Pregnancy/Baby Brain

[Parker7]

Before I was expecting and I heard this phrase, I always thought it was just an excuse for pregnant women to hide their dopeyness.

I am quite an organised person but just lately I have been forgetting all sorts. And also just not thinking straight, like driving out of my way to the post office, parking up and then realising I didn't need to as I was on my way to do my food shopping and there is a post box there....

Anyone else experiencing this?

Fortunately i'm not sufferig too badly this time around but with my first I was scatty as hell Many times I went to the supermarket and walked around aimlessly trying to remember wtf I was there for in the first place!

Ive had terrible baby brain ... mostly revolving around driving and my car

I've now left the windows down three times overnight, and the handbrake off once.

I also drove around the glasgow one way system the wrong way

tI don't know if it's baby brain or what, but I cannot concentrate, toddlers probably have better levels of concentration than me atm. I can't watch a full TV programme even. It took me about an hour today to do a couple of admin jobs (which I do for Scouts) which I normally would have done in about 10-15 minutes. It's driving me crazy, I can't even read particularly long posts on here!

Im a baby brain!
I went to the Maternity out patients the other day to double check when my consultant appointment is. The receptionist asked if I would like her to write it on the back of my notes with the other dates of various things, only to be told it was there all along! Doofus! x

I'm constantly being told I have this and my poor colleagues pick up the pieces of my stupidity at work. It's no myth...I never for a second would have believed being this slow and ditzy would be possible. Xx

Other people have been saying I have it. Im normally reasonably switched on and organised, but I've forgotten a few things. I've noticed that sometimes I can't remember the word for something - it usually comes back to me eventually!

I'm nowhere near as bad as I was in 1st Tri - some days it was like thinking through fog. Now it just feels like I have more important things to think about.

Its so annoying lol! worth every minuet of it though in the end im sure! xxx
