Serious question !! is pregnancy brain something that's actually real or is it something that woman made up as an excuse…

Definitely think it's real lol so is pp brain I read that when you're pregnant your brains shrinks a significant amount and takes 6 months to get back to its regular size so yeah

I read a scientific study that said that the increase in certain hormones during pregnancy actually temporarily kills some brain cells. So yes, it's very real, lol

I'm convinced it's very real. I could have something in my hand, put it down and a minute later not remember. I thought my kids lost my phone, nope in the fridge.

Mine was real. I froze a dozen eggs 😂😂😂

Very real like I can be in the middle of doing something but as soon as something else catches my eye oh god... My SO hates it

girl it is real!!!! my memory is so bad when I'm pregnant.

Lol, I wondered the same thing. Until I start to experience it myself! So it's definitely real. Sometimes I feel like my brain is on vacation.

It's so real. I have to write everything down

It's real

I definitely experience it at times.

Lmao! I find myself almost throwing away dirty clothes in my trash can, DAILY 😂

Very real lol it got bad with me lol I think the worst was when I came to a complete stop at a green light..

from my other pregnancy app. called what to expect

WHAT CAUSES PREGNANCY BRAIN?

As usual in pregnancy, it's just yourpregnancy hormones having some fun — this time at the expense of your memory. A lack of quality shut-eye due to a number of sleep-busting conditions during pregnancy (especially common in your first and third trimesters) can also play a role, as can the fact that you're constantly zapped of energy (which your brain needs to stay focused). What’s more, all of those big and exciting changes going on in your life could have an impact on your ability to focus too. Research has also shown that your brain really does function differently during pregnancy, increasing activity in the side associated with emotional skills (in theory to ensure you’re neurologically attuned to your baby’s facial emotions at birth, so you bond more easily). Lastly, believe it or not your brain-cell volume actually decreases during the third trimester of pregnancy (which could explain why you can't remember what you just read about in that last paragraph). Not to worry, though — your brain will plump back up a few months after deliver
