will I ever get my brain cells back
Ever since I got pregnant and even more so since the baby was born my brain cells are slowly drifting away.
When I take a shower I don't remember if I shampooed so I do it again. sometimes I even but the body wash in my hair on accident. I have gone into the shower forgeting to take off my glasses. And today I was doing laundry and couldn't remember if I turned it on. When I saw that I started it I couldn't remember if I put detergent in. Help!! will it ever get better.

Re: will I ever get my brain cells back
How old is your DC?
I found that I didn't become smart again until about 3-4 months after he was born.
I was petrified I would be stupid for the rest of my life.

Re: will I ever get my brain cells back
DD is 5 months old and I'm just starting to regain some but I feel like I have a ways to go. DH is always making fun of me-he thinks I need to go back to work I'm afraid that may not help though since I'll be even more distracted about DD

Re: will I ever get my brain cells back
At almost 9 months PP my DH still calls me a "Scatterbrain" and I have NEVER been like that before.
I used to be the person everyone came to when they needed to remember something.
It's gotten better, but it's still not anywhere near what I used to be.
I've shaved the same leg twice. I've tried to unlock my front door with the car opener. I put formula into my coffee instead of sugar.
And that's all in the last month.

Re: will I ever get my brain cells back
Same here, I'm embarrassed to say how many times I've missed an exit/turn, etc while driving b/c I'm in La La land

I think it has gotten a little better for me. DD is 14 months. But I still have moments.

Re: will I ever get my brain cells back
nope
we call it Mommy Brain
I forget things all the time
I have to make lists of everything that has to get done and still I forget sometimes
Life is just so busy now with 3 kids plus my nephew its hard to remember things
example: my sil dropped off my nephew late this morning...she is pregnant and she walked in and said well I forgot his diaper bag at home
the other day she forgot his sneakers
so she has Pregnant Mommy Brain which is worse than regular Mommy Brain
