Forgetfulness??

KaliChick · August 2011

Please tell me the forgetfulness goes away!!!! Just this morning I've forgotten:

1. Take the chicken out for dinner

2. Bring a document to mail back

3. To inform a teacher about a returning student

4. To bring a bag of medicine with me I'm donating to a friend

5. That it was crazy hat/hair day (the teachers are all doing it at preschool too, so I guess I better)

I'm sure there's something else too!!

Please tell me it gets better!!!! I'm literally leaving myself sticky notes everywhere!!

Agh! Mine is terrible. I leave my water bottle everywhere. I cannot multitask at work at all. Last week I left someone the same message--twice--within a half hour. Today I forgot my lunch, makeup, and sweater. I have post it's everywhere!

My memory is getting worse by the day.
Just this morning someone came by at work to ask me about something I am supposed to be an 'expert' in and I literally drew a total blank! It was embarrassing.

I am living by lists otherwise I am totally lost!

I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm not one that typically forgets stuff, so this is very unsettling to me. I mean, forgetting to take the chicken out is one thing, but combine it with everything else and I'm losing my mind quite literally! LOL

I'm putting post it notes everywhere!!

My SIL keeps teasing me that it only gets worse once the babys born. LOL

I wish I could tell you it gets better, but mine has only gotten worse! I was always a list maker, but now I make lists for EVERYTHING!

Ummm my mind is forgetting EVERYTHING! I keep telling everyone, "Our baby girl is going to be SO smart because she is taking all of my brain cells right now!"

Oh my yes! I left my lunch sitting in the kitchen this morning but thankfully DH caught me in time as I was getting in car to give it to me. It's been bad. DH has called it "maternity moments." Lol!!!

Me too. I put a plum in my purse since I constantly need to snack. I forgot til days later when I wondered what that terrible smell in my purse was. That's just one example of many but the worst. Well the worst is being 2 hours late with endometrin.

Mine has not improved. Yesterday I left the grocery store and had absolutely no idea where I parked. I knew what side of the store it was on and that was it. I wondered around for over 5min! I had no idea which way I was facing, how far down the aisle or even remotely what aisle. I called my sister and chatted with her until I found it. I looked like a complete idiot, made even worse by the fact I was laughing the whole time.

Write EVERYTHING important down. Lists will now be your friend.

I like to call this "goldfish brain"

I tried to open my front door with my car remote

You know it's bad when you don't know how to get in your house anymore!

This made me laugh out loud at my desk.

I had always heard people referring to "Pregnancy Brain" and totally thought they were making it up... until now. I cooked a meatloaf for 3 hrs b/c I forgot it was in the over - ended up throwing out the whole pan b/c I couldn't even get it out of there. I wandered around the grocery store this weekend in a confused haze b/c I didn't have a list & I had no idea what I needed to buy. I even go upstairs in my house, or down to my basement and think, "what was I going to do?"

Unfortunately, I have heard it gets even worse when the baby comes. DH says, "as long as you're not wearing your underwear on the outside of your pants, you're OK."
