Has anybody else's baby eaten their brain?

[Excitable]

I'm sure I used to be more clever than this. I can be fine for ages, and then do something so utterly STUPID, I astound myself.

My friend told me that when she was pregnant, she lost her shampoo because she'd put it in the fridge.

My prize story happened last week when I went to the doctors to get a mole checked out, so I didn't take a urine sample with me. But when I asked a question about my puffy ankles, the doctor asked if I could provide a sample on my way out. Certainly, I say. Do you need a bottle, he says. No, I say, I've got one in my bag. So off I go to the toilet in the doctors and I'm just finishing off my wee when I realise I WAS SUPPOSED TO COLLECT SOME OF IT!!

So there's no returning straight to work after my 9.20am appointment, I have to go into town to drink a bottle of water and wait for nature to take it's course. By the time I done all this and had something to eat becuase I was starving by mid-morning and got the sample back to the doctors and caught the bus back to work, it was about midday! What a clutz!

Please tell me if you're pregnant and you've been doing stupid things too... Even if you have to make it up!

Lol, loving this thread! It's very reassuring

I used the cash machine yesterday and opened my purse to put my bankcard BACK in and panicked because there was a space where the card should be. You know that momentary panic - "Where is my bankcard?!" Then almost wet myself laughing when I realised it was in my hand waiting to be returned to its home. Then I almost forgot to take my money! Man in the queue behind me looked a bit worried...

Then I managed to forget my surname on the phone to the bank... Couldn't remember my own, only my fiance's and then spent about ten seconds trying to remember if we were married or not!

Very worrying...

Mine was bad with DS. Had DD 18 months later. She's now 15 months and I'm not convinced there's much left. Now I know why my poor mother always seemed so dippy and frazzled when I was a kid!

plummed, this happened to me in a long Tesco queue. When I realized what was going on I got a coughing fit from laughing and tinkled myself.

Great.

Tena Lady here I come....

I was getting changed in the toilets at work before cycling home and came out if the cubicle having completely forgotten to put my top on. Luckily nobody was around...

Yes, I'm enjoying reading this thread too! Mumnesia - love it! So far, on seperate occasions I've managed to leave the car unlocked, leave the flat unlocked and even leave the front door open! I can't remember where I've put anything and then usually find I'm holding it. I also completely lose the thread of conversations when in the middle of them and have no idea what I'm supposed to be saying.

Guess it's only going to get worse. Lol at the laughing/tinkling but I'm yet to experience that - will probably not be lauging quite so much in the future...

pmsl iwouldgoouttonight!
one year on, my brain is still a sieve with extra holes......

you mean the baby eat your brain, not its own brain... omg i was freaked there for a mo!

After my booking in appointment I took my DD to the baby clinic where she was given a prescription. I popped over the road to the chemist but it was going to be 20 mins, so I went back to the car to get her buggy out soe we could pootle around the shops till the prescription was ready. So, after about half an hour, we got the medicine, then went back to the car (parked in our very busy doctors surgery car park that is used as a shortcut by all to cut off a long borner) and the car keys were dangling in the boot lock. Lucky for me no-one had noticed. anyeay, I was still berating myself when I got home 10 minutes later, onlt to find the house keys dangling in the unlocked back door!!!!

I'm getting some signs made up saying "crime victim here" as the robbers and burglars aren't taking my hints well enough.

I've also in recent weeks gone to bed and left the door unlocked and the rear door to the garage wide to the wall, with the keys still in the lock.

I went to work on a Saturday a few weeks ago. I don't work Saturdays - in fact no one at our palce does unless they are on call. I noticed the roads were very quiet. I'd actually left the house to go into town, but forgot to turn off the motorway and autopiloted to work.
