Pregnancy Fails

keeumm · February 2014

I have 2 Pregnancy Fails today:

1. I dropped a pack of markers on the floor at the store. I had to leave them there, walk 2 aisles over to get my friend, and have her come back to pick them up for me.

2. I very nearly used brats in our spaghetti for dinner tonight instead of italian sausage. I wonder if DH would have noticed....

What are you Pregnancy Fails of the day?

Almost said no to the drive through lady at chick fil la when she asked if I wanted dipping sauce for my nuggets.. I was like oh shit wait I do.. I dunno why Im saying no... Dunno what I thought she was asking me...

I don't know if it's pregnancy related or if I'm just a dumbass, but today I stopped to get gas and I could not find the gas cover opening lever thing. Like, I spent a good minute or two looking all around for it, even moved my seat. Then I finally realized a piece of paper that had fallen on the floor was covering it. Somehow that piece of paper totally baffled me and it didn't occur to me to check under it for way too long.

I made myself mac&cheese for dinner and almost put my berry/pomegranate mio water in it instead of milk. My hand had the glass poised right over it ready to pour when I noticed what I was about to do. That would've been so disappointing.

I was mopping the floors today (what?!? Who am I?!?) and kept finding footprints in them. Ooooooh I was mad. "Quit walking on the wet floors!!!" I yelled at MH. Um, it was definitely my own footprints from my house slippers. $:\$ "> I just wasn't noticing myself stepping where I'd already mopped. After that I gave up and watched the Olympics instead.

I have to leave things on the floor in the store more than I care to admit. I try not to, but sometimes I just can't bend down to pick up whatever I dropped

Jennyinheaven · February 2014

I have more contact solution under the sink in the bathroom, but since I couldn't manage to bend down and locate it I just bought more. Also I dropped an entire bottle of iron supplements all over the bathroom, I didn't even try to save any, just brushed them all to the floor and swept them up and into toilet. Theme here my bathroom is getting increasingly hard to navigate!

Oh whatever I drop to the floor at work is just a lost cause...

But the other night I was making biscuits and gravy for my boys and I for dinner ... And grabbed the water jug out instead of the milk .. lucky I caught myself after only a splash of water .. that would have been some nasty gravy !!

I slightly pressed on the accelerator in my car instead of the brake when pulling into a parking spot. I caught myself when the car went a little faster than I expected and everything was fine. But lesson learned: Pay extra attention while driving.

I am mobile so can't see signatures, but I'm wondering if those of you who said you drop stuff and can't pick it up are FTMs? Cause I find that the second time around, there's stuff I thought I absolutely couldn't do that I have no choice but to do this time around!

keeumm · February 2014

This morning I made DH and me sausage and eggs for a sandwich. I threw away his sausage (for absolutely no reason) and put mine on my sandwich.

He came into the kitchen and asked where his sandwich was. I had to figure it out that I had thrown his sausage away, and he had to dig it out of the garbage.

So glad I am not the only one who was thinking this. I can understand it if someone has SPD or something equally painful, but otherwise we are all only at the end of 2nd tri or start of 3rd. It gets a helluva lot more challenging to pick stuff up (and more) from here on out. And ditto you @amroke that I am having to do things I didnt feel possible last time. A toddler and a deployed husband are good like that.

For me, I had a jacket on that is not maternity, so it's possible it was just a tad tight (as in, can barely button it). Bending over to get the markers would have split a seam/popped a button. I don't want to shoot anyone's eye out.

I fully admit it, though, I'm a FTM and not used to a lot of these new aches and pains. I give you all the credit in the world!

After grocery shopping, I stood in front of a car for a good 5 minutes trying to figure out why the button on my key wasn't unlocking it. Turns out it wasn't my car.

When I got home I put all the frozen foods in the refrigerator instead of the freezer. Good times.

DD's daycare teacher was laughing at me the other day because I had DD (2.5 y.o.) in my arms along with her paper for the day. Then I had to bend down at least twice to pick up her hat/scarf/mittens etc. that she kept "dropping." I'm sure it was quite the sight.

Agreed. Though the perk of having a toddler is that they think it's tons of fun when you ask them to pick something up and hand it to you.

My biggest pregnancy fail so far can definitely be attributed to pregnancy brain. My MIL asked me to add the text to the invites for my baby shower because the file they got was a jpeg and I have photo editing software. For the location, I wrote my SIL's maiden name - and she's been married for two years now. Oops. To be fair, my MIL, SIL, and sister all saw the finished file before they sent it out and no one noticed until my SIL got her copy of the invite.

This second time around I'm finding it much more difficult to bend over and do certain things than I did last time. Every things seems to be hitting me earlier the second time around! I get what you are asking, but I'm always irrationally annoyed with myself. It's like, "I've done this before! I should be used to it!"

OMG! I could swim in a pool of Chick fil la sauce!! I stock up on it so I can eat it with any place's nuggets!

I'm a second time mom ... However considering I am also 43 and not been pregnant in 21 years also have a job that has me on my feet all night long sometimes helping to stock shelves. I am also carrying this LO very low. Which makes it hard to get down and up already ( I'm 27 weeks and 4 days ) .. so yes with the aches and pains in my back and legs and the horrible indigestion and heartburn its just easier to leave things on the ground sometimes !!

nope, STM. Already about the size I was at 30 weeks last time (I'm 26 weeks). I *can* bend down if I absolutely have to, but it is not easy.

When doing laundry today, I realized that I forgot to add the laundry detergent to the first load. Didn't realize until it was already through the dryer. Oh well.

LoveIsAll25 · February 2014

I almost walked out of Target without paying for some items. The cashier came running after me right after I walked away from the checkout line. I was so embarrased. $:\$ "> I am sure she thought I was trying to steal. But I honestly forgot about those items.

For a split second I tried to use my tv remote to respond to a text message instead of my iPhone.

Cupcakes89 · February 2014

Couldn't unlock my husbands car today =(

kat8805 · February 2014

I don't bend over much because I typically have awful heartburn and indigestion that leaves me feeling like my last meal is perched at the back of my throat, ready to launch out at any given moment. Wasn't the same last pregnancy, only experienced heartburn once.

Miles2Go · February 2014

I was having a hard time trying to put on a pair of earrings. Then I realized the reason I couldn't get them in the holes was that I was already wearing a different pair of earrings.

Mimaloo · February 2014

I've been on the fence about whether or not I want a glider. I don't want one badly enough to drop a few hundred dollars because too many people I know say they rarely used it. So I found two on Craigslist - one that even has the tags on it!

Drove to pick up the one that matches our furniture (an hour away) and realized that I forgot to stop at the bank and get cash. Luckily, I realized this as I was sitting at a light, looked to my left and boom! There's my bank.

Get to the drive-through and what do I find? I forgot my debit card. No money. Had to drive an hour all the way back home. Oh well

First thing this morning I poured juice in my cereal bowl. I've been a total space cadet lately, and feel like I have to really focus to not do something totally stupid every few hours.
