Yaar im forgetting everything these days, kept my phone in fridge once lol. Im in 2nd trimester and my memory is just gone. Is it hormones or what? curious if others feel this too.
I also had major brain fog, but walking in the park really helped clear my head. Of course, I only started my daily light walks after my gynac gave me the green light. A little fresh air and movement can do wonders for focus!
Oh my god, same here! I literally forgot where I kept my house keys yesterday and felt so silly. Is this really because of the hormones or am I just losing it? Pls tell me I'm not the only one going through this right now.
Honestly, I used to cry because I couldn't remember simple words during conversations. Looking back, our bodies are doing so much heavy lifting to grow a human. It's just a phase and u will get your sharp memory back soon, trust me.
My mother-in-law says it's because the body is putting all energy into the baby, which is actually true in a way. My doctor explained that hormonal changes and lack of proper sleep cause this forgetfulness. It is very common, so just take deep breaths and don't worry.
I totally get how frustrating and scary this can feel, but your feelings are 100% valid. Your brain is literally rewiring itself to prepare for the baby, plus the constant anxiety doesn't help. Give yourself some grace, u are doing great.
Let me tell u, it doesn't end with pregnancy, postpartum brain is also very real! It’s mostly sleep deprivation and your mind being constantly occupied with baby care. Just make lists on your phone, it really saves the day.
