There is brain fog and then there's brain fart, the former being not as serious as the medically-recognized latter. Both happen to people one day or another. Pregnant women, however, tend to suffer from something else. Baby brain.
The term refers to memory errors, poor concentration, and absent-mindedness reported by many women during pregnancy and early motherhood. We're talking forgetting what company you work for when talking to a client, pouring chicken broth into your smoothie instead of almond milk... You know, the good stuff. Even though research on the existence of baby brain is mixed, take a look at some of the stuff pregnant women and their partners post and be the judge of that yourself.

It’s less dangerous leaving the baby at the house than keeping it in her stomach.
Awww, sweetie mum. Those maternal instincts kick in hard. This upcoming kid is not going to get lost in a grocery store. Mom is already on alert. And pregnancy is such a hormone rollercoaster. Stay healthy, stay safe family.
Vicki Broadbent, founder of Honest Mum and author of Mumboss, has also suffered from baby brain. Broadbent found it can last from the very early days in the first trimester of pregnancy to at least the first year after your baby is born. "From unknowingly wearing a dress back to front in public to forgetting an important work meeting (I was out shopping at the time-whoops) and missing my husband's birthday on two separate years when I was pregnant both times (sorry Peter), I can verify that for me, baby brain is real," she told Bored Panda.
My 39-Week Pregnant Wife Went To The Store To “Get Stuff For Dinner”. This Is What She Came Home With
Yvonne S. Butler Tobah, an M.D. who treats high-risk pregnancies, highlighted a recent review of 20 studies assessing more than 700 pregnant and 500 nonpregnant women. It concluded that general cognitive functioning, memory, and executive functioning were in fact significantly poorer in pregnant women.
"Other research suggests that memory problems during pregnancy aren't as widespread as believed, but can be seen in women experiencing depression shortly before childbirth," the doctor explained.
"If you're pregnant or a new mother, don't assume that you're experiencing a cognitive decline."

I am male, and several times when going to put clothes in the hamper, I have very nearly dropped them in the trash can.
Heck I'm not pregnant I came home put the groceries away in the fridge and put the car keys in the freezer- took a while to find them🤣
Sometimes I go to brush my teeth, then completely forget what I was going to do and end up washing my hands.
I put my underwear into the fridge and didn't realize untill my mom found it next morning. I am not pregnant, and I am not a woman. (No, I wasn't drunk)
"Biologically, it makes sense that you might be more forgetful during pregnancy as your body is working hard creating life and you're no doubt, the most tired you've ever been," Broadbent said. "This will prepare you for the sleep deprivation that kicks in once the baby is born hence why the baby brain prevails.
"Your body and mind must go into survival mode as it prioritizes making a baby, meaning that a few, far less important things (like your husband's birthday) might inevitably fall by the wayside. What is more important than creating life, anyway? Don't sweat it. I feel you garner superpowers while pregnant and when you become a Mom: the maternal instinct is almost magical (I've known when my kids have temperatures or are unwell from another room in the middle of the night) and I've personally experience heightened senses including precision peripheral vision which has prevented them from danger many times (e.g. stopped my then-toddler being run over years ago in the supermarket car park). We mamas might be tired but we are STRONG!"
Sent The Kid To School In Full Costume Just To Find Out I Not Only Had Wrong Day, But Wrong Week
I would hate to be that kid, I would be so embarrased! She's adorable though.
However, beyond the relationship between pregnancy and memory, some researchers are looking at the ways pregnancy might positively change a woman's brain. Butler Tobah pointed out another recent study which compared the MRI scans of women's brains before pregnancy and after giving birth to the brain scans of women who have never given birth. The scans of women after pregnancy showed changes in brain structure that might help women adapt to motherhood.

Pregnancy Brain Is So Real. My Daughters Daycare Lady Sent Me This. I’m So Embarrassed 💀

The funny thing about kids is they don't seem to care about this, and they often put them on like this once they start dressing themselves.
My fourth grader, up until last year would wear her shoes on the wrong feet and tell me it didn't feel any different...wth?

Warm it up and peel the big parts off, then use metal scrub to remove leftovers.
I'd say those things are so cheap they're not worth the effort and it's better not to heat them again as some have suggested, as the burning plastic releases bad fumes (could be cancerigenous)

Preggo Brain Exhibit A. Be Sure To Actually Put The Coffee That You Just Ground Up Into The Coffee Maker. Okay. Let’s Try This Again Hahahah .
This is just a lack of coffee. I've poured boiling water on my cereal instead of in the cup before today! I would be very surprised if I was pregnant!
Did that a few days ago. No pregnancy to blame. Maybe it's menopause brain. Yeah, that the ticket!
Looks like you need to clean the coffee maker with some distilled vinager first.
That Moment You Realize You're So Tired You Put Your Pants On Backwards Hahaha!
my friend put on his pants backwards, went the whole day without noticing, until he finally left his room and his mom pointed it out. he even used his pockets without noticing
So he didn't use the bathroom at all the entire day?
Load More Replies...I once went to the library with my pants on backwards…didn’t notice until after we got home
Ok, a bit of background first. I’m an unofficial foster parent to a 12 year old in a 21 year old’s body. So anyway the in house care lady turns up, and because she had to get up early to be at my place by 7:00 am, she was in a rush to get dressed, I didn’t want to embarrass her by telling her she had her pants on inside out, and I also assumed she would go home afterwards where she’d notice, and probably change into something more formal, so it wouldn’t have mattered. What I hadn’t counted on was her going downtown after leaving my place.
That happened to me... Although I was in gym class at school, which is an hour-long class... I was also in front of my crush and didn't realize that my pants were backwards 'til after the class when one of my friends said " Yo, girl your pant are on backwards " then she laughed as i ran to the locker room.
My Pregnancy Brain Is Going To Kill Me. I Just Cooked Air For 2 Minutes Because Of Where I Put My Taquitos. Now My Microwave Won't Turn On.

Ever put on a pot of water to boil and realize after 20 minutes that you turned on the wrong burner... if at all? Yup... Done that! LOL
Once I set my microwave to 10 hours instead of 10 minutes, fortunatelly realized before I burnt down the house. The potatoes turned into coals.

Google it. Apple cheese exists - it's a traditional dessert in Lithuania.
There's a brand of smoked Gouda that has an apple on the label. It's "apple smoked."
My mom had an ancient cookbook from the 50's when I was growing up. On the cover was an apple pie- with a slice of damn cheddar cheese on top. I'll never understand that one, but eternally think of "Apple cheese" when I imagine it.
*Walks in store* *reads list* *goes to a employee* " Um, excuse me. Do you know where I can find apple cheese?" "Um, sorry what?" the employee replies. " Apple cheese..." " Sorry, ma'am but we don't have that here. And I'm pretty sure no store has that... Are you okay?"

I decided to hard boil (steam?) several eggs in the instant pot this morning and without thinking (#pregnancybrain) put all the eggshells down the garbage disposal which of course clogged.
