Hi girls
Just wondered if baby brain goes once baby arrives. It's getting stupid. I just popped into town, paid in some cheques before I realised I hadn't got a ticket for my car so had to run back as fast as my bump could carry me (not that fast lol!). Then had to go back into town to do the rest of my shopping. Came back with loads of stuff but didn't get money out.
So it took me twice as long to comlplete half my jobs!
Someone please tell me i'm not going to leave baby somewhere, i'm quite worried now!
Thanks

Nope, you will have baby brain for the foreseeable future My best trick ever was going out for a walk with my eldest in the pushchair, when I got home I couldn't find my keys, untill the little girl from next door came out and gave them to me. Apparantly her mum saw me lock the front door and then just walk off and leave them in the lock to make it worse my rather nice car was right next to the door on the drive and the keys were on the same ring Good job I had nice neighbours, although I think the little girl thought I was completely deranged

OOhh no! Thats not good, i was reall hoping id be back to normal after baby, im a mess! ive turned up to two appointments with either the completely day wrong or the time wrong...ever so embarrasing, im lucky all my bills are direct debits are around the same time of the month or else my whole life woudl be upside down! ahhh! x

God girls, lets just hjope that maternal instinct kicks in and I don't lose baby! I'm loving the stories though, it's making DH laugh! xx

bcos babybrain is linked to hormonal changes they say until yr body is back to normal (what ever that is ha!)...you can still get baby brain!

Totally agree with everyone - nope, afraid not!

SBJr is 12 and I've never recovered

When I was pregnant with TJ, I was always forgetting things. I'd stop mid-sentence and just look blankly at Takers not remembering what I was saying. The butter went in the cupboard, the plates in the fridge...Takers stopped mentioning it in the end and just puts things back where they should be

oh MKB, i'm hoping thats the case but seeing what SB says is pretty much what i'm doing at the moment I have no chance!
SB - I keep doign that, half way through a sentence just forget what an item is called an dlook really blankly. Its quite embarassing at work!
xxxx

Just have to concur with everyone else 'NO' and if this doesnt make sense its probably because i forgot what im talking about already!!!

No, sorry! My LO is 1 this week and mine's got no better - and reading some of the other responses from people with older kids, I don't hold out much hope! You will adapt and learn to live with it though!

lol....maybe we think we still have baby brain as we will be soooo busy with baby! No time for remembering things xx

I think it's more about the brain cells dying off and not being replaced than being too busy and so forgetting stuff

That's my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it

lol @sb, just wanted to add mine never went my eldest is 16 and 4 babies later my head is a complete shed!

Totally agree with everyone else. Mine is 14 months and I am worse than ever! I always forget what I am saying mid-sentence and go into a room to do something, then wonder what I'm doing there. I've only just turned 21 in fact, so I think it's slightly worrying.
Slightly O/T - did you know that brain cells start dying aged 15?

That explains a lot

noooooo infact it gets worse, baby brain is much worse than pregnancy brain hon,lol.xxx

well all i can say is i really hope so or im stuffed!!!lol
