I'm 16 weeks and have become so forgetful lately. It is very frustrating for me.

Hi everyone. Yes, I am in my 13th week and the past week or two I will be in the middle of saying something, or starting to say something, then I totally forget what it was. I have to sit there and think about it. This happened to me the first few weeks of my pregnancy then seemed to go away. I guess it pulled an Arnold Schwarzenegger and said, "I'll be back!" LOL.
I've also done the famous "walk into a room and then forget why I went in there." I almost tried to get the broom out of the refrigerator instead of from the pantry which is right next to the fridge. Sometimes I really feel like a great big DUH!

Oh my goodness! I am sooo glad I am not alone. I have ADHD so I thought at first that maybe my meds were not strong enough (have since gone off) I forgot I had my husband on the phone tonight (TWICE!!! I was at work and had to help someone, told him I would be right back and forgot!) Just absentmindedness, I will go into a room and completely forget why I am there! Glad this is normal!

My scattered brain can't keep track of time. I think I've been in the shower for 10 minutes, and I've really been there for 40 min. I lost a whole week of time somewhere bet. Nov. 1 and this week, thinking I had plenty of time to do things before the holiday!

I managed to completely forget to attend an important meeting with my boss - twice. My boss was nice about it, but that was a little embarrasing.

How does ORANGE JUICE in your cereal sound? Well I awoke one morning craving a bowl of boo berry luckycharms, already having the taste savored in my cravings I poured the O.J instead of the milk.Placeing the juice back I then grabbed my bowl and walked back to the bedroom to sit down and watch the morning news then I shoveled a spoon full of YUK into my mouth . Yes I am a scattermommy to be.
