Please tell me I’m not the only one really struggling with this? I’m doing really silly, forgetful things, losing really important things and just in general feel very absentminded and not really knowing what’s going on 😂🫠 any tips, tricks or just general reassurance that I’m not alone 😂

That is completely normal...and fun fact, it stays once the baby is here for about a year! Yay for us 😅😭

Haven’t really got any tips as such but just to say your not the only one! I had my second baby 4 weeks ago and my baby brain has been awful the last few days. My head just feels constantly foggy and confused 😂 I find the one thing that helps me is getting outside and doing small things that I’d class as normal things to do, even if it’s just going to the shop and talking to another adult 😂 think the sleep deprivation has a lot to do with it too though!
Also just to say that it does get better too, with my first I thought I’d constantly feel like it but it does start to lift!

Brilliant 😂 thank you for the reassurance 🫶🏼

I went to make an omelette. Heated the pan, beat the eggs… and then poured them straight into the sink instead of the pan. Why? No explanation. Brain is just OOO 🧠😶🌫️🌫️🙃
It’s not just at home. At work I open a spreadsheet and stare at it and try to figure out the formulas for 30 minutes, like I’ve never seen one before.

Yep. Cut potatoes to bake and put the pan in the oven…came back about 15 min later to check on them just to realize I never stated the oven in first place 😩

Super normal, can last for a few years, basically while pregnant your brain re wired itself so you can care for your baby, makes you more maternal and can hear your baby cry when you are asleep etc.
