News said pregnancy does not effect the brain?

Question

Like what do they think we just act it, we just find being pregnant gives us a reason to forget or be blank minded... I wonder who studied that.

Answer

Probably a bunch of men who don't want us to be able to use that as an excuse. I'm 29 weeks and I can say it certainly does exist lol

Answer

Ha! What a crock of crap! I don't remember simple things anymore! Dr. Phil eve. Talked about it on a show. It's a real thing!

Answer

I know it's affected my way of thinking I don't know whether it's hormones or the fact that I've got so much more on my mind now that I just forget everything else....

Answer

In my opinion the study was flawed because they weren't actually testing the usual symptoms of pregnancy brain. They were testing for diminished ability to learn/problem solve rather than whether we remembered to lock the car or where we left our phone/keys...

It is a valid study.

Answer

I will say that I have made many stupid errors and have been very forgetful! Not sure if it is the hormones or if it is the fatigue! I have had a hard time focusing and getting tasks done!

Answer

Omg I don't think that is true...I forget things constantly!
