Pregnancy brain is no joke, even if people like to use it as hilarious fodder. There were times when I wanted to throw something because a simple word totally escaped me at the moment. And, as a writer, that’s pretty debilitating.
That said, the 12 examples below are pretty funny…as long as they’re not happening to you.
#12. Ha!
Sometimes I forget I'm pregnant, catch myself in the mirror & think: 'God, I've really let myself go' #pregnancybrain

#11. Did it at least look like your car?
I was just leaving work and I got in someone else's car 😂😂 I was like wtf what am I doing #pregnancybrain

#10. Okay, that’s pretty bad.
My wife and I went for a walk and halfway through she got scared that we left the baby at the house. It’s still in her stomach. #PregnancyBrain

#9. Whose house was it?
No joke. I literally invited all my friends to the wrong house. #Pregnancybrain

#3. Probably because you always have to go, so what’s the difference?
I walked into a bathroom stall, placed a toilet seat cover down and then flushed it. Then I walked out of the stall totally disregarding the fact that I still need to go. #PregnancyBrain

#1. I’m sure they appreciated it.
I just left a voicemail and said " please call me back at your convenience. Amen." Instead of "goodbye". #pregnancybrain is real y'all

Stay sane out there, mamas. And remember, it will be over soon – and then you’ll be forgetting stuff because of sleep deprivation!
