Why is it everytime i get pregnant i seem to lose my mind i forget normal everyday things like for instance i have voicemail on my home phone and you need to dial a number to access your messages i do this on a normal everyday basis but the other day i entered every number i thought it coudl of been until my husband got home and told me the number it turns out i was only off by a few numbers but still why is this, and then i have 3 aunts who all have birthdays in August and every year i send them cards mind you one of the aunts is like a second mother to me but yet again i couldnt remeber the exact day of their birthdays and i had to call my mother yesterday to remind me and these are only a few examples , am i the only one who feels as if there losing their memory when pregnant? my husband teases me because evertime i get pregnant i become forgetfull and clumsy has anyone else experienced things like this when pregnant???? please feel free to share :)

I can TOTALLY relate to you!!! My first pregnancy I remember taking 3 trips to the grocery store to buy bread. All in the same day! Each time I came home with at least $25 worth of groceries, but no bread! Finally, DH ended up making the simple trip for me. :) By the time I was pregnant with my 3rd, I started taking FLAX SEED OIL vitamins. They really helped with the memory retention, and I did't forget things like I had with the other two. It might be something worth talking to your doctor about. It made the world of difference for me. good luck to you princessmom!
