Share your pregnancy brain moments

stephy_p · May 2017

I think we are all to the point we are having pregnancy brain moments, and I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we can share them and laugh with each other!

I just went to the restroom at work and noticed my underwear is inside out.

jena333-2 · May 2017

A couple weeks ago I brushed my teeth... about 4 minutes after I had finished it.

DPandMB · May 2017

OH so many. Most recent one I can think of, I left my keys in the fridge.

mercury94 · May 2017

The other day I started to get out of the car without turning it off or taking the keys out. I only noticed because it started beeping when I opened the door and I looked around to see what the problem was.

cmar1006 · May 2017

I asked my husband the same question 3 times in a row without realizing I had asked him and he had answered each time.

bnmort8 · May 2017

@cmar1006 I love that he answered anyway

All I can say is sticky notes are a life saver at work.

I am having so many pregnancy brain moments. Every morning I have to debate with myself if i took my medication or not. I have considered getting a pill box with the days of the week to just make sure i take them.

Also i am pretty sure some mornings I put on deodorant at least twice.

msashley2010-2 · May 2017

@Hopefulmommy1980 Better twice than not at all!

msashley2010-2 · May 2017

This is really embarrassing and I debating whether I wanted to post this. It is so bad lol.

My mouthwash and makeup remover are the same color and are in a similarly shaped bottle.

Who wants to guess which genius decided to apply mouthwash to a cotton ball and apply it like make up remover?

Thank GOODNESS I start with my face and NOT my eye makeup.

I am on team sticky note. Also, I totally got a pill box. It was important and has helped a ton.

I've also put my deodorant on twice several times... but today I forgot to do it at all! I realized while driving into work, but luckily a coworker had some.

Was at Starbucks and asked for a drink carrier and drink stoppers, they were both visible

OMG before I finished reading the entire thing. I was like ohhh no she put makeup remover in her mouth! lol

LosAngelesMama · May 2017

I actually haven't been too bad. The thing I struggle with the most is remembering names of things. Last night DH asked what I ate as a snack (edamame) and I couldn't remember what it was called for the life of me. I had literally go to the trashcan to look at what it's called. (I got the prepackaged kind that you just heat in the microwave).

CSL522 · May 2017

We're naming our daughter Scarlett, twice this past weekend I referred to her as Charlotte. No clue why, I think I was going to say "she" and Scarlett but my husband's just like.. that's not her name.

tfrangul · May 2017

@LosAngelesMama I am terrible at remembering the names of things when I'm pregnant. Lots of references to " that one thing."Lol

I brought lunch with me to work today. I don't know where it is. I remember getting it out of my car and carrying it up the stairs but I'm hungry already and it's just disappeared. It's not in my office. It's not in the kitchen. It's not on the counter next to the mail boxes. It's not in my boss's office. I even went back down to my car and it's not in there. I can't imagine anyone ate it - it's only 10 am. WHERE IS MY LUNCH?!?!

tfrangul · May 2017

@Lizlann I hope you find it soon! I become rather scary when I'm hungry. Not cool. Good luck!

^^^^this. Even pre-pregnancy, sometimes DH will look at me and quietly say, "....... do you need to eat?"

BigBadWolf12 · May 2017

this was from a while ago (I was 10 weeks then) I threw an egg across the kitchen... meant to throw the empty carton into the recycling bin....but actually threw the egg. and missed the bin. double whammy :P

Today I was baking a cake for my sister's birthday. I put the cake pans in the oven and set the timer for half the total amount of time the cake needed to bake. When the timer went off, I rotated the pans and reset the timer for the other half of the time. Except when I turned off the timer, I apparently also turned off the oven. When I went to check on the cake just before the timer went off the second time, I realized the oven was no longer on. So, the oven was off for at least 10 minutes. Fortunately it looks like I may have salvaged the cake by turning the oven back on after I realized it was off, but I won't be sure until we actually eat it...

Mozzafiato2016 · May 2017

I got in the shower with my socks on. My DH laughed for a while at my soaked socks lol.

kleshelle · May 2017

Went to Walmart to get ONE thing, walked out with 80$ worth.. got home to unpack then realized I didn't get the ONE actual item I went there for......

When I was pregnant with DS I had to make three trips to Walmart for contact solution. That was the only thing I needed and I walked out of there twice without it. Our Walmart is also in a different town forty miles away from us. So that was fun.

jena333-2 · May 2017

I put my dress on backwards three times in a row this morning. I just could not make my brain work.

stephy_p · May 2017

I just tried to unlock my house door with my car's key fob...from inside the house.

Rhubarb7216 · May 2017

I ordered some things from Old Navy last week. I realized today that they were supposed to have arrived on Thursday, so I checked the tracking. They were delivered on Wednesday...to my old address where I haven't lived for a year and a half. Even though I have ordered things from gap and old navy since we moved, the website keeps defaulting to the old address. This time I didn't catch it. It was a small condo building and I don't have a way of contacting the new owner but I do know one of the other unit owners so I'm hoping she can tell me if it got sent back or they still have it and I can go pick it up.

wineren · May 2017

I tried to unlock my car with my work radio key on Friday. :-/

MyNamesTaken · May 2017

I opened the dishwasher while it was running. I forgot I had turned it on 5 minutes before.

stephy_p · May 2017

I stood at work for a good minute in front of the elevator waiting for it before I realized I hadn't pushed the button to call it!

wineren · May 2017

@stephy_p I've done that at least three times.

@Lizlann I was just rereading this thread and laughing. Did you ever find it??

Hopefulmommy1980 · May 2017

I started making brownies and then 10 minutes before they were done I forgot and got in the shower. Luckily my dh heard the timer and took them out and turned off the oven

mercury94 · May 2017

I can literally never remember if I closed my garage. I have turned around every day on the way to work for weeks. If DH is driving, I ask every time if he closed the garage. It's pretty bad.

labby18 · May 2017

I forgot my in-law's address. It's super easy, and I could not for the life of me remember their house numbers. I had to text DH, and he was like "seriously?" then he told me, and I felt so stupid.

jena333-2 · May 2017

I tried to use my hand (eg: waving my hand in front of it) to gain entry to this card-activated door release. Twice.
