  I'll take Mommy Brain over Pregnant Brain any day! The only exception would be the first 3 weeks after she got here. That was 10x worse than anything, I think from surgery recovery and lack of sleep. I tried to get her dressed without putting a diaper on her more than once, forgetting the ends of sentences that I started speaking, etc. Pregnancy brain was bad for me near the end, but my BP was the highest it's ever been so I blame that.

  I went into the grocery store with two different shoes on the week after H was born. I meant to change them and only did one before I got distracted by the baby and the other 3. It was solid:)

  About the same but I've always been a ditz.
  Pregnant brain saw me put anything and everything in the fridge (car keys, pens, cup of hot coffee I'd just poured...).

  
  

  Mommy brain has me going to the store to return something and leaving it at home. Standing there with the thing in my hand but totally forgetting what I was doing. Going upstairs to shower and coming down an hour later having vacuumed, tidied DD1's room and listed something on ebay but still un-showered. Also wore a shirt backwards for most of the day before someone told me.

  
  

  The best one so far was the pregnancy brain that made me forget how to drive. I was in the parking lot, in my car, seatbelt fastened...could not remember how to make the car go so just sat there in confusion for 10 minutes. I drive Prius so you turn it on and you go (don't even need to put the key in because it's magic), it's not difficult and still foxed me.

  Mommy brain. Dh tells me things over and over and I can't remember. I make plans and can't remember them. Get in the car and start driving and can't remember where I'm g going....it's got to be the lack of sleep

  Mommy brain for sure! When I was pregnant, I was forgetful but not like I am now. I forget to do things all the time. Today I went for my 6 week appointment, and the nurse asked me for a urine sample. I went into the bathroom and walked out empty handed. I forgot to pee in the cup.

  They're equally bad, but now I'm vaguely worried one of these days that I'll walk outside with a boob hanging out and not notice. I've been so tired I can't think of names of common things like my nursing pillow.

  I've been to Walmart three times in the past two days for envelopes and formula. The second trip I remembered formula but not envelopes so had to go back today.
  
  I forgot to eat lunch yesterday. I fed DS and put him down for nap then wanted to do a few bills and such before DD woke up hungry next thing I knew DH was calling saying he was heading homing and it was 4pm.
  
  I forgot to put shoes on the other day until after the door was locked and I was heading to the car.

  Mommy brain only because this just happened... Drove 45 mins with my parents, DH, and DD to TopGolf. Had a great time and drove home. Yeah.... Phone was still at the golf place. Good thing we supplement in the evening and I could turn around and spend 1 1/2 hrs in the car to get it. Ugh. Ultimate fail.

  Pregnancy brain was the worst for me! I could barely remember my own name! Once this whole newborn sleep deprivation is over I can't wait to be able to think normally again!

  Pregnancy brain was way worse for me. I couldn't remember a thing, and annoyed my older kids asking them the same question over and over. Now I can actually remember things, although it's sad when hearing information now that I think is new and find out later I actually already knew that information from when I was pregnant. I'm writing off having to remember anything from when I was pregnant and starting fresh! If I forget something now it's only from doing too much, not from simply not being able to remember.
