Pregnancy Brain

tmk0325 · February 2016

So... Who is all experiencing pregnancy brain? I figure there must be some entertaining stories out there and gifs.

Yesterday I was driving home after telling my girlfriend I was pregnant with twins and completely missed my exit. Took the wrong one and couldn't figure out where I was! Lol. Prior to that in the shower, I almost used my body wash as conditioner. Had it in my hands and was going for my hair before I noticed!

I have pregnancy brain something fierce. My most recent mishap was putting my favorite icecream in the fridge rather than the freezer. My husband found the soupy mess the next morning.

Nothing big here, just thought this post was funny timing. This morning I was freaking out looking for my keys that were literally right in front of me. H picks them up and looks at me... and I say "it's called pregnancy brain, its a real thing!"

MamaKSquared · February 2016

I totally have it. I forget simple words and call them other things. More than once, I've gone to open the trash can to get my dog's food at her dinner time. We don't even store the dog food in the same room as the trash can!

lblu43 · February 2016

Yup. Threw my car keys in the trash can at work, have almost left them in the ignition a few times.....forgetting basic words here and there, least my 6yr old thinks it's funny.

@lgem4 I am horrible at putting things or looking for things where they don't belong! I went to make coffee yesterday and stared in the fridge for at least 2 minutes looking for the coffee filters before I realized it. I think pregnancy brain gets worse with every pregnancy!

DH and I went to Home Depot a few weekends ago... Walked out 30 minutes later and realized I'd left the engine running on my Jeep. Luckily mine works off a key fob, and since the key fob was with me, no one could've driven off with it but still...

I can't remember how to speak. I'll be talking to people and stop mid sentence because I either forget what I'm talking about or forget the word I was going to say next. Yesterday I even forgot my husbands title at work while I was talking to someone and I thought that was really embarrassing. I've also suddenly been forgetting people's names.

cait5413 · February 2016

I have been forgetting things left and right and yesterday I almost ran out of gas on the way home because I forgot to fill up!

It's awful. Yesterday some girls from work and I went out to eat. We got back to the office parking garage and I was telling one of the girls how we always park by each other. I went on and on about it and while walking by the car I even thought, "it'd be nice to just get in my car and go home". Later when my husband was picking me up from work because our VW is in the shop it hit me. That wasn't even my car, just one that looks exactly like it. I'm officially losing my mind.

It's recently gotten bad. The other day I ended up taking someone else's work laptop back to my room including my own (I forgot I had already grabbed mine earlier in the day). It took almost 4 hours to find out where his was and good thing we did because it's a reportable item. I felt like such an idiot, good thing he has three kids so he knew to blame pregnancy brain. Still getting crap for it though.

I keep making silly mistakes when giving my students notes. I am pretty sure this morning I was corrected three times during notes. My students are lucky I give them candy when they catch my mistakes... I, on the other hand, am going to have to make a costco run for more candy.

1faceinacrowd · February 2016

This post is awesome.

I've had so many dumb moments. Walking into a room and forgetting why, leaving my lunch at home... The best one that I can remember was last week, I was looking all over my house for my phone. I was probably searching for a good 5 minutes before realizing that I was talking to my husband ON my phone while I was looking. He got a good laugh out of that one.

JEMN · February 2016

My husband drove to target and I left ny wallet and keys in the dressing room. He had to go back for them after I realized it. Thank goodness they were still there.

I am a teacher and talking in front of the class is so hard. I forget what I'm saying, can't think of the right words, and forget about calling the students by their names! I keep thinking I need to go ahead and tell them before they report me to the principal haha!

bearsandbeets7 · February 2016

Yesterday I couldn't find my debit card. I looked for it for a good 30 mins before just going to DH work to get his. Turns out it was in my wallet, where I looked about 10 times.

charmedlifex3 · February 2016

I walked out of a restaurant without my purse. Which I picked up, then set down on the chair, and walked away.

And right around the time we found out we were expecting, my husband had to drive 30 minutes to the town I work in because I lost my keys in the grocery store. No clue where, or how, but he brought the spare and sent me home. An hour later (and enlisting most of the store in the search) he came home with the keys, shaking his head. My husband is awesome.

Curls919 · February 2016

After my (also pregnant) friend left a plate at my house after a party I've seen her twice (both planned) and yet that damned plate is still on my kitchen counter!! I'm seeing her again next week. Maybe I'll set a reminder in my phone for the night before to put the plate in my car.

Doritoss · February 2016

Exited my car and closed the door then started looking for my keys. I turned around to see my car still running and the keys still in the inanition.

Walked to the corner of my block looking for my phone that I thought I had dropped. It was in my pocket the whole time.

emmeline714 · February 2016

This week.has been bad for me lol left things I purchased at store, tell my banker I'm on four trimester lol

emmeline714 · February 2016

Instead of four months

JournoGrl23 · February 2016

@DoritossI'm embarrassed to say I've done that before while not pregnant. I left my keys in the ignition with the car running and locked and didn't notice until the next morning when I was greeted with a dead battery and no way to get in the car. Not one of the high points of my life, haha.

Duffgurl · February 2016

Oh it has begun lol.

So I enjoyed a nice piece of pie with ice cream. Then I decided just a moment ago I needed to eat some Krave cereal and what's sitting in my fridge....ice cream

whoops. DH just laughed and said pregnancy brain.

texasmama2014 · February 2016

2 weeks ago I left my phone at a laundromat. I didn't even notice until 2 hours later, by then someone has picked it up and brought it to their house. Luckily, find my iPhone located it and a cop went by and recovered it for me...

Jengle77 · February 2016

ha! I love this. I will add mine.

Twice now i have left with only half my make up done. I NEVER go out without my make up. First time I forgot all my eye make up (powder, liner, mascara). The second time i literally did half my face...like full on powder, eyes, everything.

I put salt on my cinnamon and sugar bagel the other morning.

I forgot how to use my remote for like 2 minutes last night.

I forget words mid sentence so I just say "oh forget it you know what I mean". Ummm...no he doesn't!

rojones0511 · February 2016

Recently went to the store to pay a bill. Bill paid, left the store, went shuffling for my car keys and even yelling at my niece to see if she had them. Realized they were in the car, in the ignition, and turned on the whole time... In a very busy parking lot. Smh!!!

iambrisus · February 2016

I definitely have it too at random moments. I forgot what a fridge was called and was talking to my husband and said, "ya know... the white box... that thing... ugh..." He just laughed at me. I felt so stupid!

I've been very forgetful (totally unlike me) and forget mid-sentence what I'm saying some times!

bearsandbeets7 · February 2016

The other week my husband and I went going to the grocery store. The next morning I couldn't find my keys anywhere. Apparently when I put DD in her car seat I sat my keys on top of the car and left them. DH found them on a whim on his way to work cause I told him to keep an eye out for them. They were about a mile and a half away from our house laying on the side of the road. That's probably my worst mom/pregnancy brain moment yet.

Stephanie7693 · February 2016

Last night I backed out of my garage, started to turn into the extra space on the side of the driveway to turn around, totally forgot my mom's car was there and backed into her passenger door. Put a nice big dent in it and took off half the mirror. I have NEVER hit another car before! But thankful it was my moms, and in my own driveway lol. I've had the worst pregnancy brain yet with this one (#3).

tmk0325 · February 2016

So embarrassed... Today I went to Aldis to pick up about $20 worth of groceries. Not much but I only had $7 in cash. Forgot they don't take credit cards (after I tried to use it), so I go to use my debit card and can not for the life of me remember my pin! Tried about 6 different ones and nothing. It's not like I never use my card either, I probably use it once a week where I need to enter a pin! I had a grouchy old lady along with a whole line of people behind me, so I had to just leave everything there. The cashier was like do you want to come back? I was like no, I'll just go to the other grocery store.

AliKay20 · February 2016

As a FTM, I heard of pregnancy brain before but I didn't think too much of it. I mean, we all get a bit forgetful at times, right?

But now I'm beginning to think this shit is real. These are things I normally wouldn't forget about (started last wk and is continuing onto this week!!):

1. I forgot my wallet yesterday so my boss had to lend me $20 for parking (when I thanked him, he replied, "no problemom.")

2. I forgot where I left my water bottle and had zero clue that I even forgot it in the office for days! I got an email from the office saying a water bottle has been found lol DH has been asking where it went for days so I casually asked the office coordinator if the bottle looked like x, y, z and she said "yep! That's the one!"

3. There was one more thing...and I am now blanking out.

Shit just got so real...it's like I don't even know who I am anymore...
