Yes me to I keep forgetting stupid little things that are kinda important. I think it's because we are concentrationg on our babies. I don't know I know that I worry.

I feel like I am losing my mind because I keep forgetting things. I just blame it on the hormones.

Check out this classic preg brain fart:

On Monday I was having a lot of trouble seeing out of my right eye. I wear contacts. I have MS and started to worry that I was getting some eye trouble (typical MS symptom) and was all prepared to call my optometrist to get my vision checked. Then I realized that I forgot to put my right contact in.

DUH! Oh well, at least it wasn't a vision problem!

I am constantly forgetting things, which drives me nuts because I don't always think of myself as spacy! I get laughed at because I can forget something simple like, where did I put the phone last, or my favorite..forgetting something in the microwave! Oh, pregnancy is so funny at times!

Yeah I forget silly little things to. I try to right down my whole days plan first thing in the morning, or right before bed. It helps clear my mind, and I can just check off each thing as I do them. I even right down eating, or cooking, if not I just skip right over it.

~L~ Reminds me of the time I put the boxed cereal in the fridge after putting some in my bowl. My hubby found it when he was reaching in for milk, and I don't even remember putting it in there. Yeah, prego brain, and then it will be baby brain. Face it ladies. We're screwed. ~LOL~

I have "brain farts" every day. Seems like the baby sucks the energy and your brains out of you. lol

Yep! Even with my first pregnancy when i was 21, my second at 27 and this one at 34. My Homeopath told me to carry on taking Folic acid with this and my last pregnancy it contains DHA which feeds you and the babies brain. It is also found in eggs and you can get pregnacare fish oils which help provide the brain with something or another, they also do a pregnancy vitamin tablet which helps too.

Good luck.

Oh yeah, that is completely normal, LOL. Luckily after you give birth, your mind starts to come back as well :) Of course, then you become really sleep deprived so there will be times when it disappears again :)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
