I certainly had memory loss during my latest pregnancy. I am still struggling with this and the baby is 4 months old. It has gotten better, but not back to normal yet.
I would say that I had Mom memory. I could remember a certain number of things and if something new was added, I would have to forget something else to compensate for new memories. It is no wonder because of hormones, the lack of sleep, and the overall effort it takes to care for a newborn.
Ditto here. But as v2011 said it was probably due to a combination of different factors. Lack of sleep, physical stress, hormones, mental stress etc. But honestly, almost 5 years later with my second I am still waiting for my memory to return. And then on some days it's better not to remember certain things...
<p></p> OMG! I'm 16 weeks pregnant and I thought I was losing my mind because I keep forgetting simple thing's lately! I'm soooo glad that I ran into this article! There IS hope!!! LOL

Hi,
I am 14 weeks pregnant and I am experiencing a significant memory loss, as I can't even remember small things which are normally easy to remember. I am attending education classes like professional development classes related to my job, I am soooo depressed tht I failed the recent one which was kind of average difficult.
Loosing memory is a stressfull situation, and I am worrying about as pregnancy progresses memory loss will be worse.
I am three months pregnant and finally had some girlfriends over last night for a get together. I don't know these ladies really well but I have met with them a handful of times over the past two years. Last night I mistook one of them for another and was so embarrassed! The two I mixed up do look a bit similar but I know them well enough to not mistake them and have never confused them before. My brain was not working for me last night and it totally freaked me out! After about 2 minutes I realized why the conversation I was having wasn't making sense - so I did recognize my mistake eventually, but it was too late to cover it up. I was mortified! I felt like an alzheimer's patient in the making. Please tell me this is a combination of pregnancy hormones, fatigue and perhaps a moment of cluelessness and not anything more serious...or?
If anyone can offer any support or encouragement I'd appreciate it:)
