I feel so dumb at times, Is something wrong with me?

Answer 1

8 months later and i'm still forgetful. I'm not quite as bad as I used to be though. Once you start sleeping more and everything calms down, it'll get better!

Congratulations by the way!

Answer 2

you have so much more on your mind now subconsciously, your bound to forget! aww congratulations though =]

Answer 3

I was till seems like just recently... MY SON IS 11 MONTHS!!!! I asked the doctor and she said everyone is different and it could take up to a year to feel "normal" from all the hormones. But NOW thank God I'm feeling my old-self again.

Answer 4

Nope it is normal,my daughter is almost 7 months and I am still forgetful!!! LOL The other day I opened the file cabinet (which is a key lock) and got something out,then locked it back and set the key somewhere,about 10 minutes later I had to put something else in it well I have NO CLUE what I did with the key!!! LOL now 5 days later I still can't find it!!! It is especially common within the first few months after having a baby,you are probably sleep deprived and stressed.It will eventually go away when you child doesn't need so much attention,It did with my son:)

Answer 5

This is your life now, lol, I have 4 kids and lost my brain with the first one and still haven't found it, everytime I go to look I forget what it was I was looking for, what was your question again ? Being serious, start reading books, if you can find the time, it helps focus your mind.

Answer 6

its normal, it will get slightly better!!! being tired doesnt help.

Answer 7

It never went away with my first now I'm pregnant again and it is even worse.  My husband calls it "baby brains" I can't remember anything! Try to get more sleep sometimes helps.  Or walk around with a notebook.  

Answer 8

Welcome to the club, my two are way past baby stage and I still spend my days running up and down the stairs forgetting what I went up for, remembering at the bottom and forgetting by the time I get to the top again!
