Your developing baby&#8217;s health is undoubtedly a concern for you. Also, you are excited that you will have a cute, cuddly baby very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you recall recently forgetting your partner&#8217;s birthday, or putting the door keys in an unexpected place and having to look for them around the house? Don\u2019t stress! This is just another thing for mommies-to-be. Pregnancy brain or momesia is a condition that occurs during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn the reasons why you suffer from this condition, and find out how you can mask it. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-makes-you-forget\">What Makes You Forget?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnancy changes a woman \u2013 both physically and mentally. Here are a few contributing factors to \u201cmomnesia\u201d or forgetfulness during pregnancy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"blame-it-on-your-hormones\">Blame It On Your Hormones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a no-brainer that pregnancy hormones cause most of your pregnancy problems. \u00a0Having trouble remembering your favourite novel&#8217;s name at this moment is not your fault. That&#8217;s your hormones at work. Their impact on brain neurons causes memory loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pregnancy-insomnia\">Pregnancy Insomnia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re pregnant, frequent bathroom trips and vomiting can disrupt your sleep. Pregnancy progressing with a big belly is undeniable. You may have difficulty changing sides in bed due to your belly, which can disturb your sleep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/pregnancy-insomnia\/\">Sleep deprivation<\/a> can affect your cognitive functions as well as memory. It&#8217;s possible to lose track of your thoughts during early pregnancy because of uncomfortable nagging symptoms such as cramps, nausea, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/pregnancy-heartburn\/\">heartburn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stress-and-anxiety\">Stress and Anxiety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re both excited and overwhelmed as you shift your priorities with the baby approaching slowly. You&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/preparing-your-babys-nursery-and-wardrobe\/\">setting up the nursery<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/8-ways-baby-proof-home\/\">baby-proofing the house<\/a>, nervous about childbirth, and can&#8217;t miss your prenatal appointments. Your brain is clogged up with everything. It&#8217;s no surprise that you have trouble focusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"changing-brain-structure\">Changing Brain Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your brain is undergoing a lot of activity at the cellular level. Physiological changes occur in the structure of your brain, as shown in scans and a 2016 study. In pregnant women, the grey matter of the brain declines significantly, resulting in impaired social cognition. Possibly, this is your brain&#8217;s way of creating space for maternal attachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You needn&#8217;t worry, though! The fog of memory loss usually clears up around six months after birth. So, hold on to your horse until you hold your baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-will-you-cover-up-your-forgetfulness\">How Will You Cover Up Your Forgetfulness?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no need to worry about losing your head during pregnancy. Small changes in your life can cover up for your forgetfulness while pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Maintain a calendar, diary, or planner. Make a note of everything as a reminder. Whenever you forget something, check that page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is best to keep all your important things together, such as keys and jewellery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set alarms for meetings or doctor\u2019s appointments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a picture of your car after you leave it parked so you can track it down later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a chance you will forget someone you met recently. For memories of that individual, consider remembering them through a close association.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work out every day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask for help<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat well<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try to get some sleep. Maybe a cat nap or two<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A little forgetfulness is normal. However, if you\u2019re suffering from too much of a problem, consult your healthcare practitioner immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents What Makes You Forget?\u00a0 Blame It On Your Hormones Pregnancy Insomnia Stress and Anxiety Changing Brain Structure How Will You Cover Up Your Forgetfulness?
