplace all the things and forget words when trying to talk. That may just be me being me though

In the days leading up to my BFP, I was away for the weekend with friends and I was in charge of the keys for the house we were staying in. Every time we left the house, I had to search for the keys and had trouble finding them. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. In the past few days I've been clumsier than ever, too. I cut a huge gash in my finger while cutting a cake (I worked at a cake bakery for three years up until last month, it shouldn't be hard for me to cut a cake!), I keep dropping things, I'm just a mess! I sure hope it doesn't get worse as time goes on!!!

Edit: because even though I reread it six times, there were still errors. Like I said, I'm a mess!

Thank you for sharing your stories! It makes me feel a little less bad I ruined a brand new $700 phone...

I'm sad my brain is going to be turned back to mush again. DH just shakes his head and laughs.

Yikes, that sucks.

I don't feel like I can blame anything on pregnancy brain, because I've always been extremely absentminded. Misplacing things, leaving things, forgetting to do things. If it gets worse, I'm really in trouble >.<

My job requires me to be extremely quick on my feet, able to respond to difficult questions/unexpected topics instantaneously... yeaaaah, I'm a wee bit concerned
