Pregnancy is full of pleasant surprises. Here’s a list of six positive changes you can look forward to
Although many pregnant women will identify with the term porridge brain (when you seem to forget everything all the time), studies show that in actual fact you become smarter during pregnancy. Brain expert Don Joseph Goewey points to a study that found pregnant mammals to have an increase in mental sharpness and memory and could retain more information over a longer period of time.
Oestrogen, progesterone and oxytocin help strengthen the part of your brain that’s responsible for memories. If you’re experiencing a bit of porridge brain, don’t worry too much. It’s probably a result of nerves and sleeplessness. Try doing a crossword or Sudoku puzzle to keep all your cylinders firing.
