My brain just won't work.... is this normal?!

[KathyMCMLXXII]

Am sure I didn't get this last time but my brain has quite simply turned to porridge. Big row with dh on holiday because I forgot to mention I had an appointment at work the day after and we had to come home early. Keep forgetting to answer vital emails at work. Not that I'm organised exactly, normally, but I always managed to keep on top of things, more or less...

Anyone else find this? There was another thread about people turning into total lunatics while pg - well, I'm not a lunatic, just really, really stupid....

I'm having this some days worse than others, im a complete dither brain

My brain is officailly mush and I need to write everything down on a list. But then I forget to add something to the list, or I forget to look at the list.........

Me too, Indith. Lists are only any use as long as you're actually capable of using a list.

Last week I forgot to take my diary to work on a day when I had to do lots of diary-sorting-out. So I wrote down all the appointments I made on a piece of paper which .... I left at work, and I'm working from home this week! Duh!

(FWIW I have never, ever forgotten to take my diary to work before )

I'm getting it aswell!! even forgot how far gone i was when the midwife asked me today!! its usally little things i forget, like what time to meet friends for lunch, where i put my phone etc! i think its only natural in pregnancy, well i hope so anyway!!!

I was like that both of my pregnancies... really annoying!

Totally, utterly mush. I'm double booking myself all over the place, but thankfully at least half the people I'm messing about nod knowingly and say 'you're really pregnant, aren't you'.

Aww Soph I do that all the time! People ask how far along I am and I just know its currently between 20 and 25 weeks somewhere. I can remember my due date though! Midwife always has to get her wheel out and calculate for me from that!

I have found this the most debilitating thing in the pregnancy - I rely on my brain at work and am SOOOO fed up with being in the middle of delivering a lecture and forget my words mid-sentance......grrr!

Do a serach under ante-natal and my hame to see all the ridiculous wittering I've said and doen since finding out I was OG again.

God help us all when I sleep deprived too.
