What's the most unhinged thing you've done postpartum and sleep deprived?

I'm 12 weeks PP and I can think of 3 stand out moments which have left me questioning my sanity. 1. Ordered a coffee and croissant at Costa drive thru, got my croissant and drove off without my coffee. 2. Reverse bay parked today and hit the car behind me because I'd misjudged the distance. Luckily no damage to the cars! 3. Drove home 15 minutes with my car keys on the top of the car (partners keys were inside the car). Luckily they were still there when we got home! I'm sure there are more but I've forgotten 😂😭

My biggest : I have looked everywhere for my baby, panicking… he was in my harms 😂 Then hum I went late for a swimming class for my baby, although I knew and I set up an alarm for the right time but last moment I was convinced it was 30min later…. And pfff a lot of forgotten things like that :) Our brains can’t be everywhere and that’s okey ❤️

I got in the shower with all my clothes on 😅

I put my baby’s soiled nappy in the washing machine 😭

@Mary lol I have done this on more than one occasion 🫠🫠🫠

I went to Whole Foods with my shirt unbuttoned- this was straight after breastfeeding my baby and I simply forgot lol

I pressed start on the nespresso machine without a cup underneath. Two days in a row!

I went to work with my top inside out the whole day, no one told me and I only noticed when I got home 🤦🏽‍♀️

I love this thread. I will be back when I figure which unhinged thing I did while postpartum it feels like such a blur

I burnt a take away burger as i actually forgot it was there for a long time. Saw the kitchen seamed off and had ro air out the house. I also started to cry as i really wanted to eat it. I cried because i was ready to go when it was raining at like a week pp so i got in my pjs only for the sun to come out and made me cry again as i still wanted to go out but didn't want to get dressed again

@Mary oh noooo 😭

@Katie I keep doing this too, and forgetting to put the pod in 😅

My glasses fell off my head down the toilet and instead of fishing them out I flushed the toilet! … I’m still pregnant so god help me PP.

I also put my husbands wallet in the washing machine, everything was destroyed but luckily two of his cards were still working 😭. Yesterday I was on call to my sister and during the call I asked my husband “where is my phone” and he looked at me in disgust

left half my pram on the side of the road! luckily had just left a baby walking group and another mum spotted it and put a message in the chat!

I answered the door for a mailman with my whole boob out. I didn't realize it until I went back inside but I was thinking, danm this guy is really giving me intense eye contact 🤣

I put the ice cube try in the fridge 3 days in a row…

I put my glasses in freezer mistakenly and was searching for 3 days before my husband actually found them. I was pumping and freezing milk so yea it was a crazy time postpartum is a trip
