Baby brain

Hi. ☺️
I am a bit concerned about my memory loss and lack of concentration. I know the term baby brain is very well known and I know I definitely have it haha
But I seriously lack concentration and wonder if that’s normal ... my boss told me something yesterday and honest to God within seconds I forgot what she said. I am working very hard... Overtime etc.. am I doing too much and maybe I just need to rest more?? Is anyone the same ?

I know I sound paranoid but honestly guys.. I feel so useless 🙈😂

It’s very real. I am someone who is usually super organised & on it with life, particularly at work but I am forgetting everything .. I actually had to apologise to manager for my forgetfulness last week as its terrible! He tells me something & it goes straight out the other ear! Thankfully, I’m good friends with my manager & he’s finding the whole thing very funny! I’ve started writing down everything he asks me to do, that helps a bit!

I’m 25+3 ..

My baby brain improved a fair bit when I got my anaemia treated.

Thanks that really helps. I will have blood tests and that soon anyway so I’ll wait till then. ☺️

I'm only 5 weeks and overwhelmed with the news I can't concentrate on anything else and keep forgetting to do things! I think I'm to early to have baby brain though just have a head in the clouds at the minute x

Interesting re-anaemia. I’m really anaemic .. struggling to tolerate the tablets, they make me throw up.. so taking a lower dose than I actually need!

@Bol87 ohh that must be hard then.
Today I’m feeling much better physically but the baby brain is 100% going to stay with me!🙈
