Umm, thats cause your brain never recovers after taking care of infants, toddlers, etc, etc. Try interviewing these women before pregnancy and then during pregnancy, not go for the 2nd or 3rd interview once they have children.
ITA! I have a REALLY good memory and when I was pregnant I was often very scattered brained and forgetful! I am sure it was a panel of men that conducted this study lol!
On the Doctors the other day someone mentioned "preggo brain" and one of the doctors said it's real...babies demand Omega-3 fatty acids in the womb and our brains are mostly fat, so that's where we get the forgetfulness, etc.
Yeah, since I got pregnant with DD I have felt that way... especially now as I've been doing so many forgetful and dumb things lately. I was NOT this way before. lol
