Pregnancy changes a woman, and not only physiologically, but also emotionally, makes her think and feel differently. Those moms who have enough time to relax and watch themselves will especially notice this phenomenon.
The first thing that a woman who is preparing to become a mother (and with her friends, relatives and friends) can notice is the significant distraction that haunts her all day. Such behavior can be clearly manifested both in the early stages and throughout pregnancy, which is more characteristic of those who have this baby first. There is even the term “pregnancy brain,” jokingly noting how pregnancy affects thoughts.
Therefore, do not be surprised if, expecting a child, you constantly forget where you put the keys, the TV remote control, a toothbrush or other things. You can listen to the phrase in a conversation with a friend, forget to make the necessary purchases or get off at the desired metro station - and this is completely normal! The thoughts of a pregnant woman now and then turn to the most important and valuable at the moment - to expect a miracle of birth, so everything else is relegated to the background.
However, at the same time, studies conducted in Bristol (United Kingdom) showed that when expecting a child, a woman's natural abilities for empathy (understanding, empathy) and intuition are enhanced. A woman “in position” is easier to “read” faces, recognize emotions, guess the danger. Most likely, these abilities are exacerbated in order to have maximum opportunities to save the life of their future child.
But if you are still very worried about possible memory impairment during pregnancy, here are some tips to help you:
- get enough sleep, do not stay too long at the computer or at the TV, even if you do not need to get up early in the morning;
- Maintain cleanliness, coolness and peace in the room;
- balanced and rich in vitamins food will improve your memory;
- Use mnemonic techniques to memorize important things (build associations, invent rhymes, anagrams).
