Lets hear those embarrassing/idiotic/hilarious pregnancy brain moments! Annnnnnnd GO!

lgsdesigner · January 2015

This happened last week:
I was playing on my phone during lunch and realized my break was almost over. I stand up with phone in hand and start cleaning up my area. I have a freak out moment because I can't find my phone! I look under the table, on the chair, by the microwave, etc. I get all sweaty and angry because I have no effin clue where I left it.
A coworker walks in and sees me frantically searching and asks what I'm looking for. I say loudly "I can't find my phone!!" She starts giggling and grabs my hand to show me I am holding it.

I was in Motherhood Maternity and they wanted my address. I 100% could not remember my own street number. We've lived there since August. It wasn't even a momentary thing, it was a complete blank. I had to look it up on my phone. Luckily the saleslady was also pregnant and just laughed and said the same thing happens to her all the time.

@robotpcr - I do that a lot with my phone number. It's not like you call yourself!

Filled the bird feeder with dog food last week. :-(

@lgsdesigner‌ I have done that too!

I wanted cereal for breakfast one morning so I took down the box off of the refrigerator, took out my almond milk, and grabbed a spoon. I sat down and almost started to pour cereal on the table until I realized that I didn't have a bowl. I got up to go get a bowl and forgot what I needed so I sat down. Once again, I almost did the same thing with the cereal. I finally said I'm going to take the cereal with me to get my bowl so I can remember.

I went to check out and wanted to "price match" something but couldn't get "price match" out of my mouth.i just went blank! Luckily DH was with me and told the cashier what I wanted.

I add water to my dog's food every morning and night. It makes a nice warm gravy and she likes it better that way. Anyway, I have a Brita pitcher in the fridge located right next to the almond milk and I poured almond milk in her food this morning instead of the water.

@T1green - I bet your pooch loved that! Probably thought it was a special treat.

saralynn91 · January 2015

I was in the shower and put conditioner on my scrubby instead of body wash and it took me a bit to understand why it wasnt getting soapy.

kateamart · January 2015

I keep forgetting my co-workers names (and I've been at my job for 5 years). I'll be trying to refer to someone in conversation, and totally blank. A couple of times I've just pretended to lose my train of thought, so I wouldn't have to admit that I forgot their names!

gsancho · January 2015

My old college roommate's birthday is a few days after mine and we used to always celebrate together. I usually remember the date, even though she's not on Facebook for me to see as a reminder.

On the week of her bday, I called on Wednesday thinking it was the day - she reminded me it was actually on Saturday (coming up). I called a few days later to say happy bday - she told me her bday was still on Saturday and I was calling her on Friday. I called again the following Monday, thinking I finally got it right! Totally missed her bday, but it made for a good laugh.

Snapdragon750 · January 2015

I took my kids with MIL to the mall last week, and after we got everyone in the car and I was ready to go, MIL asked me the seemingly stupid question, "Did you put the stroller in the trunk?"

No, in fact I had not. Thanks, MIL!!! Really!!

TeacherMom2015 · January 2015

I'm sitting in my classroom and they're using it for an afterschool program. I'm trying not to laugh out loud while I read these.

A few weeks ago I was typing an email on my computer. I needed to look up a date on the computer. I spent a good 5-7 minutes looking for my computer. The one I was using to type the email. LoL

ETA: I forgot another one that cracked me up. I've been having a lot of trouble remembering the word for things. The other day my boyfriend asked where he should put something and I clearly said "put it on the hot tub." We live in a one bedroom apartment and certainly don't have a hot tub. I clearly meant coffee table.

lgsdesigner · January 2015

@Beeorange - Now every time I eat a Butterfinger, I will think about you.

SeventyThree · January 2015

Always love these threads!

I forget words for things all the time. I'd share the funny stories but I've forgotten most of those, too.

This morning I was clearing some things off the kitchen counter and wondered aloud when we got a bag of apples... until I realized I was looking at a bag of red potatoes. Which really look nothing at all like apples.

melissak1q · January 2015

Last night I was emptying the dishwasher and took out a glass that has a heavy indention on the bottom. I clearly identified it as having water collected in the indention. I considered my options to dispose of said water and promptly poured it on the floor all the while saying in my head, "What the hell are you doing?!"

jenbueschel · January 2015

Yesterday our apartment had a pipe burst, we had to relocate to a hotel until the damage was fixed. In packing to stay at the hotel I forgot my hairbrush and BRAs...

breezyweezer · January 2015

I called a seahorse a starfish. Definitely not the worst pregnancy brain moment, but as it is the most recent one it is the only one I can remember.

rosikiwi · January 2015

I'm a teacher. Sometimes I can't call my student by name... I just point

khaleesi123 · January 2015

My sister called me for my cars kilometres so she can help me get my car registration so I went downstairs to check and instead parked my car in the garage and went back upstairs without even checking.. This was all within minutes.

LimaD · January 2015

Over the past week I've misplaced my phone in the refrigerator and emptied the clothes from the dryer into the washer. I'm not quite sure how either of those happened.

I also seem to have developed a stammer. When I'm talking it's like my mind fills in the blanks with the wrong words and I end up sounding like an idiot

amalama · January 2015

I just have a really hard time with words lately. I keep either totally forgetting the word I am looking for or say things with funny pronunciations. I can't think of any examples right now either!

emu0013 · January 2015

My only job yesterday was to turn on crock pot with chili DH made, I put it in, turned it to high, DH got home and said how long has this been in, I said hours, he said its ice cold, I said WTH I just bought this crock pot, he looked closer and it was unplugged.....
:P

mewylde · January 2015

I have left the house and gotten halfway to my destination in my slippers instead of real shoes... Twice.

Ibliss · January 2015

When leaving to go to the grocery store I loaded up DD and the diaper bag (where I usually keep my wallet). At the end of my road I panicked and turned around, walked in the front door looking for my wallet before realizing my mistake. My in-laws just stared at me before asking if I forgot something. I quickly mutter something about pregnancy brain and left again.

Ballet80 · January 2015

I got lost going to my dentist office today, I have been going there since I was 5. I had to call my mother for directions, she seemed really disturbed. She said if I didn't know you were pregnant, I would swear you have had a stroke... Oh well 20 more weeks of stupid to go!

melissak1q · January 2015

Couldn't think of "dental floss" and called it tooth string. Sigh.

peteresa · January 2015

My family and I were eating at a restraunt and the waitress asked me when I was due, for the life of me I could not remember the months, I looked at my husband frantically and he could see my "deer in the headlights" expression....he proceeded to say March and then I "came to" and answered "MAY", the waitress kinda looked at me like I was lying....darn pregnancy brain and darn husband for not knowing when I'm due!!!!! Lol

This happens to me when I'm trying to talk to my OB, I sound like a complete moron!!!! I think he might wonder if I really went to college for 6 yrs...bahahahaha

McBaby19 · January 2015

I can't think of any I've had recently. But I thoroughly enjoy these threads! Yay for pregnancy brains!

Today I found a wrapped Butterfinger Jingle Bell in my cleavage... I have no clue when I put it in there or why.

A month or so ago I took a shower and shaved half of my vagina. I can understand shaving one leg and not the other but half the vag? Really, self? Also, a half shaved vag looks hilarious.

In my last pregnancy I was so fixated on shaving my vag that I completely forgot to shave my EXTREMELY HAIRY LEGS, talk about embarrassing when my OB said, "why do you shave your vagina and not your legs???, it should be the other way around"...I just about died!!!!

lakingsfan2015 · January 2015

I have been thinking I have 16 weeks left. I will have my c-section at 37 weeks and I am 19 weeks. Except 19+16=35 so I really have 18 weeks left

peteresa · January 2015

I started getting Birthday cards sent to my house and I was totally caught off guard, I forgot my birthday is less than 1 week away, all my focus has been on my 18 month old and the baby so I forgot all about it...dang I'm getting old!!!!

Lezzie82 · January 2015

I have overfilled the jacuzzi three times now. One was scary close to leaking water on the floor.

The third time I tried to hide it from
MH. We were sitting on the couch and suddenly I remembered but I tried to casually walk up instead of doing my usual "OH SHIT" and running upstairs lol. He still found out and made fun of me.

growingbelly0515 · January 2015

I completely forgot February existed this year. My shower is the last weekend of March and I was convinced we needed to be registered by this weekend because the shower was only 7 weeks away. I argued with my mom about the time lapse until she finally, very slowly made me say "January, February, and THEN March" with her. I felt dumb but then excited I have more time to prepare for May!

Princessbuttercup515 · January 2015

After DS got out of his bath I asked DH to get him "clothesed" instead of dressed.

chemmom1 · January 2015

I washed my hair with bodywash today...I didn't realize what I had done until I was all lathered up. I've gotten compliments on my hair at work so maybe I should consider keeping that up!

u197034 · January 2015

On Sunday we had a late lunch at a friend's house (2pm). Afterward we went home, put DD down for a nap and put on movie. A couple hours later I was really craving some leftover alfredo and went to heat it up. About that time DD got up and I thought, I might as well heat up a bunch of leftovers for dinner while I'm at it. I get finished and tell DD and DH that dinner's ready. It wasn't until they both said they weren't hungry that I realized it was only 4:30pm and we had eaten a full lunch merely two and a half hours ago! I felt crazy!

jhodgesl91 · January 2015

My pregnancy brain moment is probably going to cost me a lot of money. I had my power turned off before my water, now I could have busted pipes and all kinds of trouble!! I need to get it together

OnceInLoveWithAmy · January 2015

OMG, I am legit laughing out loud at some of these.

I swear, my brain packed up and left because I can't remember anything anymore.

I introduced myself to someone using my maiden name. I've been married for over 4 years.

I ran an entire wash cycle with no clothes in the washer. When I heard the washer was done, I opened it, saw no clothes, opened the dryer, saw no clothes and was royally confused.

My husband swears he's had so many conversations with me that I straight up don't remember.

..and I am sure there are more, but I can't remember. Because... pregnancy brain.

Almost got into the shower with my socks on, this morning.
