I gave birth 4 months ago. Before the birth, I had a very bad 6 months at work.
I was struggling with new responsibilities of deadlines and learning new ideas, but was otherwise clearheaded, so thought I was unaffected by the pregnancy.
There was one particular technical idea I struggled with and in my review for the period (which I had last week) my boss was quite nasty about it and basically marked me down for this one thing.
Last night I had an epiphany. I saw how I should have done the thing, and why he was so frustrated at me that I couldn't do it. The pregnancy fug is clearing and I feel stupid for not realising just how much it was affecting my ability to think (and to act rationally).
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
