Monday Memory

#1 August 29th, 2011, 03:16 AM

I know back when we were all pregnant, a lot of us had "prego brain".

If you had the forgetfulness and clumsiness during your pregnancy how is it now?

Do you have mommy brain now?

Mine is so much worse now. I used to have a really good memory with things like appts. I've never have to write them down or anything, I'd just remember them but now I have to put it in my phone or I just won't
show up or I'll get the time wrong.

ummmm....ya. I had hoped it would get better, but now it's all about mental exhaustion. I'm so tired and shifting so many gears in a given day that I can honestly say, I don't think it has gotten better at all.

I feel dumb most days.

Shoot, I haven't ever gotten any better since my first one. Now it is just a way of life. My iPhone and google calendar are the ONLY things that keep on track.

I still walk to different rooms and have no idea why I went in there. Call friends... no idea why I called them. Yep... I'm pretty bad.

Glad Im not the only one. I was fine after my first. I had always had an awesome memory. Never had to write things down and could remember anything and everything. NOW...wow, has it changed. I write myself notes everyday. I have a calendar I use, and also reminders on my phone. It's like I had zero short term memory now. I used to always tease dh because he could never remember things and now HE has to remind me of things I was doing or saying.

OMG. I'm in the middle of full blown pregnancy brain again. It is WAY worse than ever before. I can't seem to remember anything. I pray it's better once she's here.
