just had to post, came home from shopping and got straight into my fleecey onesie, weathers not nice house is baltic and nowhere else to go for the rest of the day.

anyway, just nipped to the loo (tmi coming up) and i am mid flow thinking ooh this wee sounds a bit weird. Go to wipe and tissue kind of gets stuck at which point i finally realise i have just been to the loo with my knickers on and fully in place Blush

i'm not usually this silly (honestly!) anyone else?

I put dog food in my washing machine....that's what I get for thinking I must feed the dog while sorting the washing....my days of multi tasking are gone ha ha.
luckily it's dry dog food and I realised before I pressed start

I conceived twins, but one was ectopic and I had emergency surgery when my tube ruptured. I couldn't wear any knickers as my tummy got bigger, as they would sit on my scar which wasn't healing anywhere. I was lounging round the house in my oldest leggings when I decided to pop to the shops. People seemed to be doing a double take at my bump...wasn't until I got home and passed the full length hall mirror that I discovered the seams had split on my leggings and there was rather a lot of curly hair hanging out of the split seam.

Left my mums house one day about a month ago and spent 10mins cursing and trying to get into the car before realising it was in fact our old car that we sold 3 months ago and the new one was parked three doors down Confused I'm sure their neighbours think I've lost it!

I love these stories!!! As a hard as nails kinda girl this pregnancy has made me do nothing but cry. I cry that much that half way through I don't even know what I'm crying about and instantly stop BlushBlush

I've just written this on another thread...The silliest thing I've done so far is cey at my DH's farting.

Have a nose like a bloodhound at the min, doesn't take a lot to get me boaking. So he farted and the smell was so bad I was retching and crying that now I have a bump I couldn't get off the sofa to a sink or loo fast enough without flopping about like a stranded fish!

tinkerbellvspredator · 20/04/2015 10:34

The dentist asked me if knew what I was having and I said boy, even though it was a girl. I was too embarrassed to correct myself so we kept on chatting about my baby boy to be!

Loving these stories!

I tripped over a pigeon yesterday as my bump is so big I can't see my feet.

Also cried at a KFC advert the other day.

Sootgremlin · 20/04/2015 11:02

I did a similar thing at the dentist after I had the baby tinkerbell

She said "How's your baby?" So I rattled on for ages about what she was up to (not much at 6 weeks!) how gorgeous she was, her sleeping patterns, how she'd made our life complete etc etc etc. There was a pause, then she said

"And, er, how old is your baby Mrs Sootgremlin?" And I realised that's all she had asked in the first place. You know, for the NHS forms. Not even PFB so no excuse. I was cringing all the way through the appointment after that.

Love these stories, but what am I doing on the pregnancy board - I'm not having any more Blush

I regularly used to forget I had a bump when pg with DS and it used to knock into the touch screen on the photocopier at work. If I didn't notice and clear it back to 1 before I pressed start I would end up with 36 (or however many my belly had decided to change the number to) copies of my documents!

Wenglish · 20/04/2015 11:58

I forgot how to hold a knife recently. I can't really explain it!

avocadotoast · 20/04/2015 12:19

I went through a phase a few weeks ago where I kept forgetting words.
I'd be talking and just trail off mid-sentence because I had no idea what I was meant to be saying.

laurenlhthompson · 20/04/2015 14:04

I'm so glad im not the only one to forget my pin!

I put petrol in my car and then sat in it crying for 15 minutes until I somehow remembered itConfused

ollieplimsoles · 20/04/2015 15:12

I had a craving for babybel cheese aaalll day long, went for a little walk to get some, came back and started unpacking the shopping, got the bag of babybel out and just hurled it into a tub of washing up water.. Hmm

brokencrayons · 20/04/2015 15:47

I live just off a small single track country road in a very quiet rural area. Nobody every drives or walks past as I pretty much live in the middle of nowhere. I often pee with the bathroom door open so I can hear my kids, but I live in a bungalow and it was sunny and the kids were out playing so my front door was open too! .... my bathroom is in line with my front door.... mid peepee, with my fleece pyjamas around my ankles a lovely young couple slowly walk past my house, and look right at me... I sloooooowly close the bathroom door. Maintaining eye contact. Nothing to see here! Move along!

FeelTheNoise · 20/04/2015 18:16

DP bought me some really fancy biscuits. I threw them across the living room Shock I can't remember why, but I wasn't being reasonable Grin

sophiaslullaby · 20/04/2015 19:45

These stories are hilarious!
I've cried at the new Robinson fruit juice advert (couple singing to their baby who grows up and gets a girl who then becomes pregnant).

I've put the crackers in the fridge too (agree with other posters -multi-taskers is now really hard without mucking it up!!)

Also have had few hysterical laughing fits when somethings not that funny.

I went to put the rice back in the wrong cupboard earlier. That was pretty small.

Then I went to make a cup of tea for me and DH, got the kettle boiled, milk out, teabags... No cups though. Just stood there with a teabag in each hand thinking "where do these go then?"

CookPassBabtrigde · 20/04/2015 21:46

The day before I went into labour I was in town and decided to get the bus home as I was bloody knackered. The bus didn't stop (presume it was full) and it was a half an hour wait for another one. So I walked the 20 min journey home and sobbed all the way. I have no idea why it upset me so much, looking back I think it must have been the hormones!
I also bawled at Drop Dead Fred, literally all the way through the film. It was the day Rik Mayall died though and I'd had a bad day anyway!

sophiaslullaby · 21/04/2015 07:37

Cup of tea with no no cups! That made me laugh! Early on in pregnancy i had to make 5 tea/coffees and got too confused so cried!

I dont blame you CookPass for crying at the bus, that would've tipped me over too so with you there poor thing.

minijoeyjojo · 21/04/2015 08:14

I tried to make a cup of tea by putting the tea bag in the kettle. Thankfully it's quite a small opening so the bag got stuck on the way in otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed!!

Mamabear14 · 21/04/2015 08:26

I have twice now been doing dinner, put potatoes in the steamer, wrapped fish in foil and put it in the oven and walked away without turning it on. Cooked new potatoes and raw fish anyone?!

Number3cometome · 21/04/2015 11:57

Put the coffee in the freezer

Put the oven on, set up all the food ready to cook and walked away with the oven door open

Cried, lots over silly things, accused OH of not loving/fancying me as he didn't want to DTD (for one day!)

Peed myself a little
