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 šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­

My biggest : I have looked everywhere for my baby, panicking… he was in my harms šŸ˜‚
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 ā¤ļø

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

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 ā€œwhere is my phoneā€ and he looked at me in disgust

Young mum

Hi guys,

I’m just wondering if there’s any other young parents that are getting further into their pregnancy and like, genuinely just clocking that I’m gonna be responsible for a baby and I don’t know everything their is to know about baby’s I feel like I’m gonna be so useless and accidently be the worst mum in the world 🫣

Does anyone else feel like this? Or felt like this? I’m 19 and genuinely have so much anxiety about this now I’m 20 weeks lol

So annoyed, dog jumped on me :( now I’m anxious

I have a big dog and she NEVER jumps.. today I came home and my mum was with me visiting and my dog must have just got over whelmed and she jumped and ended up scratching my lower back,

with that I’ve bent backwards almost and stretched my lower belly and it didn’t hurt as such just felt like tha shock ligament pain but ofc I haven’t actually bent that far since being pregnant and now I just feel anxious really and just need some reassurance. It only happened about 15 mins ago and I have felt baby a little since

But why is there always something to worry about!😭

Anemia

So my results from the glucose test were good (that’s positive) but It looks like I have anemia. Someone in the same situation? Waiting to see what my doctor says, but any tips would be appreciated.
