Pregnancy Brain is Real

I absolutely did not think pregnancy brain was a real thing or that it would hit so soon. That is until i showered with my glasses on, left the car on in the drive way and let the dog out without his chain on all in the same day.  Anyone else riding the struggle bus like me?

    Last night at my girls comp, my friend asked if I would go look at pictures with her (from the competition photographer) and told her I just need to get my purse. I go in the dressing room , Go by my stuff, start talking to another mom , completely forget why I am by my stuff, trying to remember what I came over there for. After 20 min my friend comes in and asked " did you forget what you were going in here for?" I was like yes! Still not remembering she said , get your purse and lets go look at those pics. Uh duh

  • Oh my gosh, pregnancy brain is definitely a real thing! I feel for you ladies. I was finalizing my final paper for an online class tonight & couldn't comprehend why Word kept underlining the word "understanded" in red. Definitely got super frustrated for about 5 minutes until I realized that "understood" is the past tense of "understand"... Ugh. 
  • Oh, I'm always finding stuff in places it doesn't belong. :confused:

    My pregnancy brain has been so bad. Multiple times I have been in mid conversation and completely forgot what i was saying/talking about. Not a good look at work.

    The other day I grabbed the brita and put water in my decaf coffee instead of soy milk.
    I went to go grocery shopping and walked out to the car without my car keys.

  • My pregnancy brain has been more about being forgetful than anything else. At work especially if I don't write something down then I'll forget and it'll never get done. I've also gotten bad at time management at work. I haven't missed deadlines yet but I've had a few late starts on projects. It doesn't help that I'm the program director and I need to be on top of mostly everything in this contract. But the worse so far is my inability to do some simple math, and I pride myself in being pretty good at numbers.

  • I've been leaving things in weird places, which is so unlike me.  DH is constantly losing things and now I'm right there with him.  Walked out of Target yesterday without my phone or sunglasses and for the life of me I cannot find the face wash that JUST came in the mail.  I must have put it down someplace but I've looked everywhere...
  • I had to go back to my house 2 different times this morning because I literally forgot everything! It's so bad! 
  • I locked myself out of the house yesterday. My car is keyless so I did not notice until I was inside of my car pushing the button and getting super frustrated. My keys? Exactly where I left them so I would not forget. Smh.

  • I'm so glad I'm not the only one! 
  • Last pregnancy, I went into panic mode because I didn't buy underwear for my baby! Diapers, duuuuh! 

    This time, I didn't know the month! My daughter started soccer second week of April, and I couldn't find her schedule and was getting frustrated until DH pointed out "it's because you're looking in November." I still didn't get it, it look a while to get that it wasn't November, and then I had to ask what month it was! Awful!

    Earlier today I tried to start the car using the house key.  I was staring at the key and not understanding why it wasn't working.  Yup.  

    Edited because of typos...because preggo brain reasons....

  • Our house is keyless entry. I forgot the code....

    I tried using my debit card with the wrong pin and couldn't figure out why it was declining...

    I went to get groceries..forgot the main thing I went there for.
  • I have my 3yo the dogs food instead of her breakfast the other morning. She started picking out the chicken I put in for the pup and giggling until I realized. (Yes our pup has chicken a top her kibble. She's spoiled)
  • Haha I am laughing away at all the things you ladies have done...I am certain it's real...Yesterday I was talking to my brother-in-law and my husband and was finding it hard to remember 'dinosaur', At the end I said, you know the one that animal in 'Jurassic Park'! Lol also I keep forgetting many things and keep asking people to repeat...
  • So today I have my next appointment and forgot the binder I have to bring to each appointment (it was next to my door argh) and needed to stop for gas for the car and forgot to stop at the place I always do and then when I did stop I forgot to pop the gas tank which I never do and then realized my sweater was on inside out. Not going well today so far. 
  • When I went to the restroom at work I realized my underwear  are on inside out!
