Pregnancy Brain  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I have serious pregnancy brain. I checked my bank accounts online today and there was a charge for nearly $200 at Wal-Mart. I started freaking out, thinking this was fraud! I racked my brain to see if I could remember having spent that much money anywhere, let alone WalMart, in the last few days. Nothing came to me. Finally after a couple of minutes, I realized that I bought a digital camera on Wednesday. We are not well-off financially, so $200 is a HUGE purchase to us! And I felt guilty for getting the camera at WalMart*. And it was very important for me to get it now, before the baby comes. And then I just completely forget about it?!?! I think the baby is sucking my brain out.

*I did try CompUSA first, which is at least a step up from WalMart. I stood in front of the cameras for 10-15 minutes (kids fighting all the while), and no one ever came to help, so I stormed out in a fit. You'd think I could've asked someone for help, but apparently the pregnancy brain was also destroying normal, logical thought processes. And then the exact same thing happened at WalMart, so I guess I should've just stayed at CompUSA

I finally decided to treat myself to an ice coffee the other day. I pulled up to the drivethru at Mc Donalds, blew right by the order window & went to the pay window. Needless to say I did not get my ice coffee. What an airbrain.

I have total pregnancy brain too, only it's so bad I can't remember any stories I can hardly remember this morning.

Oh boy, I got it too -- real bad. The other day I said to my BIL, "hey, my watch is not working anymore" and he came to see and showed me, "the hand is moving" Duh! The stupidest things, you know.

And don't start speaking anything longer than a paragraph or I'll zone out

I've got it bad too. I don't have much of a memory these days. I probably couldn't even tell you what I did yesterday!

I feel totally out of it too. Actually I feel totally drugged right now. I can not for the life of me concentrate or form words. It's actually starting to freak me out.
It's probably just the humidity and the fact my mother will be walking through the door in less than an hour.
