Do you have trouble remembering where you put your keys? Do you feel as if you can’t think straight at all? Welcome to the world of pregnancy! As if all the other changes aren’t enough. Pregnancy actually affects our brains too! Forgetfulness, spaciness, and an inability to concentrate go with the territory! According to the results of a recent study, a mother-to-be’s brain actually shrinks late in pregnancy! A researcher at the University of Southern California tested nineteen highly educated pregnant women and found they all had a decreased ability to concentrate and retain information in their short term memory as well as learn new information. So, don’t worry, if you are having trouble thinking, it’s normal. And remember, it will all go back to the way it was after you have your baby! So just relax and don’t worry too much about it. There are too many other things to think about right now!
