Pregnancy brain (or lack of)  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Ok, am I the only one that seems to have lost my brain since becoming pregnant. This happend with my first pregnancy too, but this time it is worse as I didn't fully recover my "full brain function" back before getting pregnant again. (hum, maybe thats how I got pregnant ha ha ha)

anyway here are some of my dumb and DANGEROUS things I have done lately:

1. last week, I left the burner of HIGH after cooking oatmeal. Nothing on the burner just a screaming red coil and I left the room, DH found it 5 min. later.

2. a while ago I burned my cloth lunch bag as I put it on top of the burning red hot stove top coil and thought nothing of it until I smelled this horrific chemical stink. (sigh)

3. just mailed a" bill" with out even putting the check into the envelope, not only did I not put the check in the envelope, I didn't even right out the check or even take the check book out of my pocket book.

Oooooh yeah. Put a potholder on a hot burner, then put a pot down on top of it. Um...hello? Didn't realize it until the smoke started...
Light candles, then go to bed....dh finds them, but still...
I am currently dangerous, and would probably forget to bring my brain with me if it wasn't in my head! (at least I think that's where it is....)

I did this the first month I was pregnant with my fourth baby!

Yes, aren't those pregnancy hormones great?

Take care of yourself, you deserve and need it.

Yea sounds like me. Unfortunately I never got mine back after the birth of my first one. I fear what stupid things I do in the future now.

I've been so forgetful. I'll move something -like putting the checkbook into my pocketbook, then and hour later have to ask dh where it is. Duh.

Work's been a blast, too. I have to write EVERYTHING on the calendar or it doesn't get done. The experiment in the greenhouse that's been going on for almost a year now....ooops, forgot to water those suckers for several days and they nearly croaked.

I did a load of laundry last week, when it was done i opened the washer to put the clothes in the dryer... and there were none there. Seems I did a load of laundry with no laundry in there.
