Today, I'm 8 weeks pregnant and suffering from severe pregnancy brain. I was making my husband's lunch to take to work. I realised shortly after he left that I'd used dish soap instead of BBQ sauce for his sandwich. He has to turn his phone off for work, so I have no way to warn him. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm pregnant and feeling awful due to all-day-long morning sickness. My doctor suggested that I cancel all my social plans to be able to keep working. My doctor is also my husband, and the father of this child. FML
Today, I sent my boyfriend to the store to get groceries while I was at work. Instead of what I listed, he came back with hot pockets, ice cream and beer. I'm lactose intolerant and pregnant. FML
Today, suffering from severe morning sickness followed by cravings for salty food, I had stacked our fridge with yummy snacks. When finally emerging from our bathroom after retching this morning, I found out my husband had eaten all my snacks the night before. FML
Today, I was feeling really sick at work. I messaged my boss whether his girlfriend, who also works there, could cover me. He then came down, shouting at me that whatever illness I have, I've also passed on to his girlfriend. I'm pregnant. FML
Today, my husband and I are sick. He keeps whining about how bad he feels. I'm just as sick, as well as 7 months pregnant. I've not only been taking care of his whiny ass: I've cooked, cleaned, and gone to the store several times because the tissues we had were too rough on his nose. FML
Today, I got to experience the horror of my wife's pregnancy. She woke me up abruptly at 5 am by throwing up all over me due to her terrible morning sickness, then ate pickles covered in mayonnaise, and later dropped to the floor sobbing when I told her we were out of dog food. FML
Today, I took a well-aimed TV remote to the testicles. My wife’s pregnancy cravings are really bad and I forgot to restock the cupboard with apricot jam and packets of sage and onion stuffing. FML
Today, my partner, our 5-month-old baby and I had to go to A&E because my idiot boyfriend mistook dishwasher Rinse Aid for cooking oil, and cooked a meal for us in it. As I'm breastfeeding, even our baby needed blood tests. FML
Today, I told my husband I was pregnant, then he fainted. FML
Today, I am 3 months pregnant. While lying on the couch with morning sickness, my boyfriend farted loudly and filled the room with a smell so horrifying that I immediately threw up all over my coffee table. He spent the next 20 minutes texting his friends about this "epic" moment. FML

And here he thought you were only joking when you said you'd wash his mouth out with soap the next time he said something you didn't like!

Yes pregnancy brain can make u do weird things. I forgot to do everyday things and cried over everything when I was pregnant. I feel your pain op

Can't you call the main number at his workplace and leave a message for him to call you? You wouldn't want him to go blind from ... soap poisoning.

Just 32 more weeks to go OP! And your brain will probably get better as you adjust to the hormones- in the mean time, just allot yourself extra time to go over stuff once you do it and make sure to keep well hydrated and well fed. As for the BBQ-Soap mix up- I'm guessing that the BBQ sauce was out on the counter to make the lunch, and OP's work area is by the sink. Put BBQ down by soap, get distracted, grab bottle, use, put down.

Pregnancy brain at 8 weeks? Doubt it.

It's entirely possible if OP is sensitive to hormone changes.

My worst was between 4 and 10 weeks. Couldn't remember a damn thing, cried for no reason. After the first trimester it got way better

I had it. Everyone is different with pregnancy.

Call his workplace and ask to speak to him..?

Well at least you didn't make a cup of coffee and add a teabag as well to it. I'm so used to preparing both tea and coffee for my mom that I just did the motions without thinking.

If with only 8 weeks you are blaming it on Pregnancy Brain, I am sorry for your husband. It will be a long pregnancy

Better pick up some takeout- and do a switch out.... Or you'll never here the end of a bubble blowing tantrum.

How the....how is this even possible? I think you have way more going on than severe pregnancy brain. It takes some real effort to head over to the sink, grab the dish soap, and pour it onto a sandwich I mean those aren't even related activities.
