Those with other kiddos

Ok, this is my second pregnancy (to make it past 8 weeks) and my husband said I already have pregnancy brain this time around! I have to admit it's really bad! Words are disappearing, things are getting left random places, I'm forgetting names.... It's pretty bad! I was wondering if anyone else is noticing their pregnancy brain settling in earlier this time around! Makes me a little scared for what it would be like with number 3 or 4! Lol

    Yup, that was sadly my first pregnancy symptom right at 4ish weeks.

    Last pregnancy and DS's entire first year I brought a notebook with me EVERYWHERE at work, joking that it was my "brain". That was the only way I could cope without forgetting everything anyone told me. I even had to stop them mid-sentence so I could take notes. But...I thought of it as similar to a temporary learning disability. Something I could compensate for as long as I successfully advocated for myself.

    Anyway, my notebook has been back ever since right before my BFP.

    That's a really good idea! I remember that with my first pregnancy! I would tell me boss "don't talk to me unless you see the notebook otherwise I'm can't be held responsible!" And I remember him bringing me the notebook several times so he could talk to me!

    It's not so bad now that I'm 12 weeks but it was really bad before I knew I was pregnant. DH kept saying pregnancy brain and I'd respond but without the pregnancy. Lo and behold... Luckily I never had it to the point that it affected my kids. I'd forget where I put things or put things in the wrong spot (milk in the cabinet) but never affect my child's care thank goodness.

    I don't think my pregnancy brain ever went away after my frist ;)

    Definitely more pronounced this time around. Some days I feel like I'm going insane.

    Depends on the day but don't ask me what we talked about two nights ago bc I won't be able to tell you.  DH sent me an address to a yard sale we wanted to go to on Saturday.  On the way to said yard sale he asked me for directions.  I was so confused until he reminded me about the text message.  Once I opened the listing I still had trouble seeing the address.  He was really frustrated but I had to remind him that my body has been hijacked.

    I love making notes for myself.  Everything goes into my work calendar and my phone calendar.
