forgetfullness......????

like everyone else(well women anyway) before being pregnant you forget the odd thing here and there. but it just seems am getting more forgetful than normal recently.

is this normal??

completly

if i dont write it down i wont remember it

Pregnancy mushy brain! Mine didn't really recover lol!! I have to write everything down or I'll forget something important. I am known to write things on the calendar and then see them later on and wonder what it's supposed to mean I don't have the pregnancy excuse either any more

lol welcome to parenthood!

I was never a forgetful person, but once I was pregnant it got worse, and I don't think you ever recover either!

I have to set alarms and reminders on my phone to remember anything

I say that the more children you have the more forgetful you become as you give your child the brain cells

Agreed!

OMG completely normal hun, as the others have said, you will need to get used to it, i don't think it ever recovers either. I was bad before my kids tbh, but now i am awful. I even forget when it is written down because i forget to look where i wrote it! lol Xx

Oh yep - id say it's very normal - ha haaaaa

Twice i have gotten in the car to go to work, makeup on and everything and Mark has turned around and said - not brushing your hair today then....

I forget things at work quite often too

i nearly wash my face with toothpaste the other day and i also poured a cap of toilet cleaner out instead of mouthwash

luckily i realised befoe it was too late

and it doesn't stop after pregnancy I'm afraid to tell ya! Which is why I have my alarm set today for the time I have to pick my 5 yr old up from the bus stop (she normally goes to afterschool care but since I'm not employed at the moment, she takes the bus home sometimes) if I didn't set my alarm there's a good chance she would get off the bus and not find me there waiting
