True or False?

The bigger my belly gets, the smaller my brain gets.

It has been so true this time for me. Maybe it's because I have two toddlers at home and am busier than ever these last few months, but the "pregnancy brain" is in full force.

I forget the dumbest things! It's so bad, I had a funny example to share and I can't even remember it!!

LMAO!!! YES!!!! 

I am in the exact same boat as you dear! I was told by my birthing class instructor that it only gets worse after you have the baby because of the sleep deprivation.  Lord help us!

My theory: the purpose for pregnancy brain is so we don't really remember the down sides of pregnancy or the stressful parts of new born infancy, That way when a year or two passes we want to have another, and think back and tell ourselvesit wasn't that bad. Now with number three I'm like oh yeah this stuff, I forgot about that uuuuuuggghhhhh!

Pregnancy brain is killing me.  I think the dumbest thing I've done/forgotten was I left my debt card in the ATM with my pin typed in.  I realized what I had done after just a couple of minutes and went back for it, but it was already gone.  Luckily I was able to cancel my card without any money going missing.

Completely agree with the post above...

The other day I thought I had it all together... My 7yrld was good to go to school, I had my work bag, I was dressed, I had my makeup, etc.

I drop my 1st born off at school and head to the convinient store to get my small coffee for the day. I pull up and realize, I forgot my purse! Luckily I don't live to far from there, so I just head home. Them I think, "Oh! I can grab the reciepts for teh Nerf guns that my brother ended up picking out for our boys too! AND I can grab a togo coffee mug and the coffee will be cheaper! As well as a cup and lid for Ice water so I don't get charged full price for that as well!"

I thought I was being so smoothe and then I realize... While I did grab the reciepts... I forgot the NERF GUNS!"

Oi!

Um, so true! It is really bad when I am thinking about something else and realize I am driving the completely wrong way! I was late for a meeting he other day because pregnancy brain had me occupied!
