Last night on the train I pulled out my book of Sudoku puzzles and started doing one. It was rated "Easy" and within I swear about a minute, I'd made a mistake A really silly one, I put a 9 in a square that had a 9 right next to it.
I am normally a whizz with Sudokus - I can even do the big ones in the Age that have five intersecting puzzles.
Is this the beginning of the end of my brain???
Got me thinking - what else should be on the "Avoid while pregnant" list??
To avoid:
Looking at your friends who are parents with your 'soon-to-be parent eyes' and start thinking "we're so not doing that", "she's so weak, she just gave in to her child" etc...you may well feel the shame later when you're doing those same things and realising why parents do them! Although, I think this is a rite of passage...everyone does it to some extent :blush:

Last night I left the freezer door open and I mean wide open!! (and our one doesnt beep to tell you) as I was the last one to go to bed I woke up this morning to melted icecream, water all over the floor had to chuck most of it out.
I didnt want to tell DP so i just said that I was cleaning out the freezer! He was like..."you're being very productive in your holidays arent you!" I just laughed to myself!
ummm mange the money LOL Just yesterday I sat & worked out our budget for th eweek as its going to be a very tight week.
All good, everything paid for, shoppping done, petrol taken into account etc.
I forgot the CAR PAYMENT! Now I have no money to pay it LOL, had to ring up & arrange a double payment for next f/n !
LOL, great thread. When I was pregnant I chouldn't engage in conversation where I had to remember lots of names.
i.e.
"You know... umm... that girl? With the red hair? Yes! That's the one, well her cousin, what's her name... umm... you know...? Yes! Well, she's going out with... ummm..." etc, etc.
Actually, who am I kidding - for me that wasn't just a pregnancy thing!
My word, I don't have to be pregnant to forget names.
Volunteer to drive while experiencing nausea. DW nearly took the nose of our car off today.
Although, having said that, I have done the same on plenty of occasions without nausea or pregnancy to blame.
Start talking about emotional things straight after getting out of the shower. I had a dripping wet DW cuddling me a few days ago, sobbing her heart out and asking in between "Why am I crying?" LOL
i went shopping today and bought ds a new pair of pyjamas and now they are nowhere to be seen. i have no idea where i've left them- at the register, in the carpark, in the trolley????!!!
i have no idea, but anyway.....now he still needs new pyjamas
Sorry ocean princess- but yes this marks the begining of the end to your normal brain functions!!!!
I would say Pregnant women should just basically not be resposible for doing anything too important!! Cause our bodies and minds are very busy doing ONE very important thing already!! Growing a baby!! lol
I was doing book keeping while pregnant- and made that many mistakes it wasnt funny!!!! My biggest one was that i wrote the cheque for the wages wrong, by one cent, which may not seem a big deal- but when it came time to reconcille the month on the computer- it caused BIG problems!!!
Things that pregnant women should not do!
A really silly one, I put a 9 in a square that had a 9 right next to it.
