I forgot my DH's name for about 10 minutes during my first pregnancy. Couldn't for the life of me remember it and I couldn't really ask him, could I? We had only been together for about 7 years at that point.
During this pregnancy, I have just got 'vague'. Even my DS (who turns 2 later this month) has told me to "focus mummy" which is what his daddy says.
When early pg with DS#1 I stood out the front of Coles at our local shopping centre and couldn't for the life of me find the entrance, all I saw were checkouts and trolleys. There is a massive sign that says "Entry" BTW.
On the way out I headed in the complete opposite direction to my car, I walked for ages before I realised...
I'm 28 weeks now and a couple of weeks ago I was heading out to go shopping. I took the garbage back with me to deposit in the green bin before I got in the car and I threw my handbag away instead and took the rubbish shopping...
All I can say is that I used to be an intelligent woman. Now I have a hard time remembering my own name! I think I should have one of those Id tags that says "If I'm lost please call my fiance on..." SO embarrassing...
yep i went to the shops minus my bra too! i was walking around holding myself. and just yesterday i couldnt remember where i had parked my car either!! i always said it hung around even after i had my first DD and now it seems like it is going to get worse! LOL
Told you I still have "BABY BRAIN" even though my youngest is 2 last night when I was making my coffe I when to get the milk out of the fridge twice even though it was already in my cup and sitting on the bench....
Please let me live in my happy little world where I still say it baby brain and not just me loseing my BRAIN....
BHL just says its my blonde coming out ALL the time... he used to have a running bet on the ship ( he was in the NAVY ) about who's wife does and says the stillyest thing saddly he WON!!!! PMSL arrrrr thats why he loves me....
I've forgotten ALOT of things. Usually DH's smokes. Most of the time they are all I'm supposed to be going for.
Haven't taken my garbage shopping yet!
The first case of Baby brain I remember was my first time out of the house with DD1. I went & bought 2 mothers day cards. One for MIL & one for my mum. Sent MIL to her & filled my mums out & left it at the PO.
Then went & bought a film at the chemist & left it behind.
Then that night I locked us out of our flat. Lucky the real estate was open late for some strange reason! It was about 6.30pm!
After DD2 I went & got money out of DH's bank account the day after I had her. I left the card in the ATM & it ate it before we got back. Coz he wasn't with the atm bank we couldn't get it back & had to order a new card.
Oh yes, placenta brain sure does exist. In fact mine hasn't improved at all since bub was born! She is 10 months old and I still have it. I don't put things in silly places but I just completely forget things. Appointments, birthdays, important tasks, anything . . .They are in my head one minute, next it has gone. I never used to be like this. DH just about it.
I dropped my HPT in the loo two days ago, and left my house keys in our post office box today (got them back due to some kind soul) and I am at the very beginning only 4 weeks. Who knows what I will be doing at 9 months.
