Pregnancy Brain Blunders

diamond7986 · August 2014

We all have done something silly or confusing because of our pregnancy brain. Let's share!
Mine so far would be that being totally careless with a candle in glass in a store and dropped it, shattering glass everywhere. Oh and also not looking twice before making a right turn and causing a minor car accident

I put $100 in my kitchen so we'd have it for groceries when we got home from vacation. We've been home almost a week and I still can't find it

I tried paying for my lunch with my insurance card, also forgot to put a bra on and noticed halfway on my way to work

I have put four different open bottles of ranch and on gallon of milk into the pantry and didn't rediscovery them until morning.

Wasn't paying attention to my surroundings and got my first speeding ticket a couple weeks ago.

( And now, I'll be in a full on conversation with someone, and completely forget what I say in the middle of me saying it! And two days ago, I forgot to close the sunroof in my car and it flash flooded that night. The interior of my car, the next morning, looked as sad as a wet dog.....

Just easily distracted. Filling a glass of water, walk out of the kitchen come back to the sound of water on the floor.

Dropping stuff, all the time, especially at work and I'm a nurse so I have to keep reassuring patients I haven't dropped a person yet.

Yesterday I put a box of cereal in the fridge and the milk in the pantry. Glad I noticed it a few minutes later rather than hours....

Left my tote bag in front of hotel reception desk after checking in. DH had to go back down and get it 20 minutes later - luckily it was still there!

At least you noticed. DH found milk in the pantry latter that night

I'm really bad about leaving things out of the fridge now. My other pregnancy brain induced problems all include forgetting words, losing my train of thought mid-sentence and saying things the wrong way. Today I told my husband that he must come off as smart at work. He was very offended that I would imply he is dumb. It took a while to get that thought full circle.

Eta: can I blame pregnancy brain for all my typos?

Omg, so this for me: the dropping and knocking over of everything. My 3-year-old keeps asking me why I'm knocking things down by accident. I tell her I'm just being clumsy (we already "blame" me being tired all the time on the baby; don't want to pile it on!). The other day I said that again and she said: "you clumsy A LOT, mommy." Thaaaaaaanks. $:\$ ">

Mascara on just one eye. That was a good look.

Forgetting to pee in the cup at OB's office...went about my business with the cup in hand. Luckily I noticed and was able to get some in the cup.

Love them all, ladies! Keep the stories coming!

Grabbed the blanket off the dog bed to wash it....it's been 4 days and i still have no idea where it ended up. Not in the washer. It's completely mia.

Headed to my car for work in yoga pants. Thankfully, DH was home & asked me if I planned to put scrubs on that night.
Another night, I couldn't figure out what I did with my socks when I got to work. Found them in my lunchbox when I went to get a snack hours later.

Wimcgrath · August 2014

Some of you have great stories! I don't really have any funny ones. I mainly just forget words or lose track of what I'm saying as I'm saying it... Just makes me look flaky!

mom2xover2002 · August 2014

Going to get food for dinner the other night and completely blanked out on what I was ordering in the drive thru. My spelling has gone to crap at work for all the emails I have to send. Driving right past my house after work and having to make the block.

erobbins09 · August 2014

Had a cooler full of food and it was my job to put it away yesterday when we got home... Just discovered it.... A few items in there were definitely on the list of things going into tonight's dinner..

Edit: hahaha forgot I wasn't done typing this and submitted it half way done

that's awesome...

Went to the pool with DS today. I always pack snacks and drinks in my bag. My son came over and asked for some graham crackers. So I reached in my bag and grabbed my wallet. Only after opening the wallet did I realize that was not the place to look for crackers.

elysek18 · September 2014

Mowed the yard today and couldn't figure out why there was so much grass coming out of the mower. We have the type of lawn mower that has a bag to catch it. It wasn't until I went to empty the bag that I realized I never put it on the mower in the first place. Ugh!

I keep losing things. My husband just laughs at me while I am frantically looking for keys, hair brush, cell phone, etc. He told our friends last weekend that he is considering starting a blog called "Shit my wife lost while she was pregnant." I didn't find it very funny. I feel like a moron that I am constantly losing everything.

Also, I am an English teacher and last week was the first week back for students. I had a really hard time spelling words on the board (I'm an exceptional speller normally), and I also could not figure out the right words to use quite a few times. I am sure my honors students think I'm a complete idiot. Maybe I need to explain pregnancy brain to them so they don't tell their parents that they have an incompetent teacher.

I went with my friend to pick up pizza, even though it was just down the street I forgot to put my seat belt on (I ALWAYS WEAR A SEATBELT). When we got back I went to try and unbuckle and I realized I was never buckled in the first place. I said "OMG I wasn't wearing my seat belt!" and she was like "I know, didn't you hear my car beeping when we were driving?" and I said No!! I literally did not even notice. She laughed and said "Pregnancy brain!"

I took a customer's sandwich out of the oven & threw it in the sink because I thought it was a dirty dish. Oops

hayleymesmer · September 2014

Ive stopped talking mid-scentence and forgot what i was talking about. Also i couldnt find my phone and it was in my hand -.-

hopefulsprout · September 2014

^ This! I freaked out over the weekend because I couldn't find my phone at a friends b-day party. I looked "everywhere" and finally asked DH. He just pointed to my hand. Sigh.

lalans · September 2014

I left a big thing of grapes in the trunk after shopping and didn't find them for a few days. I was very sad. I really really wanted them!

meganrosie · September 2014

Tripping over EVERYTHING! Small rises in the parking lot, blankets,shoes, stairs... Always scared I will fall hard and hurt the baby! Can't imagine once I get big and unbalanced how it will be.

17wks first time mom!
