Baby brain for three years, what "stupid" things have you done after pregnancy?

Hello, all of us always say, "One baby brain for three years." Are many mothers worried about being "stupid" after pregnancy?

Some mothers will play with their mobile phones by themselves, and when they go to wash their hands, they forget that they still have them. As soon as they put their hands under the tap, their mobile phones will suffer … they will feel like a fish.

Some mothers beat eggs in the kitchen, only to find that the eggs were in the trash can, and the bowls were full of eggshells.

Some mothers will take their babies for a walk in the park with different slippers on their feet, without realizing it.

Even some mothers went to the toilet with a urine cup during the urine test in the hospital and forgot what to do. They only remembered going to the toilet, and the cup was still empty when they came out.

Scientific experiments have proved that after the expectant mother is pregnant, the volume of gray matter in the brain does decrease to some extent, but this decrease has no effect on the memory and cognitive understanding of the expectant mother.

So, pregnancy doesn't make people "stupid", so what makes mom change after pregnancy?

1. Hormonal influence of mother after pregnancy

During pregnancy, progesterone and estrogen in female brain will be 15-4 times higher than usual. Although estrogen during lactation will show a significant downward trend, oxytocin is coming in an avalanche. This will naturally have some impact on cognitive and memory abilities. At this time, mom's ability to remember things will obviously decline, and "forgetting things" and "wearing the wrong slippers" will often happen.

Some studies believe that when the expectant mother lacks DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) for a long time, it will have adverse effects on information transmission and thinking ability. Therefore, mother's attention will often be "offline", and even she often doesn't know what she is doing.

2. Mother's sleep quality declines

At the same time, women's sleep quality decline and distraction will also lead to relative dullness in dealing with other things. It is not easy for a mother to fall asleep by herself when she is busy all night for her baby, changing diapers and putting her child to bed, which will affect many trivial things in her life during the day. "Being stupid" is a matter of course.

3. Mothers will pay more attention to things related to babies after pregnancy

From the moment a woman gives birth to a baby, she will put most of her time, energy and attention on her little life.

They may forget all kinds of anniversaries or even their birthdays, but they can tell exactly when the baby burped last time. It may take them a week to learn to use the new mobile phone, but it only takes them an hour to learn how to make nutritious and delicious complementary food for their baby. They may no longer be the powerful women in the workplace, but they can stand in front of their children at any time to shelter from the wind and rain; They may have been scared when they saw bugs, but they took the trouble to check their children's feces every day.

The reason why they always forget something is that all their energy is focused on the baby. The reason why they can't always do one thing well is because what they want to do best is to raise a child. They may forget the world, but they will never forget that she is a mother.

So, every mother of baby brain is not really "stupid", they just concentrate on their favorite baby and give everything to their favorite baby. For us, they are all the greatest women.
