anyone else turn into a mindless idiot when pregnant?

holy hell. i'm such a wierdo right now. i can't think straight, i forget common words, forget where i put things, i can barely drive (and therefore don't) and sometime slur my words. what the hell? is that normal? i know i'm a bit sleep deprived and with the baby still trying to claw her way out through my esophagus i must be oxygen deprived, but seriously, i feel like a drooling idiot.

 

but a sexy drooling idiot and thats all that counts

 

sexy one who can't have sex...lol. maybe that's a problem, too! all that sex energy building up and pushing my brains outta my ears...

 

More omega threes darlin' thats all I can say. I felt that way while preg, and afterwards. Build your brain and baby's.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "Mindless Idiot", but my wife did get suddenly forgetful, which was bad because I am always forgetful and she usually remembers things for me.

 

I honestly think that my forgetfulness became worse after my pregnancies. Not so much after the birth of my oldest son, but definitely after the birth of my twins. At least I can laugh about it for the most part though.

 

yeah, my mom and dad will call just to giggle at me. my friends used to call me to ask me trivia shit and ask my opinion. now i'm just a moron.

 

Yer lucky, I have to smoke copious amounts of 'orrible weed to get like that....enjoy mindlessness if it's free

 

i hate it. yesterday i couldn't think of the word "truck." yeah. WTF? dave's getting ahuge kick out of it, though. he has to help me with all sorts of very basic words and concepts.

 

Yah, was prolly a lil' cruel for me to make fun of yer predicament...soz KC...

Let 'em laugh tho'.....am sure yer'll get yer revenge once the bairn is here and yer've got yer breath back

 

hehe. it wasn't "truck" i was trying to think of, it was a FREIGHT truck. jeez. i have to read the instructions on how to make instant oatmeal...

 

Aren't you on bedrest right now? I bet your mind hasn't had enough stimulation lately so you are just kinda "blah." What are you doing for entertainment?

I was like that after my 2 surgeries when I spent a lot of time in bed...of course it coulda been the painkillers...hehe

 

well, this is pretty much my entertainment. daytime tv is KILLING me. i can't take it.

 

God, I still feel like that! Like the other day I said "you know, what's that thing, that thing that you, oh you know what I mean, oh yeah, a chair! That thing you sit in!"


Having kids will turn your brain to applesauce.

 

I'm not too far into this pregnancy and my brain is totally mush right now...I forget words...I think I forgot the word cereal once. I forget basic concepts like tying shoes (just for a few secs)....It could be, for me, the fact that I'm nannying such little kids though....They can't speak well or at all, don't know basic concepts, and they are whom I hang out with all day long....oh well...

 

I was like that yesterday. I had a glass container that had cinnamon and sugar in it, and I was shaking it to combine the two for on top of the muffins I was making. Well, all of a sudden it flew out of my hands sending sugar and cinnamon soaring all over the place. My husband comes into the kitchen because he heard me muttering, and asks me what happened. All I could do was point and say "that, there, that stuff, everywhere!" I couldn't even think to call it cinnamon and sugar.

I hate when things like that happen, when I can't seem to remember the names of things that I know damn well what they are. Ugghh.

 

yeah, beautiful. i'm a total klutz. i can't hold anything small.

 

That would explain OUR arguments the past few months. Christ.

 

hey, no need to go hurting my feelings now. man.

 

i did turn into a moron during the latter stages of my pregnancy, but truly, it's gotten much much worse since the baby was born. i'm not sure if it is due to sleep deprivation, or just being preoccupied, but i can barely carry on a conversation, or type, or read or do anything now.

i'm wondering if it ever gets better.

i think my i.q. has dropped about 50 points.
