Pregnancy Brain Moments — let’s have a laugh!

Share the most pregnancy brain thing you’ve done so far. I’ll start:


This morning, I cracked an egg straight into the garbage. Then a second. It wasn’t until the third that I realized something was off about my omelette prep…��

haha that's too funny!! my biggest issue is I'm mixing up facts at work, so I have to make sure to write everything in my notebook. it's super chaotic right now, but it's working and luckily that's the worst of it so far!

@LovelyLadyDi,

same! I also have a notebook which I scribble my notes in. I make them different colors so I can find them easier 🤣

My most recent one was yesterday in the shower. I was shaving my legs and was finishing up and all of sudden I couldn’t remember if I had shaved both my legs or just the one. Like I was finishing up my one leg and was pretty sure I had done the other leg and just could not remember. How does one forget that over the course of 2 minutes??

@Round24U,

oh gosh I got out of the shower and was super proud of shaving everything needed from head to toe. Only to put on lotion and realize I missed my left leg! I cried a little that day.

Hahaaa I’m also guilty of this. I think my brain goes on autopilot and just gets completely turned around. Thankfully it’s usually just the thigh of one leg ��

I just stop talking in the middle of a sentence. My husband will prompt me to finish and I’m always like, “oh I was talking??”

@N0uterusN0opinion,

Bahahaa train of thought is so fleeting right now! I’ll often get hung up searching for the right word (yesterday it was “compromise” — not a hard one ��), husband will guess it only to go, “Are you going to finish the story?” Me: “I was telling a story??”


Love that you just stop ����

@N0uterusN0opinion,

me!!! The other day I was looking for the word mailbox but my mind kept saying “microwave.” I also did a presentation and forgot the word for Easter �� I’ll be reading something and then catch myself just blankly staring at the page, no memory of what I was doing or what I read before

This morning I watched my husband put his bread into the toaster then a minute later I walked over and unplugged the toaster to put it away.. Somehow in those 60 seconds I completely forgot he was toasting bread!

This is great! 

I walked into a bagel store and picked up my order to realize that they didn’t include cream cheese so I ask for a container of one, proceed to pay for it and then immediately walked right out the door. Once I got to the office I realize what I did and too embarrassed to go back so I sent one of my employees.

Omg, I was making my 7 year old breakfast the other day and also getting my dog some food, well I somehow put my dogs food bowl in front of my son and he was laughing hysterically and said “mom, this is dog food” I turned around so quickly in disbelief I just did that without a care and we both had a laugh. My dog was very confused

Yesterday morning I put on my thong underwear BACKWARDS and went about my day. I didn’t notice until I was using the bathroom at work and was too lazy to take everything off to turn them around. *comfy* LOL

That’s funny. I went to the laundry mat the other day and I forgot to start the washer. When I came back about 20 minutes later I was surprised my blankets weren’t washed.

I forgot the word “garage” lol I was trying to tell my husband we needed to park in the parking “garage” but couldn’t remember the word and just got really frustrated and called it a parking house ��

I think my biggest thing about pregnancy brain is forgetting words entirely hahaha

I was on my phone putting in an online order for dinner this evening and stopped, panicked, and said “where’s my phone? I can’t find it”
