honestly i forget everything these days, kept my phone in fridge once lol. 2nd trimester going on. does this fog go away after delivery or it stays? curious to know how long others felt it.
Honestly right now with a newborn my brain is more like mush than ever, the pregnancy version was just the trailer. The lack of sleep keeps it going for a while after birth too. It gets better once they start sleeping, or so people keep promising me.
Pregnancy brain is real, I once put my phone in the fridge and looked for it for an hour haha. It usually sticks around through pregnancy and a bit into the newborn days because of the no sleep. Totally normal, just keep a notes app handy and laugh it off.
It lasts through pregnancy for most and often a few months postpartum, mainly because of hormones and broken sleep. I was forgetting names and appointments both times. Making lists really saved me, and it does come back to normal eventually.
