Does anyone feel like they’ve lost their mind since having their baby?
Recently I seem to have become really ditzy and I have no idea why. I wish I could say it’s tiredness after looking after a 4 month old. But she’s actually a good sleeper so I don’t think it’s that. I didn’t get “baby brain” during pregnancy, other than the usual forgetting what you’re doing in a room. But this is worse.
Examples: Put air fryer on for dinner, cooked the empty drawer. Wondered why my food on the other side was still frozen after. Went to a car wash, was told to put the car in neutral. I did. But the car didn’t move. Kept being asked to take the handbrake off, said it wasn’t on. Completely forgot my foot was on the footbrake 🤦♀️. There’s more examples but it just seems to be happening all of a sudden but fairly frequently.
Has anyone else experienced something like this, and if so, does it go back to normal?! I feel like I’ve lost my mind recently.
