It happens because the baby takes the omega 3 from you brain. Normally the omega works as a lubricant to speed electrical impulses along the myelin sheath...so our thoughts are slower lol

Ugh.  The other day i got half way to work before i realized i forgot to put on deoderant!  Who does that?  And it wasnt the first time.  Started keeping some in my truck!  I also freaked out when i thought i lost my keys after getting out of the truck.  Paniced because they werent in my purse or coat pocket. Used my key code to get back in my truck and the keys were in the ignition AND the truck was still running! I feel Crazy!

I have been a complete and utter space case since I got pregnant. It's so bad some days that I walk into the bathroom and forget I have to pee until I walk out and sit down.

It's normal. It's called pregnancy brain and it *****
