Does baby brain ever go away?

[RibenaMonsoon]

DS is 18 months. I've had baby brain since I was about 7 weeks pregnant and it's never really gone away.

I'm quite a scatty person anyway but at the moment I'm just so forgetful and dithery it's quite frankly embarrassing.

Especially at work. I swear people think I'm a complete divvy who can't do anything without making stupid little mistakes.

Has anyone else had this? How can I get myself back? It's really starting to affect my life and especially my work in a very negative way.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mine went when my son was 3 and I got a job in a primary school, so I was constantly doing little maths problems and learning new things. I started to feel normal again. But I'm pregnant again now, so back to idiocy.

My son is 9 months and I still have it! I went back to work last month and I had forgotten how to hold a pen for the first day! I am hoping it goes away!

Mine still hasn't gone away. DS is 4 and DD is 14 months.

It just turns into perimenopausal brain...

Mine went when DD was around 3 but I was pregnant again when she was 3.5 and it was back to square one. After ds baby brain took a little longer to go but I put that down to been a sahm.

I poured my freshly made coffee down the sink today, later on I put my purse in the fridge. Baby is 8 months old, this surely has to end soon! Haha

DS1 is 5, DS2 is 22 months.

My once excellent brain is completely up the spout. My memory is like an event horizon. I forgot the name of Aardman Animations the other day and had no 'bingo' moment when I googled it.

I'm just going to enjoy my senility

I'm so glad it's not just me but I'm sorry you lovely ladies are going through the same.

Here's to it all buggering off very soon. I'm going to go back on my pregnancy vitamins. See if it helps. Perhaps I can convince myself they are magic. Try to trick my brain into action.

Ok so I've just now put some bacon on the grill pan, then buggered off to do something else and forgot to put it under the grill. What the bloody buggery hell is going on.

I'm hungry...

I was really bad. Had a Saturday job in a department store. A customer asked me where the toilet was, stood there for the life of me didn't know where the nearest toilet was and then sent them down stairs 2 floors. Toilets were right behind me, I had worked there 2 years! I was worried about early onset dementia at that point. I was really low in vitamin b12, started taking supplements and that helped.

I remember reading about this. I have not experienced it yet myself but most women say it goes away in the first 18 or so months.

My “kids” are now 20,17 and 12. had a couple years finally free of baby brain but then I got peri menopausal. Mother Nature has a sick sense of humour
