Porridge brain is real

There are many who doubt the existance of pregnancy porridge brain, but no matter what the sceptics may say, to me it is a very real phenomenon. In all 3 pregnancies I have displayed many daft moments from early on already. For me porridge brain is putting the cooking oil in the fridge or the open milk in the cupboard. It is putting 6 spoons of sugar in your tea and putting sugar in the food instead of salt. Porridge brain is the perfect excuse for wearing your top inside out and yes sometimes even back to front. I have sent many a text message to the wrong person entirely and almost blocking my email account insisting on using the same wrong password only to realise on my 3rd attempt that I was entering my ATM pin! Just the other day I was sitting in the car in the garage, kids locked and loaded and all ready to go, frantically searching for my car keys, only to find them sitting on top of the car. And then of course there was the day I opened the garage door, started the car and then closed the garage door BEFORE pulling out! Just as I put the car in gear I realised my error and disaster was avoided. There many other little mishaps and I am not usually the absent-minded type, forgettful yes, but usually quite a good multi-tasker. So call it an excuse if you will, but it's one that works for me.
