Pregnancy brain

Atreble · January 2014

Anyone have any examples that you're willing to share?

Seems like since I found out I was pregnant, my mind has been on another planet. Sometimes I'm driving and I forget where I'm supposed to be going. In the shower a few mornings ago, I forgot if I'd already shampooed my hair or if I'd just gotten it wet. I go to call a familiar number and I forget which numbers to dial.

I have to try really hard to make sure I have everything on my "to do" list written down and available. If I forget the list, I am so lost!

I wasn't this way at all before pregnancy!

I am right there with you! I've been having serious pregnancy brain. It's horrible. Without lists I would be 100% lost lately. I usually never forget things and can always remember everything without having to make notes or a list, but not lately! You aren't alone!!!

I have the memory of a goldfish too! My office is plastered with post it notes so I can remember to do everything!

I am a personal/administrative assistant for 3 of the hire ups aty company. A big part of my job is remembering tasks, phone messages etc and I feel like a huge fail whale at least once a day. I forget CONSTANTLY and it is driving me bonkers. I have to carry around little notepads everywhere I go because by the time I get back to my desk I forget.

In chat I just totally confused NSYNC lyrics for Savage Garden lyrics. My apologies to the ladies. Darn pregnancy brain!!

I left my purse in Bloomingdales the other day. Stored my car keys in the freezer and now today I misplaced my wallet. I only left the house once to take dd to school. The sucker is just gone, so frustrating.

Dude, new mom brain is so much worse though! I left the keys to my car ON MY CAR not once, but TWICE in the weeks after DS was born. SOOOOO lucky I didn't lose my car!

3 times this week I loaded the dishwasher and put soap in it but forgot to push start. Then in the morning I am wondering why the dishes are still dirty.

I tried spelling delicious the other day.. I spelt it out a few times before deciding on "delishish" as the proper spelling. Wow.

Yay, ya'll have a friend in me! It is honestly making me feel like I am going crazy. Today, I am having lots of trouble finding my words. I'll start a sentence...and then forget a word. And it's usually a simple word, like "bank" or "dog" or something like that. Instead of saying, "I need to go cash a check", I end up saying something like, "I need to check my cash."

I'm so glad hubby can still figure what I mean most of the time!

No one told me that I'd need to stock up on post-it notes for pregnancy....but I sure do!

Good luck with this everyone!

I like to think I am usually pretty sharp, but this pregnancy has me feeling like a complete idiot. If I don't do what I tell myself I need to right then and there, I will forget what it was. I forgot I had set out to find my hair straightener A WEEK AGO until I stumbled upon it this morning. I put my cereal bowl in the fridge and took the milk to the table with me. I was carrying around a tube of toothpaste for ten minutes the other morning for what reason, I don't know. Currently, a lot of my position at work takes place on a teller line, and I keep telling my supervisor that I should NOT be responsible for balancing a cash drawer right now. Yikes. Only one more week on the line - hopefully I make it through without incident.
