Moms Who Have A Serious Case Of Pregnancy Brain
Pregnancy brain is very much a real thing. It's what happens when every cell in your body is busy making another human, so you have none left to remember where you left your keys or how to complete simple tasks.
Pregnant women get a pass because they're literally creating life, but if we did any of the things on this list without being pregnant, that would be pretty embarrassing. Pregnancy brain can be downright hilarious sometimes.
Two Different Shoes
This woman walked out of her house wearing two clearly different shoes. In her defense, they are both silver shoes, and they do both kind of blend in with the floor...
A Bad Way To Start A Thursday
This pregnant woman just wanted a bowl of oatmeal, but for some reason, her microwave wasn't cooperating with her on this particular Thursday. She forgot how much water to put in the container and then this happened.
Poor Waffles
This woman forgot to put eggs in her waffle batter. She didn't realize her mistake until she opened her waffle maker and saw this disaster. Pregnancy brain claims another victim.
Another Baking Error
This woman was making cupcakes like she does almost every week, but this week, she forgot to put baking powder in the batter. Now her cupcakes aren't as tall as they usually are.
When You Leave The Stove On
This woman was boiling the parts of her breast pump in a pot of water on the stove to sterilize them. Then she walked away from the pot, left the stove on, and forgot about it.
Don't Cry Over Spoiled Milk
This pregnant woman put a whole jug of milk back in the pantry instead of the fridge. She found it in the pantry the next morning. That milk can't be good to drink still, right?
Pants On Backward
This pregnant woman literally put her pants on backwards. In her defense, maternity pants are kind of weird and there's no zipper to tell you where the front is. Still, this looks kind of silly.
Forgetting Everything
This woman forgot her lunch, her allergy medication, and her water bottle at home. She was wondering what was wrong with her, but her husband was quick to remind her that she's carrying a child.
Too Much Baking Powder
We already saw what happens when pregnancy brain causes you to leave baking powder out of a recipe. This is what happens when pregnancy brain causes you to add too much baking powder to a recipe.
Not How Cars Work
This pregnant woman literally tried to start her car with her pulse oximeter. I get that these two devices are roughly the same shape and size, but they are completely different colors and one is clearly not for cars.
It's Not His 30th Birthday
This pregnant woman tried to surprise her husband with a 30th birthday cake. Unfortunately, it wasn't his 30th birthday. He was turning 31 (which she totally knew because she got him a "happy 31st birthday" card).
When You Turn On The Wrong Element
This woman left her oven mitt sitting on the stove, and then she turned on the stove thinking she was turning on the element next to the oven mitt. It was the wrong element.
A Home Game
This woman was watching a sports game (it was either basketball or hockey, which both have "Kings" teams) when she mistook a home game for an away game (much to her husband's amusement).
When You Forget To Put The Water In
This pregnant lady tried to make herself a cup of instant mac and cheese. The only problem was that she forgot to add water to the container. Now she has a cup of burnt noodles.
So Much For That Chocolate Milk
This pregnant woman discovered that she put the chocolate milk back in the cup cupboard instead of in the fridge where it belongs. It was a sad day in her household.
That's Not Thread
This woman kept a roll of toilet paper near her while she was working on a sewing project so she could blow her nose, but she kept mistaking the toilet paper for the thread.
What Is Apple Cheese?
This pregnant woman made a shopping list for herself, but when she got to the grocery store and took out the list, she realized that she wrote down "apple cheese." What even is apple cheese?
Coffee Woes
This pregnant woman was looking forward to a hot cup of decaf coffee, but when the coffee was done and she took out the pitcher, she realized that she remembered the water but not the coffee part of the coffee.
The Wrong Lid
Okay, that is not the lid that's supposed to go on that container of butter. It's not even close to being the right lid. It's an entirely different shape and material.
A Painful Mistake
This woman accidentally poured boiling water on her finger because of her pregnancy brain, and then the only Band-Aids she had in her house were these Beauty and the Beast ones.
Put It Back!
We're starting to see a trend here. Pregnant women keep forgetting to put things back in the fridge. This orange juice ended up in a kitchen cabinet instead of the fridge where it belongs.
Check Your Oven Before You Turn It On
This pregnant woman forgot to take the lid of her Pyrex dish out of the oven before she turned it on. She started smelling something chemically, and then she opened the oven to find this.
The Worst Smoothie Ever
This woman accidentally put chicken broth into her smoothie instead of almond milk. To be fair, those two cartons do look wildly similar. She doesn't look too happy with her mistake.
Burnt Macaroni
It looks like more than one pregnant woman has had issues with this instant macaroni. You'd think they'd be able to handle the simplest meal you could possibly make, but nope, that pregnancy brain has other plans.
Keys In The Fridge
This woman looked all over her house for her keys only to find them literally an hour later in the fridge sitting on a box of leftover pizza. Explain that, pregnancy brain.
She Left The Keys In The Door
Not only did this woman forget her keys, she forgot her keys in her door. That might be the worst place you could possibly leave your keys. What's the point of even locking the door?
The Wrong Name
Pregnancy brain causes you to do some pretty weird things, including getting your best friend's name wrong. This is a very intelligent woman who would never have made a mistake like this before she got pregnant.
Is That Detergent?
This pregnant woman put a bottle of laundry detergent in the fridge for some reason. We're not really sure why she had detergent in the kitchen in the first place...
That's Not The Right Key
This woman tried to use her car fob to unlock her front door. That's not how keys work, babe. Try actually putting your house key in the door and turning it.
It Happens To The Best Of Us
As much as you might try to argue that pregnancy brain is just a myth, these photos don't lie. Pregnant women everywhere have fallen victim to the phenomenon. It's part of the miracle of life.
