I have this saying , when you become a mum you also become forgetful too busy to remeber things.My daughter was waiting for her birthday present from her aunty  to arrive in the mail ,she was always on time and never forgot but when it didn't arrive I turned around  said to my daughter she is a mum now and mums forget.

I also had trouble remembering little things - my youngest of three is now two and whilst I haven't lost my keys or wallet for quite some time. I have hesitated going back to work part time but feel like my brain doesn't function like it use to. Does this sound silly?  Surely not all women become vague after pregnancy??/ 

ahh the joys of nappy brain! sometimes a drop of blood sugar levels gives you cloudy head and poor concentration make sure you are eating well, also candida can cause this, try taking some acidophillus and cutting sugar out of your diet for a bit. if it keeps getting worse and you are feeling down as well might be a good thing to check with doc! good luck, nappy brain can be a thorough pain!

what was the question again?... who are you?... i recognise the green around this page but seriously where am i?... hehehe BABY BRAIN!!!... oh that reminds me i had a baby, i know i put her somewhere... crying from over there oh thats the baby.... the cure for baby brain is... oh i forgot that too... what was the question? :)'s for you... you will feel better when they move out... hehehe

Of course u r losing your mind...what sane woman with 3 kids under the age of 5 wouldn't be! lol. Rest assured, eventually it will get better and the memory loss will be due to something else like dementia. Milk it for what its worth, now you can get away with not listening to your husband when he raves on about the footy or something else equally boring!!!  No seriously, I'd say u r just physically and certainly mentally drained so put the feet up and send hubby out for the day (or 5) with the kids. sounds like u deserve it!

Hi
I was told something during my pregnancy

V is for vague...get used to it....
Luv Deb

I totally agree with what everyone's said. Best wishes and good luck. Hope things get better for you very soon. Big Hugs for you........

Ive been doing that for 10 years...hehe.Not to make light of your situation of course but u have a new bub and other children that occupy your day with all sorts of wants and needs, on top of housework ,paying bills,shopping and other daily stuff its no wonder us mums cant always be on the ball.

Although i recently discoverd that by changing my contraceptive from one to another my memory,attitudes and frame of mind has changed 100%. It might be a simple thing or it could be something else i would go to a doctor for sure if it worries u and of course if you have noticed an increase in anything like your health or memory that is your safest option.Take care .

How are you going overall?  If you are coping otherwise and happy  then I'd say it is just baby brain and lack of sleep.  If however you are feeling like you are not coping, are getting upset easily and not looking forward to things, then go and see your doctor. Feeling absentminded, unable to concentrate and unable to make decisions can be symptoms of PND so need looking into.  Take care of yourself.  Hope this helps!

Thats me as well. Sometimes it can get on peoples nerves but i dont do those things on purpose. I even left my baby at my mums and forgot who i dropped her off too on that day. I thought i was lossing my mind but as i found out all mummys do it at one stage or another.

No you aren't losing your mind.  I do it all the time.  You have a 7 week old baby.  I know you said you weren't this bad with the previous kids but you didn't have 2 older kids with a newborn.  Give yourself time to recover.  You will be fine.  If you are very concerned, see your doctor, it can't hurt.

LOL!

it looks like you need that well deserved REST
also try using a daily multi vitamin & fish oil capsules may help keep up your brains strength (i have just decided to start on them myself).
i was quite bad myself and i got only the one child :)
i remember doing the exact same things like walking into rooms and not remembering why i walked in there, i still do it now sometimes!
i also used to get my sentences mixed up, make mistakes correcting the words and then start balling my eyes out because i couldn't say what i wanted to say LOL!!

hope things get better for you soon, i still think that a good rest (no kids, no housework, no nothing for a good day) could be the best medicine.

It sounds like your brain has gone to mashed potato.  But what do you expect?  You have a 7 week old.  And, if you're breastfeeding the 7 week year old then it's almost mandatory that your brain go to mush. You don' t need to go to the Doctor.  You need to look after yourself and methinks your husband can probably chip in a little and make his own sandwiches??????

hi,

Good day to you!....I suggest you take a break..probably your are thinking too much you need a break. Or try to talk to other people other than your family and friends or better yet consult a pastor for spiritual welness . and most of all pray for HIM to guide you always. You are not loosing your mind believe me you are just preoccupied with so many things.

my

apparantly we are only capable of storing about 7 things in our short term memory, anything more than that we will forget, also if we get dehidrated or stressed our brains shrink temorarily which causes memory loss ect, and of cause mums are usually always buisy and stressed ect so hence this is what happens we forget alot, it is very normal, it is called haveing baby brain
