Pregnancy brain moment

Whenever I hear people talk about pregnancy brain, I never believed it, especially since I hadn't experienced it yet. After making something to eat just now, I can completely understand. One of my favorite, easy to make meals is rice with powdered chicken bullion and butter, it makes kind of like a chicken flavored rice.
So I make my food and all is well and good. I gonto sit down to eat to realize I didn't put chicken flavoring on my rice. I put butter and powdered diet caffeine free Lipton iced tea mix on my rice...
I really can't say I reccomend it lol.

No I haven't, Not good. I really hope I don't experience that. This is first episode I've had and I'm almost 28 weeks, so hoping I don't have
Any more episodes of that lol.3 -

Hahaha. I have a friend who has 4 little ones all under 6. She sometimes forgets she having a conversation with an adult and starts taking like the way she does with her kids.

Whoops lol.
When I was on painkillers for wisdom tooth removal 6 years ago, I had quite a few moments like this. I was home alone and was asked to feed the cat. No problem! Took out the canned cat food while I also prepared my own dinner. Well I managed to give the cat my dinner and went to sit down on the couch about to eat the cats food when I was like wait! Something isn't right here. My family still makes fun of me for it.6 -

Ahhh! On the plus side at least you didn't start eating it? (Right??)

And then comes menopause brain. I went on and on about my haircut today. My husband looked confused. Because, well, I had an eye exam, complete with dilation.5

No, thankfully I realized that I had not made shredded chicken and chicken liver for dinner. Poor cat was also confused. He just sat looking at his bowl like---uhhhh why did you feed me mashed potatoes?Sabine_Stroehm wrote: »And then comes menopause brain. I went on and on about my haircut today.

Omg! I could see me doing this.2 -

I had three in diapers at once for a short time - that is insanity.
Mom brain kicks in immediately. It did not take long to start going through everyone's name until I got to the one I wanted. Now I just point and tell them, "You know. That thing I want." Usually they know what I mean. A lifetime of brain change. Embrace it! LOL 1 -
Don't worry, you and the stove aren't best of friends anyway
I check the fridge when I can't find something, and quite often try answering the phone by picking up the tv remote.
I can't even blame it on menopause, way past it, or baby brain, way, way past it, I have always done it.
I also do noun yoga- if I can't think of a word I 'pose' it, or call it thingy.
Luckily my whole family is the same. (we have understanding SOs)
Cheers, h.

I took a shower wearing glasses shortly after giving birth to my first.4 -

Oh me too! Yesterday I was staring at my screen for ages because I couldn't remember how to put an attachment on an email - turns out you have to click "reply" first :-/
@elphie754 I haven't commented on any of your threads, but I've read them and just wanted to congratulate you on your pregnancy and hope you feel better soon xx2 -
Just had to share this from a site I visit to get an LOL from when needed. It just fit too perfectly.7 -

Bloody marvellous.
I had a good couple of brain farts over Christmas and each time I thought of you and thought 'wow elphie754 has nothing to worry about'.
Yup, love the dog/cat food.
Cheers, h.1 -

I'm trying to battle it now, but I keep forgetting simple words that I use all the time.1 -
Okay-another giggle moment today, and definitely a Freudian slip.
I was making breakfast this morning for everyone, which included toast. So I casually asked SOs if they would like "butter, peanut butter or KY Jelly" on their toast. Both just looked at me like I had lost my damn mind. I was like-what?? They go-"What kind of Jelly??" I go "grape, why? We don't have any other type". They then told me what I had actually said. Whoops!!
Just like iced tea rice, I wouldn't recommend KY jelly toast.5 -
I had a doctor tell me that it was just stress and not the beginning of Alzheimer1

What's wrong with Kentucky jelly? :laugh:
I keep forgetting names of things lately, and I have no excuse. No pregnancy, no kids, no menopause.2 -
Lol. I'm constantly calling things by the wrong name now. We just went grocery shopping, and I had butter in my hands. I turn to my female SO and go "this is the flavor pudding you wanted right?" Her face was priceless.nutmegoreo wrote: »Okay-another giggle moment today, and definitely a Freudian slip.

@elphie754 You have brought a smile to dial today. Love the experiences of all sharing so much, at least you know you aren't alone and it may be the beginning of a general down hill slide into spouting nonsense.
Good point to know that your actions will now become stories that evolve into family legends and will provide hilarity for many generations.
My 1st Mum moment was a doozy. Baby #1, first outing....Lordy I had to pack so much stuff that it looked like I was going away for a week. Last minute check: Nappies, spare clothes, bottles, more spare nappies etc (you get the picture)....
Proudly drove away after carefully locking the house. 2 blocks away had a niggling thought I had forgotten something.....
You guessed it I left the kid at home
Jeebus - Now see the ETA 'cause spelling 4 -

Hahahahahahaha! That would totally be something I would do. I've accidentally started out to the vet with and empty cat carrier before. I didn't realize they were escape artists. I realized it as I got in the elevator and the carrier wasn't meowing.3 -
I feel like I never really recovered from it entirely! My memory is definitely not what it was. I was relieved to know it was an actual thing and I wasn't losing my mind haha.0

After 6 kids, I'm surprised I know my own name. :laugh:3
