Any mothers feel forgetful and your brain seems like its wondering off after having children?


Question:
I don't know why I can't focus and think like I use to. Sometimes I don't feel like I'm in reality. I feel like I'm in a dream! After I had my child, I started to feel this way! I know 2 other ladies who say the same thing. Does anybody know what is going on?

Answers:
I feel like that all the time! It's been over 5 years for me!
Seriously, you should call your health care provider and schedule a blood work up and physical exam. They can screen you for things like post partum depression, endocrine/hormone imbalances, etc. I had both memory loss and hair loss after my second pregnancy. Come to find out I had hypothyroid. I'm on medication now. You might not have any physical condition but you really should have it checked out.
Good luck!

Other Answers:
Please go see a Doctor, this is not normal. You should not feel like you are in a dream state.
i hear it has to do with chemical imbalance (or something like that)
my sister is that way...she became that way after having her 2nd kid, which was 4 years ago, and she is STILL that way..she is forgetful and doesn't think about what she is doing sometimes (not in a dream state though. as for the other symptoms they aren't so bad that she can't properly take care of her kids, but nonetheless it's still annoying to her..lol) unless you take something for it, it could just stay with you forever
ps, that's true what justin..... said, you shouldn't feel like you are in a dream state
Exercise along with eating fresh fruit and vegetables daily helps mental clarity. Also try taking whole food vitamins. Ladies night out does wonders too. Good Luck
It could be hormonally related. Pregnancy triggers the change in a lot of hormonal levels, that may not go back to pre-pregnancy levels, in all women, all the time.

The #1 hormone - because it can affect the production of all the other hormones - is insulin. You should ask your doctor for a fasting insulin blood test . Ask for a copy of the results. 10 or higher is abnormal for an adult.

Also ask for a saliva test. This test will tell you if any of the feminine hormones are not at the best levels. I do not like doctors who prescribe hormones for any feminine problem without testing first. When that happened to me - the shot he gave me switched me from low blood sugar to diabetes.

Your symptoms and those of the other answerers could be related to low blood sugar. You may want to check out www.hufa.org, and click on the symptoms link to check yourself out.
