Forgetfulness: New mom side effect

Introduction

Let's be honest: Having a baby is an incredible experience. It's also really exhausting, and sometimes it can feel like your brain has just turned to mush. The name for this phenomenon is momnesia, and it affects a lot of new moms. But don't worry — momnesia is perfectly normal! Here are some tips on coping with forgetfulness after having a baby (or if you're an expectant parent who's experiencing this right now).

You recently had a baby and it's wonderful. But you're also a little forgetful lately. You're not alone. It's called momnesia.

You're not alone. It's called momnesia, and it's a real condition that can result in mild to severe forgetfulness. Momnesia is a temporary side effect of being a new mom, so don't feel bad if you forget things now and then.

Although momnesia is a normal part of being a new parent, it can be caused by sleep deprivation and stress, which are also common among new mothers. If you have any questions about whether or not your forgetfulness is related to being pregnant or having just given birth, talk to your doctor right away!

Momnesia is not a disease. It can be caused by sleep deprivation and stress, which are both common among new mothers. If you have any questions about whether or not your forgetfulness is related to being pregnant or having just given birth, talk to your doctor right away!

Momnesia is real

It's a real thing, and it's totally normal.

Sleep deprivation is a real thing, and it's definitely not just an excuse for you to stop washing your hair. The sleep-deprived brain has trouble forming new memories and keeping old ones around—that's what momnesia is! It may feel like your brain has been replaced with cotton balls, but don't worry: it won't last forever (and hey, if you're lucky enough to have a baby who sleeps well right away, maybe you'll be able to remember where you put those diapers).

The important thing is that this state of mind isn't necessarily permanent. Once you get into the habit of getting more sleep every night (a habit that probably starts after about six months or so), things will start to come back into focus again—and until then? You're doing great!

Momnesia is normal

Momnesia is normal. It's a temporary condition that occurs during a time of increased stress and sleep deprivation. As soon as you get back to your regular routine and start getting more sleep, you'll feel like your old self again. This side effect of being a new mom doesn't represent anything serious—it's not a sign of mental illness, brain damage or memory loss. In fact, it's actually pretty common: According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), working mothers in Japan have almost twice as much forgetfulness than those who don't work outside the home!

* Remember that momnesia is a normal side effect of being a new mother, and it doesn't indicate anything serious like mental illness or brain damage * Don't worry about forgetting things—it happens to all of us at some point in life * Try giving yourself reminders on your phone, or put up sticky notes around the house

* Get more sleep! * Keep a journal of your experiences—this will help you see which behaviors contribute to momnesia, and what things may trigger it * Don't panic if you have these symptoms—go see the doctor so they can check them out

Momnesia may be linked to sleep deprivation

“Momnesia” is a term that encompasses the many symptoms of sleep deprivation, which can cause forgetfulness. Research shows that momnesia may be linked to postpartum depression. It's important to remember, though, that new moms are not alone in their struggles with memory loss—many people suffer from this as a result of sleep deprivation.

It's often difficult for new mothers to get enough rest because they're spending so much time caring for babies and other family members. In addition, hormonal changes during pregnancy and after childbirth can contribute to fatigue and exhaustion. New parents who are lackadaisical about their sleep routines will end up paying the price: they'll feel groggy all the time!

If you're struggling with momnesia or another sleep-related issue, it might help to speak with a doctor about your concerns. It's possible that there is some underlying problem causing your sleep problems.

Don't worry about it — give yourself a break!

Hey, it's normal to forget things right after having a baby.

You're probably feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and trying to keep up with everything else in your life while caring for someone who needs constant attention is probably not helping anything. Don't worry about forgetting things — they'll come back to you when you need them!

Plus, it's a good idea to give yourself some breaks from constantly doing things. It's hard enough having a newborn around 24/7 without adding any extra stressors. Try taking some time off work if you can afford it: being constantly on-the-go all day long is exhausting, so make sure you're getting plenty of rest.

You'll also want to make sure you're eating well and getting enough sleep. It's important for both mental health purposes as well as to avoid feeling like you've got nothing left.

Conclusion

As we have seen, fatigue and forgetfulness are two of the most common side effects of new motherhood. They can be distressing and make your life more difficult, but they're perfectly normal. From our discussion, you should now know how to deal with these symptoms as well as other problems such as depression or anxiety that may occur later on in your life as a mom. If you haven't already done so, we recommend taking some time out by yourself to relax while enjoying some tea or coffee (or even wine!)
