I'm preggers and I've lost my mind

A new study out of Australia shows that women's memory functions are impaired during pregnancy and for at least a year afterwards. Pregnant women don't forget things they know well, but they have difficulty remembering or learning new information. The study didn't uncover causes, it just confirmed differences between brain function of pregnant and not-pregnant women. It also didn't show if the difference was long-term, as the study only looked at women for a year after giving birth, so the difference could last even longer than a year. Theories for the differences are hormonal changes and sleep deprivation.

Great, I can't wait. (Oh, and I'm not actually pregnant! That was just a title!)

  • I felt like a real air head when I was pregnant. I was also forgetful sometimes. I'm glad that's over! I thought my baby was draining my brain cells!

  • In Chinese Medicine "blood nourishes the brain" and can affect the memory. Obviously he blood is directed elsewhere in this case. Consider Oriental Medicine if you are having these issues. They are trained to handle such things quite easily.
    Otherwise, think about supplementing your diet with some whole food organic nutrition (to build your blood) and eliminating things that can interfere with the absorption like artificial sweeteners. Other things to consider...check out this blog for more detail
