Put it down. Forget it! 🤯 Delve into the "brain blur after birth."

Mom, which one is it? 🙋‍♀️

Walk into the kitchen..."Uh, what are you picking up?" 🤔

Drop the car keys..."Oh, where are you?" 😅

Don't panic, Mom is not going to get Alzheimer's, but this is the hit "Mom Brain," or postpartum brain blurring!

Today we summarize the reason for a simple cartoon (scroll through the illustration 👉) of what exactly happens to our bodies?

...

🧐 delve into the two main reasons why I'm "Dee." 🧐

1️⃣ The hormone storm pounded 🌪️ (see upper right image).

After birth, my body is like a roller coaster!

* 📉 Original hormones drastically reduce: Hormones that used to be abdominal high (such as estrogen) fall quickly.

* 📈 Love hormone rush: The body sheds a lot of "oxytocin" (bond hormone).

* 👉 Results: The brain is reprogrammed to focus on "children" as the number one 👶 until other things in daily life become secondary, making us blur and forget more easily (the brain has not adapted in time)

2️⃣ Vicious cycle of sleep deprivation 😴❌ (see lower left ventricle image)

This is the best baby! Wake up every few hours to breastfeed, change diapers...The condition is clearly zombie. 🧟‍♀️

* 👉 Results: Insufficient sleep disrupts the process of recording the brain's "long-term memory." The brain is so tired that it can't be processed. Forgetful is very common.

...

🌈 The good news is...It doesn't last forever! (see lower right image)

Don't stress. This is the "natural mechanism" that the body is adjusting. When you grow up, the mother starts to schedule and sleep more. The brain will gradually come back to the same light! ✨

Encourage all mothers who are fighting their lives. Ugh! ❤️👍

💬 friends, mothers, which house is facing the fate of "Mom Brain"? Forget what peak? Let's share the heroism to the world at the comments soon! 👇😂
