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?

Had spent an entire morning mooching around the Pitt Rivers museum in Oxford, and was a bit hungry by the time I came out. Fancied lunch at a particular place, but it was rammed so though 'oh well I'll eat something on the train' on the way home, so bought a pasty and boarded the train. Turned to get something out of my bag and dropped the entire pasty on the floor of the train. Cried most of the journey home. Blush

Since becoming pregnant I have cried the whole way through Frozen and Big Hero 6 (my emotions are crazy!), when normally my eyes are dry unless pain is involved and the other morning I couldn't find the bowl I had just gotten from the cupboard for my breakfast....

I'd put it in the fridge when getting the milk out it appears......didnt stop me searching every cupboard in the kitchen until I gave up and got another bowl and spotted it while returning the milk to the fridge.....

So I'm 20, work on checkouts in Sainsbury's. Anyways was chatting to an older customer a few weeks ago (roughly 24 weeks then) and she asked "is it your first" and I just stood and stared at her in silence, eventually I got my wit together (or so I thought) and replied "yes I think so"....
She must think I'm crazy

CookPassBabtrigde · 21/04/2015 21:07

Haha I love these!
Yeah sophia it was annoying and I was just so pregnant and fed up, but I think me crying all the way home might have been a slight overreaction - god knows what anyone walking past me thought!! I don't cry very often normally, but found when I was pregnant I would cry if I so much as dropped a spoon.
Also absent mindedness took over and still hasn't gone away. I regularly put rubbish in the washing machine and clothes in the bin... Coffee in the fridge, formula powder in the coffee... I no longer have pregnancy brain to blame it on, just baby brain - anyone know how long baby brain lasts for?!?

Attempted to overtake a queue of cars waiting at a red light Blush. Unsurprisingly, got beeped at A LOT for that one...

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 21/04/2015 22:48

I was stuck in a massive queue at antenatal reception yesterday and panickng that I was going to end up late for my appointment.

Finally, I got to the front, only to be told I'd come to the wrong hospital. Blush I had the appointment letter in my hand with the details on and everything!

Olive1990 · 22/04/2015 08:22

I parked up at the shops, got out the car, got ds out. Went to lock the car to realise the keys were still in the ignition and I'd left the engine running! Blush

I'm 13 weeks and last weekend my DH took me for a lovely romantic Saturday morning mooch around the city, including going to an exhibition we'd both been wanting to see about cycling. I read the first leaflet, all about how the photographer had really looked for interesting ways to use the beautiful landscapes in his shots, and instantly starting blubbing... it's just...too...beautiful... Needless to say DH moved swiftly to the other side of the room and ignored me until I had regained my composure. Am also continually losing my words and have forgotten how to spell - which is a problem when you're a secondary English teacher. They kids are gonna guess any day...

A couple of months ago I parked up in a car park to go into college, got out the car and walked away, 8 hours later left the classroom and went to get my keys out ready and couldn't find them anywhere, ran around the whole college frantically searching then decided to go and look in the car park in case I has dropped them. I found them still sat in the ignition with the door unlocked!
More recently I laughed for a solid 5 minutes because DH got the date of my holiday from work wrong, looking back absolutely nothing funny about it but at the time I had tears rolling down my face and struggled to breathe I was laughing so hard.

Someome said about forgetting their pin... didn't think this was possible, giving it is something we use so frequently... Until a trip to Primark this morning, I froze at the till and it just wouldn't come into my brain. Went to get one of my other cards out and then thankfully after a few mins it popped back in

CookPassBabtrigde · 23/04/2015 16:46

The pin thing happened to me a bit, I started entering the price of the shopping rather than my actual pin for some reason. So if the cashier said "that's £10.57" I would type in 1057 and be so confused that it was incorrect. Haha embarrassing but I think everyone forgets it at some point! It becomes autopilot and as soon as you actually think about it you're not sure you can remember it for definite!

IfYouWereARiverIdLearnToFloat · 23/04/2015 21:41

I parked car at work today, got out to put my bag in the boot. Opening boot & the car started rolling towards me!!

I tried to hold it back while one of my colleagues who was luckily waiting for me jumped in and put the handbrake on. So embarrassed... then nearly told her I had baby brain before I caught myself & remembered it's still a secret!

Primadonnagirl · 23/04/2015 21:46

bunny sorry I don't get the New Barnet joke?

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 24/04/2015 11:41

This morning I threw my long cardigan on for the school run. We were halfway there before I realised it wasn't my cardigan, it was my dressing gown.

I'm only 14 weeks! I'm sure there will be many more stories. Confused

Bry123 · 27/04/2015 13:59

With my first pregnancy I was reading in bed and decided to go to sleep. The hubby asked me to turn off my bedside light. I was adamant I had turned it off and the room was dark. It turned out it was dark because I had just shut my eyes!

flamingtoaster · 27/04/2015 14:02

I carefully packed all the breakfast washing up into the fridge ... we didn't even have a dishwasher! My friend, pregnant at the same time, peeled the potatoes, threw out the potatoes and boiled the peelings.

Halfpint102 · 27/04/2015 16:30

OMG, FernGully! I did exactly that last night, except it was my smelly fart... I started off laughing and then just burst into tears because it smelled SO bad!
Also, tried to get into my house with my work pass... and spent 45 minutes looking for my car, only to realise I was looking for my OLD car and not new one (in my defense I've only had it about 3 weeks)!

Also, got irrationally angry about my DP being asleep when I was laying in bed completely unable to sleep. In the end I jabbed him in the ribs and woke him up just to inform him I couldn't sleep. He was far from impressed! :D

dawnb14 · 27/04/2015 16:34

Was on holiday and stood and sobbed over what I thought was a dead dog...it wasn't ...it was hot and it was lying down. Then sobbed because it wasn't dead...Confused

mrsdos · 27/04/2015 17:02

Sadly this is one of many...

We were off to PILs last week and drove past a field with lambs in the gateway, after staring at them for a good few minutes I looked at dh and said 'they are funny looking rabbits?! Hmm

It may have been slightly acceptable IF I was not a farmers daughter!

cloemd92 · 27/04/2015 17:41

During my second pregnancy I went to cook first DS dinner, went to check on it half an hour later, realizing the cooker for one was not on, nor was the food even in there, I had actually put the food onto a tray and placed it into the fridge.

Alisvolatpropiis · 27/04/2015 19:06

Dropped my phone down the toilet, twice. On consecutive days no less.

Still works amazingly enough so it at least wasn't an expensive baby brain moment.

Started panicking and crying because I was somehow stuck in the driver's seat of the car. Actually hooted horn for assistance and flailed arms around whilst screaming out of the window. Passerby came running up to me, asked me what the problem was and then pointed out the reason I couldn't get out of my seat was because I was still wearing my seatbelt.

So I was quite anaemic when pregnant and all I wanted to do was suck on ice. This included but was not limited to; ice cream, ice piles, frozen peas, slushees etc. I also loved chewing on sponges. Something I still like to do today when I see someone eat beef (I think it's just the chewy sensation that gets me going)

Anyways I'm in tesco and I see some sponges. The ones with the corse back. So I decided that it's would be possible to soak them in water then sit in the bath and kind of chew/eat/suck the sponge.

Well it didn't work and I remember crying uncontrollably in the bath for literally an hour because my amazing plan hadn't worked.
