Omg yes I feel this sooo bad
Please let me know because it is very frustrating especially with me being in school
Yess I'm so forgetful, my husband asks me who ate the pickle, where was this, what happened 2 days ago and I'm like I don't know don't ask me anything that happened before 10 hours ago. I'm talking and I forget what I was talking about. You can look it up, it's said after u give birth the part of brain that used to remember things shrinks, so it can make space for the nurturing and emotions part of brain so we can care better for our kids. But it's so frustrating 😫
I felt this!! So glad I am not the only one. I was getting so mad at myself because I couldn’t remember anything! And If I am explaining something, then get interrupted, I completely blank on what I was saying.
Dezy, girl, I could NOT be in school right now. 😭 I don’t know how you do it!!
@Dezy
It was worse during pregnamcy, but i definitely have not regained my full brain capacity or memory
@Kristin cry with me lmao cause idk how I do it either and I got glasses thinking it’s just me needing glasses cause my eyesight has worsened also so I thought maybe if I could see better I could remember better too but it kinda unfogs your brain slightly but not even close to fully
yuppp you are NOT alone! it’s awful!
same 😭.. I feel dumb at times
I utilise timers and alarms for absolutely everything. Even when I need to leave for somewhere, I have a timer. But I do get daily adult interaction talking to my sisters and my friends and mums at baby groups so that’s not a problem, the problem is remembering things or leaving on time not to be late and to account for traffic and parking etc
Oh nice, I thought I was going mad. So it's normal then 🤷🏾♀️
I defo felt this too
I feel this way 🙋🏾♀️

totally get you! my brain felt like mush for a while too, like where did all my thoughts go? it's probably just the sleep deprivation and all the baby stuff taking over, but chatting with other moms might help a bit! Just looked it up on the 'Heal App' and here’s what it says: "It's completely normal to feel a sense of brain fog after having a baby, especially with the demands of caring for an infant. Many parents experience changes in memory and focus due to sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, and the overwhelming nature of new responsibilities. To help improve your cognitive function, try to prioritize sleep whenever possible, even if it means napping when your baby sleeps. Additionally, engaging in social interactions, even virtually, can stimulate your mind and help alleviate feelings of isolation. Have you had a chance to connect with other parents or join a local parenting group?"
YES, that happened.
