[blparent] Lack of mental functioning for mothers

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Well, actually, while pregnant, it's quite common for women to
experience spaciness and difficulty remembering things or processing a
lot at one time. It has something to do with hormones and the brain.
Now, if the baby/child is no longer in the tummy, there's no medical
reason for lack of brain functioning in terms of biology. It could be
lack of sleep, key nutrition properties may be lacking or missing in the
body, perhaps exercise is necessary, or maybe you're exercising too
much, low blood sugars can cause this (even non-diabetics can experience
low glucose levels) stress can cause this; there are a ton of reasons
why someone could experience memory and mental concerns. But if
pregnant, it's not only a biological response to being pregnant, but is
quite common.

Sincerely,

Do you want a resolution?
I ask because it could be many things, have you had a checkup recently?
You may want to have your thyroid levels looked at. Feeling like this
shouldn't be normal procedure, nor should it be attributed to being a
mom. Anybody ever notice that we don't hear dads regarding this stuff as
normal? Something to think about.
