On Your Mind
Like any mom-to-be, you've got a lot on your mind. That alone may have you forgetting what used to be second nature and misplacing things. Pregnancy hormones, sleep deprivation, and stress have all been suggested as possible culprits.
Whatever the cause, forgetting appointments and misplacing things can leave you feeling muddled and helpless. To cope with forgetfulness, try the following.
Writing notes
Sticking to a routine (e.g., car keys always go into a basket by the door)
Living by a written or electronic organizer
Requesting a twenty-four-hour advance phone call reminder when you schedule appointments such as in-home appliance repair or a hair cut
