o.k. this is my second pregnancy and I am 9w 3d-well, I am already getting the pregnancy stupids, forgetting simple stuff from one minute to the next. I usually have an awesome memory, but when I am pregnant (with my 1st and this one) it's a whole nother story. Just wondering if any other women have this problem?

lol I know I certainly will have the problem when I'm about to be a mother in the future.
You just have so much on your mind, you can't possible remember the small stuff!
Keep a notebook or daily planner, and you remember you've got to do something, write it down (even the small stuff, like make fresh coffee). Make a habit of checking it regularly. That should help!

When I was pregnant I was always forgetting things. I would've forgotten my head if it wasn't attached.
My fiance would talk about his day. Then about 15 minutes later he would ask me what I thought. I'd have to tell him to repeat the whole story over again.
He always thought that it was because i wasn't listening to him, but that truely wasnt the problem, I honestly couldn't remember what he had said.
I found it very helpful to make remiinders of things.
Put notes on the fridge, or if it was something that I had to do out of the house, I would tape a note to the steering wheel of the car.
Those are the only things that I can think of that might help you out....Best of luck!!

yea, I wish that men could be pregnant for a day so that they could understand what it's like and not think that we are just using pregnancy as an excuse. lol. It's nice to see I'm not the only one!

I know that I had the pregnancy stupids! With my first baby, I started off early not being able to remember things and being so uncoordinated! I think that it has just gotten worse with me because 3 months after I had my daughter I got pregnant with my son and he is three months now. I still do not think that I have my memory back because my days are so chaotic with changing diapers and feeding babies that it is so hard to remember things that I have to do on a daily basis. I locked my keys in the car when pregnant and forgot so many things that I was supposed to do.
