Well I've never been pregnant and once again I stress that I'm no expert with symptoms, but let me tell you it sounds a lot like what's happened to me. The cause? Nothing 
I tell people that I'm already getting old (at 19, lol). Apparently it happened to my mother, too. She used to be a really sharp person, like I once was, but by the time she hit 30 she was practically senile (not medically, of course).
So yeah I think you're just changing a bit. And until it gets so bad that you can't remember how to get home, you don't have anything to worry about.

I know what you are going through completely! I had the same problems with my first pregnancy, and this second one seems to be even a bit worse! I literally forget all the tiniest things, like where I last put my debit card, where my wallet is etc. I did the laundry thing too! But I actually do that several times a week, not just a one time thing for me at all LOL. I found my memory started to come back after I had had my son, but I got pregnant again when he was around 6 months old, so I never got to fully enjoy that "recovery" point LOL. I think with having another little one to do things with makes the forgetfulness ever more exaggerated as you have so many extra chores to tend to during the day. I caught myself trying to shove a jug of milk into the cupboard a week ago!! Man that was embarrassing! Anyways, don't feel alone, several of my friends are pregnant now too and we call it "baby brain". Good luck
