Pregnancy Brain

ANZ116 · March 2016

Hey November mamas! I am 4w3d and already have HORRIBLE pregnancy brain. Anyone else experiencing this?

DunkinDecaf · March 2016

Yup. Stuck my wallet in the fridge the other day, and almost added milk to my daughter's juice bottle instead of my coffee. Good times.

I opened and drained cans of salmon to make burgers the other night...I rinsed the salmon under running water. WTF lol.

ShallowSeas · March 2016

YES. Sometimes I catch myself staring off thinking, "What was I going to do...? what should I be doing right now...? what is happening right now...?"

STORY TIME!

So I'm getting my son ready in the morning to take him to daycare so I can go to work. I've done all my normal morning checks begging him every step of the way to hurry up (you know that sorta thing). Then I get the dog in her cage I'm out the door the kid is behind me I've shut and locked the door, I'm down in the yard headed towards the car and my son is on the porch. I yell over to him "C'MON HURRY UP WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" then he responds "But.... mom... I don't have any shoes".

Sure enough... kid has no shoes lol. Back inside got the shoes we survived the morning but LOL.

Yes! I have been forgetting EVERYTHING! You name it! Shoes, water bottle, watch, lunch. It is crazy!

Showed up an hour early for a regular meeting that I have had at the same time for the past three years...just forgot to read the hour hand on the clock lol

Honestly I feel like my pregnancy brain never went away from my first and that was almost 3 years ago ha ha. Aggghhh. If I dont write things down Im doomed.

ANZ116 · March 2016

I'm glad I'm not alone!! I lost my key fob to get in/out of work over lunch today! I literally have no idea where it went. Not to mention I cant seem to complete a sentence because I can't think of certain words for the life of me. I sound like a complete idiot!

I was with my mother in law at the Philly Flower Show and I was buying a few bouquets but I couldn't decide what I wanted. She looked at me with fear in her eyes and said "omg it's starting already! It's sucking all of the energy from your brain." Lol

MollySm · March 2016

Aw, @whaat , I love the Philly Flower show!

aquasocks · March 2016

Yes. I'm usually super organized and have a great memory. I'm a total dum-dum now and I misplace my phone, keys, everything.

beforeyou · March 2016

omg I can NEVER remember my phone anymore. I lose it everywhere in my house, well I think it's lost but it's usually like, right in front of my face, or in the room I just left.

Lost my keys going out the door this morning...they were in my back pocket. I also couldn't do math to save my life earlier when DH and I were talking about ages. Like embarrassingly bad.

MissAmeliaPond · March 2016

So this hasn't happened since the couple of days right before I got my BFP, but I totally felt like I was forgetting to breathe sometimes... Just regular forgetfulness right now. We'll see how it plays out, though.

aquasocks · March 2016

Also, I will pick up my phone or tablet to check something online and then immediately forget what it was. Then I end up here.

pinnerk · March 2016

Haha glad I'm not the only one.
I have a bad case of strep throat and a very swelled up vulva so I went to a walk in clinic to get a prescription. Then walked to the pharmacy to get it filled and was told 30 mins and they will call my name.
So I stroll the store, grab a few munchies for a movie night and decide to grab subway.
Then I just left.
Came home.

A few hours later I got a call about my prescription. I cannot believe I forgot. I actually felt so dumb.

jdebaie · March 2016

I left an entire container of ice cream out on the counter for HOURS and didn't notice.

laurenlalap · March 2016

I bought maternity clothes on my lunch hour. I walked back into the office, passed about 20 people with my HUGE bag that had MOTHERHOOD MATERNITY written on it.

I didnt even realize what I'd done until a few hours later.

The jig is up I think.

NatashaSprout · March 2016

I was using the Flashlight app on my phone to try and find my phone under the seat of my car

beforeyou · March 2016

My parents are out of town so I stopped by tonight to feed the dog and cat and hang out for a bit. My mom left a huge note on the counter detailing the meds our dog takes and when to give them and I read through it all. I've been here an hour and a half (feet away from the note the whole time) and only JUST NOW noticed that she left a massive case of perrier sparkling water and kohls cash with a big note on it saying "For *peachykeen* and DD" (DD is what we call our little bebe) right next to the note. RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

kmmnocal · March 2016

We have a pull-out trashcan behind a cabinet face, right next to the dishwasher. I have been throwing trash in the dishwasher ALL DAY. My husband just found it all.

okashimochi · March 2016

I took the kids to Target to get a birthday gift, but as soon as I walked in, I turned around and walked back out. I had no idea why I went there until I had gotten home.

pinnerk · March 2016

Hahaha. So I have 10000% been saying it wrong.
My brain really hurts.
I even bitched about this swelled up vulva on Facebook.
Theirs no hope for me lol.

mrsasolomon · March 2016

I put spaghetti sauce in the crockpot the other day, cooked the meat, managed to remember the recipe so put everything in there I usually do. And.... Forgot to plug it in. Husband realized it later and luckily plugged it in so dinner was saved but yea. Then took after dinner put the left over sauce away, took the insert thing out to wash and forgot to turn the dang thing off. LoL

MrsDho11 · March 2016

So many of these are things I do even without being pregnant... I have a terrible memory!

that using the flashlight on the phone to try to find the phone thing? All. The. Time.
