I'm afraid you're right. I did some dumb things last time around, but nothing dangerous! And I had no idea it can stick around after baby is born... great :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2216420 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 13:29:51 +0000 ValentineMommy 2216420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know what's scary? I don't think it ever goes away. And it gets worse with subsequent pregnancies. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2216417 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 13:28:42 +0000 NeonPink1234 2216417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shaved my left leg twice, and my right leg 0 times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2216272 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 11:59:24 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2216272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can never remember what time DD ate before daycare. Every morning daycare asks, and I have to think pretty hard about it. At least once a week I make it up. </p> <p>I have worse I'm sure, but baby brain keeps me from remembering. </p> <p>P.S. Baby brain only intensifies after having a baby. Don't think I'm giving this excuse up just cause she's on the outside now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2216263 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 11:51:07 +0000 Corduroy 2216263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the car key stories make me laugh. My key got stuck in the ignition when I parked at work one day. I ripped it into three pieces in preggers rage. I could not get the car shut off at all and I had to pee so badly. I had to get a very senior colleague to help me since he was the only one that came through the parking lot for 10 minutes. I guess I should have left it running.</p> <p>Unfortunately the pregnancy brain has not gone away after delivery. DS is almost two weeks old and I forgot his name while telling my friend a story the other day. So awkward. It didn't come to me for like 3 minutes. All I could think of were names we didn't choose. I felt like the worst mom ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2216236 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 11:14:25 +0000 pinkarmadillo 2216236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: I did this too!! I sat down to pee and still had my panties on....at work! So embarrassing.</p> <p>I also have left the gas stove on after cooking dinner twice. DH now knows to check after me so I don't burn down the house. </p> <p>Thank God my car doesn't allow me to lock my keys with the key fob still in it bc if it did I would have been locked out several times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2216168 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 10:16:30 +0000 raspberries 2216168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually take Greek yogurt for lunch, and I accidentally took the little tub of butter instead. (To be fair, they're about the same size.... :meh: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2216156 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 10:03:50 +0000 Mama Bird 2216156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha these are funny and scary at the same time! </p> <p>@kiddosc: @travellingbee: oh no! So glad your cars were still there when you got back! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2215845 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 22:15:31 +0000 kiddosc 2215845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I got to the lot and called my husband freaking out because I thought I locked my keys in my car... nope still running, unlocked. He'll never let me live it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2215839 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 22:06:03 +0000 travellingbee 2215839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: OMG that's hilarious! I was going to post almost the same thing- in houston- but not all day! Just went into a building and came back out and realized my car was still running with the keys in it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2215835 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 22:02:17 +0000 Astro Bee 2215835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put the box of cereal in the fridge instead of the milk. Sadly, this happened after the baby came, not before. But it's really indicative of the dumb things I did when my mind was just checked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2215676 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 19:38:54 +0000 LauraBear 2215676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost my whole ring of keys!! :shocked: So embarrassing... Happened around 27 weeks and still no sign of them.</p> <p>I've forgotten a few minor things at work recently but nothing too bad. Feeling pretty out of it, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2215656 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 19:27:45 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2215656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: holy moly! </p> <p>I sat down to pee without removing my underwear first... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2215655 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 19:21:16 +0000 kiddosc 2215655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left my car running all day in a parking lot in downtown Houston. Amazingly, it was still there when I got off work. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2215643 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 19:13:57 +0000 simplyfelicity 2215643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I legit tried to hang my toothbrush on the towel rack one morning. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-brain-go-away#post-2215529 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 16:53:21 +0000 Mama Bird 2215529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, that does it. I'm on the wrong train for the third time this week, and late for my dad's birthday. Nothing more embarrassing for a New Yorker than not knowing your trains.</p> <p>I've also almost burned down the house leaving the cooking on the stove, went to work with two umbrellas at once, gave DH a giant bruise because I dropped a cutting board on his foot, and called one of DS's buddies from day care the wrong name. Twice.</p> <p>I miss having brains :crying: </p> <p>Anyone else have silly pregnancy brain stories? </p>
