’Baby Brain’

hehehehehehe.. I'm afraid it lasted the whole pregnancy for me.. and then it turns into nappy brain

I still have baby brain

i was like ginger..was like yeah whatever and I've been waiting patiently for brain to come back..but nope it's not happening:(!! now I'm more like joshierocks:)

MM I had a look and it is actually all the hormones affecting your brain.

I 've completely forgotten basic things and words in english!!!

Keep calling my female dog the boy dogs name and opposite. Forget if i've looked the door and then have to check 3-4 times.

Look car and leave keys in it etc. etc.

Ohmigod Ginger - so stoked to hear that you are pregnant. Will be sending you sticky vibes over the coming weeks. Yay!!

PS someone was saying your brain mass reduces 40% while pregnant and beyond, so we have a valid excuse! altho don't quote me on the 40% coz I can't remember the exact figure they used!

Sorry Ginger - but I'm with everyone else. It lasts the whole pregnancy and then into the nappy stage and even now (almost 5 years later) I'm doing stupid things - but that could be I'm pg again.

Mine didn't kick in until about 32 weeks with my first when I started doing things like filling up my water bottle to drink and then putting it in the dishwasher, sitting back down again to rest and wondering where my bottle was.

And the biggest thing when I was pg the first time - was my words. I was a trainer at the time and forgetting my words or not being able to articulate myself properly was incredibly frustrating and embarrassing at times.

But as I said - I seem to be doing 'odd' things constantly already in this pg. There really is no hope once you've suffered it.   

I was a big sufferer of baby brain and definately have nappy brain now. Lists became my best friend while I was working. Now I can walk from the kitchen to the hall and forget where I was supposed to be going, and our house is not very big! And don't even ask me what day it is!

Well........I  

1.redirected our mail from our new address to our new address

2. gave out my bank account details on trademe but instead of using logical numbers (aka my numbers) I just made them up!

 

edited to add the  face instead of the  as the  indicated you needed to get a hidden meaning.....which there isnt and would totally confuse the baby brains amongst us.

 

Good thing is......Tom appears to have found my missing brain and seems quite switched on.  So baby brain is not in vain (it rhymes!)

Haha Nikki! I'm laughing so hard there's tears running down my face (and thank god for pelvic floor exercises or otherwise I'd be peeing everywhere too )

Offffft that's nothing, I had to ask my hubby important questions when filling out the info for Maddie's birth certificate...you know, like his name, date of birth and while he was at my date of birth????!!!!
