Awful Memory Loss - 4 months pp

[Dixon1987]

I can't tell if I actually have something wrong with my brain or if this is normal. My memory loss at the moment is INSANE! I had my 3rd baby in Jan and my memory loss was no where near as bad for the first 2.
I just asked my husband something and then asked him again 5 mins later with zero recollection I'd already asked him.
I can't recall half of a story I'm trying to repeat to someone. This happens a lot. I forget things people have told me. It really is so awful right now and I'm feeling genuinely concerned I'm abnormal.
Please tell me your postnatal memory loss experiences as I'm not sure whether I should be worried!

I’d get your ferritin levels checked - low iron can cause scary level memory loss (especially with lack of sleep on top!)

Oh wow really, that's interesting. I had slightly low levels when my daughter was born and had been taking iron tablets but might be worth me getting that checked again then!
