Hard time thinking of words, or use the wrong word! really annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231962 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:10:46 +0000 prettylizy 231962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, baby brain is a real thing, and I wasa victim. My poor boss, there were 3 of us due within a month of each other in my 10 person office.... Needless to say things occasionally got all messed up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231960 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:10:13 +0000 hellobeeboston 231960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: YES. I have sticky notes with lists all over my desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231958 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:09:52 +0000 hellobeeboston 231958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: oh you did? I missed it -- or maybe I saw it &amp; completely forgot - ha!!!</p> <p>that could be that memory loss I mentioned ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231956 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:09:35 +0000 MamaMoose 231956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I need to do something at work I better write it down right away. Otherwise it will be completely forgotten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231951 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:08:31 +0000 Weagle 231951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy brain is definitely a real thing. And I'm finding out that mommy brain is too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231949 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:07:31 +0000 DillonLion 231949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wrote a post about this same topic last week! Definitely feeling less bright and sharp than usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231942 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:03:48 +0000 dookie32 231942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bit of that but the worst was the clumsiness. I swear I couldn't go a day without dropping something, spilling something or knocking something over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231925 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:58:34 +0000 hellobeeboston 231925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah @mrsbells: I feel like it's gotten worse lately, it's been gradual, but I'm just starting my third tri this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231922 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:58:12 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 231922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had intense pregnancy brain. so ya technically you are slower because you keep forgetting what you were doing or thinking about doing. ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231916 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:56:59 +0000 Mrsbells 231916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my 3rd trimester i was definitely more forgetful and absentminded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231915 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:55:56 +0000 lilteacherbee 231915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 9 weeks and I definitely have "pregnancy brain." Last weekend as I was leaving the house to visit my parents for the night, I kept forgetting everything. I got out of my car and went back inside 3 different times for things (thankfully, I never made it out of the driveway before I remembered). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231904 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:53:07 +0000 mrsjyw 231904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, def have pregnancy brain. I forget random things, I am clutsy, and etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-just-me-or-is-anyone-else-a-little-slow-while-pregnant#post-231901 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:51:32 +0000 hellobeeboston 231901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And by 'slow' - I mean, just mentally not quite with it... Although I am also slower in terms of getting around!</p> <p>I read somewhere a while back that a woman's brain can shrink from 3-5% while they are pregnant.</p> <p>You also always hear about "pregnancy brain" and such, and I have finally reached a point where I really think this is true!</p> <p>What the heck? At work I just feel like I am 1-2 beats slower than normal. Simple things that I KNOW are sometimes totally unfamiliar, and it can take me longer to answer easy questions.</p> <p>Concentrating is also proving more &amp; more difficult. And I feel like I have occasional (as I call it) pregnancy-related memory lapses.</p> <p>It's so bizarre! It's not just me right? </p>
