"baby brain" - examples of, and does it really exist?

[nellypope]

I put my lunch box in the laundry basket this morning! So either I am suffering from a blow to the head or baby brain really does exist!

Anyone else done anything really daft whilst pregnant?

Well I put the orange juice in the microwave last week and found my keps in my tea cup this morning.

I've never been pregnant!

Too much to recall but the bad news is that baby brain does not leave once the baby is born!!!!

I drove past the Rover works in Swindon the other day (I know cowley rover works in oxford rather well too) and as we drove past I glanced at the entrance sign which read "Mini Rover Plant - Swindon"

...On reading this I turned to my husband and said, "is that like the Cowley works, only smaller"!

hairdryer in fridge, cant see things right in front of me. My youngest is a year old, it doesnt go away :(

oh and pregnancy eyesight is just the same. Had perfect eyesight until pregnant with my first

Yes it is perfectly normal and expected........I wouldn't call it baby brain though - I'd call it maternal preoccupation.....and there's nothing better to be more preoccupied with......... :-)

oh razzle I completely agree :)

I kept leaving the house in my slippers. I'm still really forgetful now and mine is 5 months old.
And I agree, its an excellent excuse for general slackness :o)

I keep forgetting everything I plan to say but a few seconds ago.
