"Prego" brain??

mommabarker09 · February 2009

When I first started reading pregnancy books and hearing about pregnancy making you forgetful etc. I though it sounded crazy... but I have it so bad!! I seriously feel like a moron a couple times a week, and I'm no dummy!! I got a 29 on the ACT's and now I'm wondering if I would even score an 18 some days!! DH notices too which doesn't help my self esteem... anyone else notice this??

Yes!! I couldnt remember my social sec. number yesterday..I could say my DH's, but not mine. It was embarassing! I also have a hard time remembering names!

Dr. Oz (yes, he knows everything, I'm convinced of it) said that when pregnant, the baby zaps the omega-3s out of your brain and uses them for its own growth and devlopment. Because O3s are responsible for keeping the synapses healthy and are partially responsible for memory, he claims that "pregnancy brain" is a real thing.

I wouldn't know - I've been militant about taking my supplements and haven't really had any "moments" (knock on wood). Wink

Ooh, good luck with that. I work in financial aid and know what a nightmare a mis-matched SSN/name can create. I hope your college's office is nice to you about it!

I have wanted spaghetti all week! So I guess you could say I have spaghetti sauce brain.

Seriously, I have had the forgetfulness that comes with pregnancy.

I got a good score on the ACTs too... but I never thought that would come up here! LOL

I was talking to my dad about this the other day. He said, "well, now you know how 3/4 of the population feels all the time". Yeah, only problem with that is I'm acutely aware that I'm a moron. Most people have no idea. Lovely.

So far so good! I'm not really expecting to receive any aid anyways since I didn't get anything last year, but I needed to submit it anyways. Ugh I felt like suchhh an idiot though. Oh well. They seemed pretty understanding..
