Pregnancy Brain

[Hopeful]

Ok so today I ran into a store to grab a soup for lunch. On the way out I'm rummaging through my purse to find my car keys, but I couldn't find them. To my surprise I had left the doors unlocked, the keys were inside and the car was still running. I had no recollection not shutting my car off and taking my keys out. A friend was with me and thought it was hilarious...me, not so much.

Is it normal to do weird stuff like this....I never ever leave my car unlocked let alone running when I'm not in it.

I might not be of much help, but I do that all the time. I heard its from an overactive brain, which signals intelligence

I heard that you get forgetful in pregnancy and the brain is shrinking!

Does not really sound nice, does it?

I am having moments where I've just forgotten what I thought about to do a minute before and sometimes I even feel like I am not able to write an email to a friend as I cannot concentrate on it

They say this will go after birth!
(like everything else, swollen ancles, heartburn etc...)

Hopefully

So, you are saying that I had better just get used to it

Maybe I'll blame it on my cold...and keep my hopes up that my brain will begin to function normally again soon.

Thanks ladies!!
