Between the sleep deprivation and new demands on your schedule, it’s no surprise if you have “mommy brain.”
Common symptoms of “mommy brain” are:
- Forgetting WHY you walked into a room.
- Telling your child they would get a punishment, then forgetting what the punishment is.
- Driving around, then forgetting where you’re going and which child you need to pick up.
- Waiting for a friend at a restaurant, wondering where they are then realizing YOU are at the wrong restaurant. (That’s what I did just last month!)

On the flip side, some people like author Katherine Ellison believe that motherhood makes our brains stronger. Ellison wrote about it in her book The Mommy Brain: How Motherhood Makes Us Smarter.
