I really hope none of this happens to me...Im happy to report that my brain, apart from constant hunger alerts, is perfectly normal. Although I do use the excuse sometimes, when the washing isn't done.
I have PG brain big time!! The other day my partner was looking for the cheese.. I knew we had just bought some.. Couldn't find it, blamed our flatmate for eating it then 3 days later found it in the drawer with the gladwrap.. Obviously I had put iot in there after wrapping my sandwich for work!! Also got dinner out of freezer, left it open all day while I was at work. What a waste.. Then this morning my partner said 'you have to be more careful' I said 'what have I done now?' and I had left the keys in the door all night!!
My midwifery student phoning (am doing follow-through program for/with her) and on answering the phone, having NO IDEA who she was. It took me a while to catch on. I was: "Mel? Who? I don't know any Mel's...who the hell is this!?"
Locking myself out of the house yesterday after hanging out the washing so I had nothing with me. Waited 3 hours for Kim to get home. Lol, very silly.
I made my first appointment with the midwives a week or two ago....she asked me for my phone number, went to give her my mobile and managed the first four numbers....after that I was a complete blank!! Felt so stupid...kept apologising to her for the 5 or so minutes it took me to try and wake up DF so he could tell me what it was...all he said was "what???" and half fell back asleep, so then had to try and find his mobile and find my number in it..I also considered using my mobile to call the home phone, but realised it doesn't have caller ID..lol So after that, I put my mobile number in my own phone, yeah I feel really dumb now, but at least I know I can find it quickly if I happen to forget again!
Also been very tounge-tied when on the phone to customers at work, I must sound like I can't speak sometimes! Umm...I've had to stop myself a couple of times when I realise I'm on the way to put the juice or milk back in the pantry and not in the fridge..probably other things too..my memory was bad before but it's worse now! And probably not going to improve anytime soon!
I always have 2 bowls of cereal in the morning and instead of making my second bowl in the same bowl I'd just used I made my second serving in a dirty bowl that I'd had cereal in the day before and had forgotten to clean- a rareity with all the nesting I've been doing- and didn't realise until I'd finished. That was followed with panicking about the milk and knocking over all the other cereal. My DH thought it was the funniest/cutest thing he's ever seen. I didn't.
I'm also constantly forgetting words, why I've gone into certain aisles in the supermarket and my mobile number. I thought mumnesia/placenta brain was a made up thing. I was wrong.
