memory *****

[darthmander]

I feel that my mind is going blank so much. I forget things. I feel like my vision s ucks even more as well. Is this normal or do I have anything to worry about? Any other mothers feel like this?

Post-its is a great idea. I went to grocery store 3 times in 1 week bc i kept forgetting things. So I started making a list and checking it twice. Lol

lol yupp I have big pregnancy brain!! I can't remember anything or think straight! I do the same as StacyAl, I make notes of things I did to do and cross them off as I go. And yes vision changes is normal in pregnancy as well and they will most likely remain the same after pregnancy. I didn't need glasses until my first pregnancy. I got my vision checked with this pregnancy only because I have medicaid (during pregnancy only) and they pay for one pair of glasses! :)

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I have post-its through out my entire house reminding me to do things, or saying things I've already done. And I made sure to get neon post-its so there was no way of over looking them lol

The vision thing is normal, which is why they dom't recommend a vision screening while pregnant, because pregnancy can affect your vision.

same thing for me to even blurry vision sometimes

Arg. My memory was bad to start with and now its like blah. I go into the kitchen 3 times before I remember why I went in there

Not sure about the vision problems but the mind going blank is what is lovingly called mommy brain lol. I'm not sure why it happens but its very very common
