Yes she did, why would she refer to it as pregnant behaviour.

Lavender, there's lots of good information and advice out there if you are concerned (Alzheimers Society etc.). The BBC Horizon series did a very good documentary on Alzheimers which is available on YouTube and the Mayo Clinic has interesting information on research (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alzheimers-disease/in-depth/alzheimers-treatments/art-20047780).


It is more likely that you were feeing tired after a busy day. We all forget why we have gone into the kitchen/upstairs etc. I'm always doing it.

There are numbers of causative factors which might lead to apparent confusion and lapses of memory other than dementia (Alzheimer's and vascular dementia are the most common, but not the only 'senile dementia diseases'). These include some forms of depression, responses to acute or chronic pain, as well as, and probably most commonly 'having a lot on your mind' - i.e. simple distraction and, as above, forms of tiredness and exhaustion. Dementia is not contagious (some forms may be genetic however) - but I have noted that aberrant behaviours can be copied, possibly unconsciously. If these behaviours become annoyingly habitual it is worthwhile seeking professional help, but the very fact that they are being noticed by you at all is probably a good sign. 'Forgetting things' (names, why you walked upstairs) may be annoying but it is very often a sign-post to nothing important at all.

    • Fabulous - need some citric acid for the toilets - will pop in there.
    • Another review about a plasterer & handy man called Omar. Very professional, clean and up to standards. He’s done a couple of works in my flat, plastering, tiling & rendering. As you can see not easy task for someone of us, but he managed to do all of it and all turned out amazing. Highly recommended    His number is 07535 651443
    • When mine was stolen I tracked it to Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury's car park, where it sat for several hours, and then over to a phone shop on Rye Lane in Peckham. Police thought they likely stash them somewhere in the car park until they have a few to drop off. It's literal schoolkids, so even worse in the holidays.
    • Saw the aftermath of another phone theft on east dulwich grove by trio last night. Then half an hour later spotted them biking back to 'work'. Crazy the police can't do anything about this - they are clearly cruising the same streets.
