Yesterday, a friend in my mother group complained: Since I got pregnant, my brain has become like a layer of membrane, and my intelligence has dropped sharply, and I feel that I have become silly.
Before getting pregnant, remember clearly whether it is the daily trivialities in life, such as credit card billing days, how much money did you buy, or things at work.
But now, I can't even accept it myself. Often, I forget what the call is as soon as I finish the phone call. When working with
, my colleagues had to say it several times before I could get a little impression. Every time I go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, it is difficult to calculate the money.
Which star in the past, what role he played in the movie and TV series, can be said immediately after seeing it, but now I can't remember it.
Alas, this is probably the legendary three years of pregnancy. I'm worried when I think about it, I'm still going to take the exam. This is just stupid for three years, and daylily is cold.
To be honest, many women will feel this more or less after pregnancy and giving birth. I was obviously quite smart before and was very smart, but after having a baby, I was so stupid that I even disliked myself.
If you still have to take care of your child for three years at home, you will feel like you are completely foolish and you will feel like you are useless.
Can pregnancy and having babies still change the structure of a person’s brain? Otherwise, why would there be the so-called "three years of stupidity in one pregnancy"?
Foreign scientists have found that after a woman becomes pregnant, changes in hormone levels in the body will lead to changes in brain structure.
specifically manifests itself as under the cerebral cortex, the volume of brain gray matter will be significantly reduced, and the function of the "preset mode network" in the brain will be significantly enhanced (that is, the brain is still working automatically when it does not perform conscious activities). This change still exists two years after giving birth.
In addition, in the female brain, the hippocampus , which is responsible for storing short-term memories, will have a slight increase. Perform better when performing short-term memory tests. The reason why
has undergone this series of changes, scientists explained that this is a maternal trait and does not mean that brain function will be reduced.
In other words, the brain's gray matter becomes less, which for others, usually leads to mental decline, memory disorders, reduced cognitive function, prone to anger, and stronger aggression.
But scientists believe that for mothers, there will be no adverse effects, but just to better take care of their children and facilitate the establishment of an intimate maternal and infant attachment relationship with their children.
We don’t know why there is such a difference, but the “preset mode network” function in our mind is enhanced, and I guess many mothers will feel it.
Before giving birth, I fell asleep and couldn't move. After having a baby, no matter when the child is, as long as the child makes a little humming, he can wake up immediately.
In addition, it is true that many mothers feel that their memory is worse. If according to scientists, it is not caused by changes in the brain structure, then the factors that lead to "pregnancy stupidity" are likely to be the following:
Lack of adequate sleep
During pregnancy, some mothers cannot sleep well at night due to mental tension, anxiety, physical discomfort, and frequent urination of .
After the child is born, he has to get up frequently at night to feed his night milk, change his diapers, etc., so he can't sleep all night. If the human body has a long-term lack of sleep, it will lead to memory loss.
does not have enough energy
After the child is born, many mothers will devote their energy to taking care of the child. Because people's energy and attention are limited, they will naturally become helpless in other things.
