Anyone done any STUPID things while pregnant....

[badkitty]

I crashed our new car yesterday into a concrete pillar in the car park - got a massive dent in the back. DH keeps asking how I managed it and I honestly have no idea (I seem to have blanked it out in my head, except for the massive crunch when I actually hit the pillar) but am sure being 30 weeks pregant has something to do with it... Apparently my mum hit the window of a car showroom when pregnant with my brother and brought the whole thing down! It has really shaken me up and upset me though. Would appreciate any stories to cheer me up from anyone else whose pregnant brain has made them do daft things...

Carefully put slices of cheese and tomato on the grill pan and grilled it, totally failing to notice I'd forgotten the toast part.

On the way to the local shop throwing my handbag in the wheely bin and only realising when I walked into the shop clutching a bin liner full of rubbish.

Painted our bedroom pillar box red, thinking that for some reason it would be a 'relaxing sancturay'. It made me actually nauseous and I slept in the spare room until it was back to a lovely off white.

I went round the supermarket with dh. "can you get some oranges " he shouted....... " do you want round ones ??????? "i replied. !!

Pointed my car keys at the house and been really surprised when the door didn't open.

Got a text at around 39 weeks and thought 'ooh I wonder if that's going to say I've gone into labour?'

Many more I can't remember because the other big symptom was sieve-brain. Oh, started walking to the station with a towel still on my head. And I've done the 'which side of the road do I drive on?' trick too - in the dark, and then got really angry with the crazy person driving straight at me with their headlights on - luckily I was the chicken (and on the wrong side).

Drove car into a lamp post
Forgot which side of the road you're supposed to drive on and only remembered when I faced oncoming traffic
Took house phone out with me
Took TV remote out with me thinking it was my mobile
Went to bank the work takings only to realise when I got there, that I had left half the money out of the safe on a very unsafe table in the office

I am so glad I am not the only one to have done most of the above.

I am not that person at all normally - I am ultra organised, memory like an elephant, never even scraped my car. [sigh]

I started to back my car out of the drive and noticed that there was a car parked opposite. I continued to back it out and was completely surprised to hear a bang-I had managed to back straight into it. The driver had only had it for a week! He was very nice about it, he took it very calmly.

I forget everything when I am pregnant. Including the name of the company I work for, my address, and on one quite frightening occasion I answered the phone at work and couldn't remember my name . The frightening thing is that someone would have phoned to ask my advice about something, and I was clearly in no position to be making decisions about anything!

The driving thing seems to be so common. I park on the street and usually have to reverse park so it was second nature to me. Since this pregnancy began I have taken about five attempts to do it and then sat in the car hoping nobody has noticed.

Picked up my new car. Needed to dip the clutch to start the car and depress the brake to release the handbrake. Didn't get it at all. DH tried to explain it to me and I just look at him totally bemused.. Car sales man tried to explain and pointed to the pedals, I still couldn't remember which pedal was which despite having driven for 15 years and just driven to the garage. In the end I had to get out and let DH drive home..

Sent my sons car seat back with the loan car(twice!) while ours was off the road.

Took the eggs from the henhouse. Put them in the back pockets of my jeans, went inside and sat down - yuk.

Some of these are brilliant

The other day i was "working from home" and it started to get a bit dark in the room. At work the lights are on a movement sensor so if they go off I just wheel my chair back a bit and they automatically switch on. I spent about 10 minutes wheeling my chair round the back bedroom at home wondering why the lights weren't coming on before remembering the small switch device by the door...

Ha ha yes my last pg i took dd1 and the dog for a walk in town, tied him up outside the shop went in got a couple of things.

Dd was hungry so decided to take her to cafe so we went to cafe,got something to eat and was strolling along the town looking at this dog tied up outside a shop thinking that dog looks familiar!!

Oh yes you guessed it, only my poor dog He had been there over an hour lol dp has never lets me forget it! i have no idea how i managed to forget about him

I fitted a cat flap upside down so the door was just like a little shelf

I reversed into a lamp post during my last pregnancy. Unfortunately its in a local social club car park which is next to my daughters school so i park there every day .. its still very lobsidded 2 1/2 years on!

My maddest moment was cancelling some poor stranger's train ticket. He was buying it through one of those machines in the station and for some reason I thought he was using the next machine along and someone had abandoned that one mid-transaction, so I just pressed cancel. He was at the putting-your-card-in stage and then had to start all over again but it wouldn't accept his card again

I've also left the keys in the ignition of the car overnight a couple of times. And I forgot how old I was for an entire day. Pah!

Crying with laughter at these! I seem to have lost the ability to speak - keep blending my childrens friends names together into incomprehensible words...Poppy and Sally become Pally and Soppy and I look blankly at my friends wondering why they're looking strangely at me..

Driving ability has plummeted, I sat at a roundabout yesterday smiling at people at my right wondering why they weren't going anywhere

And my memory recall is also awful. Like the pepper in the soup, I do something then forget instantly that I've done it.

Spent a good few minutes yesterday holding the tv remote and asking DH where the tv remote was, much to his amusement. DD's nursery has given up expecting me to remember their bag the last few weeks and have kindly stockpiled spare clothes for them in case they need to be changed. .

LOL!!! I am 39wks and have also lost the ability to speak.

I have also had a minor parking incident a few weeks ago. DH called me on my mobile to say he had reversed onto our drive but had left the car at a funny angle, so to park behind him and he would sort both cars out later when he got home. Fairly straightforward, no?

An hour later I arrive home with no recollection of the conversation, think "hmm, he's a bit wonky" and proceed to take 15 mins performing precision manoevures to get my car in alongside his...

Unfortunately I was too close to his car to squeeze mahoosive belly through the gap and couldn't perform the necessary manoevures to get the car out again.

Neighbours were treated to a very pregnant lady with spd attempting to climb over gearstick to the passenger side before finally half climbing half flopping onto the drive with a v red sweaty face

Not my finest moment...

I'm 30 weeks pg but have not done anything stupid I can think of at the moment this time around but in my first pregnancy I asked my DH the same question about 20 times. When the 20th time he answered the question very mad and sarcasticaly I replied that there is no need for attitude and sarcasm. He then replied that in a span of five minutes I asked him the same question over and over and over, to this day I cannot remember it but it has to be true since my DH does not get sarcastic very often.

Came home with DS, opened front door, left keys in lock and closed front door. Some nice teenage boys rang the bell later and handed me my keys

Next day, using spare keys for some reason, came home with DS. Let us in. Then friend comes round to pick me up for swimming. I pick up my keys to go out, then remember I was using the spare keys earlier, become obsessed with checking that I haven't left them in the lock. Can't find them anywhere.

Am on the verge of calling a locksmith to change the locks, as I have obviously left them in the lock again and someone has made off with them, when DP says 'Are these the spare keys on the mantelpiece, where they always live?'

I had an argument with DH at the weekend

Him: Where did you leave the car?
Me: You had it last
Him: I've not used it since Monday and I left it outside the door
Me: Well, it would still be there then! I've definitely not been driving at all this week.

Am 32 weeks pg. Have scraped the car a few times! We moved house two weeks ago and I am incapable of reversing into our new driveway!

Also... have checked the hole punch to see if there were enough "holes" left for what I was doing . In my defence, I had just run out of staples on something I was doing before...

My dad has a theory: The first baby takes away half of your brain power, leaving you with 50% of what you had before... then the next one takes 50% of that, so you only have 25% of your original brain and so on... I think he's right!

(This is my first one though, so heaven help us later on!)

This has made me feel a lot better about the car... may make DH read it later on to prove it is not just me!

i only self injur.

When pg with dd2 i badly sprained my ankle and kept catching my arms onthe oven shelfs. When i had my first visit from the HV she asked if i selfharmed.

I am 16wks pg with dc3 and last week i dropped then heavy metal lid on my foot and the rim caught my toenail bed on my big toe, so i have to paint my nail purple so they all match .

Pookamoo! I am falling about here

Enough holes left!

I've put the bread in the fridge and milk in the oven after making a cut of tea, also tried to clean the toilet with the cordless house phone!! ooops!

My driving misdemeanours are many but i only past my test when i was about 2 weeks pregnant so i put that down to inexperience.

I have driven 10miles though and pulled up outside my house and thought "I don't remember getting here" - that is VERY scary!

i have also taken to making racing car noises when i go round corners in the car - i only ever do this when i have passengers!! odd!!

And i keep "breaking the car" - my OH is a mechanic and everyday he comes home and the car is "making another funny noise" or "pulling to the left" (that'd be the camber of the road dear!).

The best one was when i pointed out our flat tyre - it was flat on the bottom!! "that's where the weight of the car is on it and it's on the road love" ooops!!

I know !
