Things that pregnant women should not do!

[Salsa]

This is somewhat reasuring to read other who have lost their brains (as well as their ds pjs and Icecream ).
I feel so much more stupid this pregnancy than I did with DS. Its gotten worse this past week or 2. My doula says its a good sign my brain is zoning in for birthing, but somedays I feel like I hope I can get that far. I feel dodgey even going out for a walk some days, and not feeling my driving is quite as good as it should be
Fortunatly DH seems to be quite understanding and I have explained to DS that mummies brain is not as clever at the moment cause its getting ready for baby...

Oh yeah the word game! My english gets really bad. I stumble over words & talk like im a half wit most of the time.
It shows alot when I post because I can't be bothered going back & fixing it up.

Last night I was writing out some pay figures & had to keep asking her to repeat the number as I was hearing it but my brain just wasn't processing it to my pen LOL.

Some days I feel like a real idiot when I open my mouth.

Salsa - i'm hearing you re driving not being as good as should be - i'm sure that i'm the same, althought while i'm driving everyone else is the culprit!

i feel better reading this knowing i'm not the only one. i'm forgetting everything, including when my scans are! - when i looked at the piece of paper yesterday (and i'm usually particularly good at things like that - remembering dates & numbers off my heart - not anymore)

I'm forgetting staffs names - even though I do the hr contracts at work and have been here 18 mths! i can't even excuse myself thru preg brain cos they don't know yet - although a few ppl have said 'are u feeling ok?' haha .

Never lock the front door and pull it shut!!!!

ALWAY use your keys to look the door from the out side this way you know you have your keys in you hot little hands and not on the floor near where you put on your shoes!!!

And after you have baby never leave your keys next to your babies car seat when putting baby into the car as you WILL leave them there and it will be on this day you car decides to luck it self with baby stuck in the car and you a screaming mess on the out side!!!

Never look at ladies who are almost due to have there baby when you are at the start of yours as you will freak out at the size of them, and might say something that will make the poor PG lady feel very big indeed...

That goes for you men to you know BHL did it to me when I was 6 weeks PG with DD1 we were at the local pool with DS when we saw a very very very PG lady and BHL said " Gee been PG isnt very flattering is it hun" He never did say anything like that to me again as he had to deal with a very *****ty wife who wouldnt let him touch or look at me from about 6 mths on wards it was a very dry few month for him LOL

We have had to break into the house twice since i have become pregnant!! I am hopeless with keys. I took the presser button of my car because i was locking the keys in all the time. Now I physicaly have to lock the door with the keys so I cant lock them in at it still imobilises the car.

lol - i just went out to check the mail and locked the door behind me as I did. Probably prompted by this thread I suddenly thought " what the f*** am I doing locking the door?! What it the wind catches it???!!!" and I dashed back and unsnibbed it before continuing out to the mail box - phheww!. DS is away for the night, so I would have been stuck!!!

Don't go shopping for kitchen utensils and ALWAYS take a shopping list for grocery shopping. It became a joke in our house whenever I headed out - my DH would say "don't forget to buy tongs and taco shells". I bought 4 pairs of tongs and who knows how many boxes of taco shells during my pregnancy with DD#1. Whenever I was standing in front of them in the supermarket aisle I'd look and think "Oh, I need some of those!"

Last week i left the front door wide open while we went out. Not a good idea. Luckly no one broke in.

Whenever driving i always put it into drive and take the handbrake off, before i have turned the car on and wondering why its not going anywhere.

[fingerscrossed]

The only really dumb thing I have done was leave my ATM card in the ATM when i was staring at the balance slip to see if my BSB number was on it! It got saved by the machine when I didn't do the next transaction and JUST WALKED OFF!

Luckily it was at my bank and they retrieved it for me when i realised at medicare that I didn't have my card anymore.

These stories are so funny to read!
I'm finding I forget words or they come out all jumbled.

When I was preg with Ash I remember forgetting my pin number, luckily 3rd try I got it right. And I cooked spaghetti then went to pour it into the collander to drain it but forgot to use the collander so dumped the whole lot into the sink!

Is this the beginning of the end of my brain???

Yes indeed it is!!!!!! I had a few moments, but the one that makes me laugh the hardest is when I was making toast, and put the bread in, and the top was sticking out. I cut the top off the bread... instead of just turning the toast around (which would have fit.... I didn't even think of it...). More embarassing, my sister was visiting, and she had toast, and I said "oh you'll have to cut the top off the bread if you want it to fit"... LOL!

And running on daylight savings time all day one day, I was an hour early for everything (train, uni etc), and wondered why everything was running late.

I also tried to put the remote control in my pocket thinking it was my mobile. Lucky it didn't fit!

Pregnant ladies should NOT....
go into a post office on a Saturday and get 3 money orders made out for a few thousand bucks when the atm cards max is only $800!
NOte: There are NO banks open on a weekend! D'oh

I think doing the washing and ironing. I couldn't find DH friday shirt for the last 2 weeks. I know I washed it and ironed it but for the life of me I couldn't find it. Of course this drives me nuts so yesterday my first job of the day was to pull every piece of clothing out of the bedroom and re-arrange it all. Which I really needed to do this again anyway. I ended up taking 3 bags of clothes to the Vinnie Bin. Anyway this morning still annoyed that I couldn't find it. I thought I wonder if I should check the linen cupboard and low and behold there it was folded in with the towel. In fact there were 3 of his shirts in there! I think thats a good enough excuse to get someone else to do the clothes sorting at least.

Been there done that!! My vote is for a lanyard, that way your keys are always round your neck
