What to do if you become forgetful after giving birth

Many female friends will find that they experience varying degrees of memory loss after having a baby, and gradually become forgetful. What causes this situation? What should you do if you become forgetful after giving birth? The following content tells us the solution to this problem in detail. Let’s take a look at it together.

After the second trimester of pregnancy, a woman’s cognitive abilities and memory will begin to become less efficient, and will plummet after giving birth, turning her into a “forgetful mother”. However, as the body gradually recovers and life and work return to normal, memory problems will gradually no longer be a problem.

1. Psychologically: All attention is focused on the newborn baby

In fact, for women who have just become mothers, their hearts are devoted to their children, and they will unconsciously adjust their state to suit being a mother. A research survey found that new mothers lose an average of 700 hours of sleep in the first year after their child is born, especially mothers who breastfeed lose the most sleep. When mothers put caring for their new life first, other things become unimportant and are inevitably forgotten.

2. Physiologically: Decreased estrogen levels lead to decreased memory

From a female's physical perspective, estrogen levels in the body drop sharply in the late stages of pregnancy and reach their lowest level after giving birth. In addition to playing a regulatory role in female fertility, estrogen is also a neurotransmitter that sends information to the brain. When estrogen levels in the body drop, the brain's memory naturally declines.

1. To enhance memory, in addition to exercising, you must also maintain a good sleep.

2. Eat more brain-boosting foods such as spinach, leeks, pumpkin, onions, broccoli, peppers, celery, tomatoes, carrots, garlic sprouts, walnuts, peanuts, pistachios, cashews, pine nuts, almonds, soybeans and their products. Egg yolks can greatly enhance memory. Middle-aged people are better off not taking medicine, because medicine is three-point poison. Running, Tai Chi, scalp massage, etc. can improve memory.

3. This is a normal phenomenon because the body has not yet been adjusted and recovered after childbirth. As long as you comb your hair frequently, it will help enhance your memory. Also, when you are irritable, try to control your emotions and divert your thoughts. This depends on you. Adjust your mentality and you will recover in no time.
