In school, pregnant and forgetful

This is my second child and I was not in school with him so I did not notice the pregnancy brain. Now, I am in my third year of veterinary school and I cannot remember a thing! i have doubled my study time and my grades have dropped and i have no more energy to exert. Pregnancy is having very bad affects on my brain.

I just bought some coconut oil cuz I read some studies it can help with memory. The only problem is I keep forgetting to take it so I haven't noticed a difference.

Is anyone else struggling and what are you doing to over come it?

Re: In school, pregnant and forgetful

  • Yes, I totally know how you're feeling! I'm finishing a Master's right now, and it's so hard to stay focused. I find there are only certain times of the day when I can focus--like first thing in the morning and after 8pm, when my little guy is in bed. I'm trying to limit caffeine, but I like to have a tea while I work... I find it perks me up. Sometimes, when I'm really stuck, I go to a cafe to work. I think the change of scenery just flips a switch in my brain and I'm less distracted.

    I don't know if I helped at all, but I can at least commiserate!
