When I showed up for my OB/GYN appointment today and the friendly receptionist who usually recognizes me stared in confusion, I figured it was because she wasn’t used to seeing me with clean, straightened hair. Turns out she was confused because my doctor wasn’t in the office. My appointment, she told me, was actually scheduled for tomorrow.
What?? I had even double-checked my planner last night and this morning to confirm my appointment, but I must have only looked at the time, not the date.
I blamed the mishap on “pregnancy brain,” and the receptionist and I shared a laugh. Then we chatted for a minute about nail polish before I left, mildly embarrassed, wondering how many other pregnant women make silly mistakes like I just did.
So ‘fess up: What absentminded things did you while pregnant?
