I've just become stupid in general.

I'll ask what the date is, and then ask again a minute later. I cannot retain ANY information whatsoever and that's all my job is. I can't remember if I've done something or asked anyone else to do something.

I also have no energy whatsoever,

I despair.

I got halfway through measuring out my cereal the other morning when I realized Id picked up the hamster food instead. It's not even kept in the same cupboard!!!

 

[LadyBelle]

I also suffer from this too I have done loads of little things, like shaving the same leg twice and forgetting about the other one. Forgetting to give people messages! Oh, I am sure I can come up with a ton more but it would require thinking

 

[Cattie]

At least you realised before you started eating it! I put the kettle in the fridge yesterday.....

 

[MrsEngland]

I go into rooms to get something then completely forget why i've gone in there.
The other morning i was looking for my keys couldn't find them anywhere and i'd left them in the front door over night! Whoops!

 

[StrawberryJam]

Hairspray under the arms instead of deodorant... The list is endless, however I can't remember where I put the list
xx

The only thing I've been forgetting lately is whether or not I took my medication for the day. Thankfully, I've not had the dreaded pregnancy brain!

I was making coffee and cereal this morning, and put coffee and sugar in the cup whilst kettle was boiling, then I poured the mini weetabix................................................. into the coffee cup, lol I had to pick it out (about 5 pieces) luckily my breakfast didnt taste of coffee nor did the coffee have floaty bits in it!!!! I told myself off for being so silly!!

I'm having trouble remembering when I last washed my hair, I've given up and decided I'll wash it as I don't have the energy to remember if I did it this morning!
I've got a little notepad which has notes on everything from shopping lists, to train times to questions for the midwife. Trouble is I forgot I had my notepad in my handbag when I went to the midwife today, doh!

 

[Starmoon]

Ooh me, I do silly stuff all the time. Unfortunately my job requires me to be extremely alert (emergency services) and I find myself checking and checking again that I have done things correctly. It is annoying because I pride myself on being on the ball usually!

 

[Faff&Fidget]

Hooray!! Its not just me!!

I call it mince brain.. I have good days and bad days.

I forget something that someone has only just told me. For instance, I made an appointment at the hairdressers today. As soon as i'd walked out the door i'd forgotten the day i'd booked it for so I went back in to ask again. The stylist wrote it on a card for me. Good idea. Until I got into the car and realised i'd left it on the counter. Of course I went back to get it. Luckily there was a customer waiting who was due her baby any day and she had explained to the women there about pregnancy brain so I didn't feel a fool walking back in again!!

Also, I went to see the midwife this morning. Mislaid my sample bottle and could not remember where i'd put it. Wasn't until I left the surgery that I had a horrible thought. I'd packed it in with my OH's lunch for the day.. Ooopsie!!! He had a huge shock when he opened his bag at tea break!!

I wonder what i'll do next!!

 

[smiffy85]

Lol! I am laughing so hard at the silly things I can barely type lol!!!!!

My most recent stupid thing is when I was making onion gravy to have with tea tonight I took the pan off the hob, poured some granules in and then put the jar of granules back onto the lit hob!!!! Luckily I realised straight away and glad it wasn't a cardboard bisto container but a glass jar! Silly baby brain!

Me and my TA at school have been laughing loads about this as she has menopausal brain and I have baby brain!!! We have no hope!! xx

 

[minkymoo]

I forgot to mention the amount of spoons I've thrown in the bin instead of the yoghurt pots.....

Omg that's hilarious, I almost choked on my tea!

My favourite so far of mine is when I saw the thread on here called "Anyone gave birth in Woolwich?" and genuinely thought... "what, the bank?" I'm quite bright really, honest!

I also suspect I might be shampooing my hair at least 3 or 4 times in the morning, but I can never remember if I have or not!

 

[princess-emma]

ha ha girls these are great..... isnt being pregnant fun...lol...xxx

 

[pinkneon]

I'm usually pretty forgetful but since being pregnant it's got so much worse! I rang my surgery yesterday to cancel an appointment ... That I hadn't even made!! I keep forgetting about my dinner and the other day I put shampoo in the washing machine ... Oops!

I poured my Coco Pops into my cup of tea this morning!!

 

[mazee71]

Yay I'm not alone, I had a foggy brain when pg with #3 but never this bad, OH hasn't had a dinner thats not burnt in at least a week. I've told everyone in work now which makes things a bit easier as they are more forgiving of my scatterbrained ways

 

[whoops]

I did that this morning! Could not remember, for the life of me, whether I'd already put conditioner in!
