What to do if you have a bad memory after giving birth

Some women will experience a deterioration in memory after giving birth. This is usually caused by overwork. They have to take care of their children and breastfeed in a timely manner every day, so they cannot get enough rest every day. This often leads to a decline in physical fitness and insufficient blood supply to the brain, which causes poor memory. At this time, they must adjust their condition in time and pay attention to diet and health.

Question 1: Does memory really decline after childbirth?

Psychiatric scholars have conducted related experiments and found that women have difficulty remembering things during pregnancy, and a lot of new information stays in their minds for a very short time. Some scholars have also studied the memory of pregnant women at different stages of pregnancy, and the test results did not provide conclusive evidence that the memory of pregnant women has declined. In addition, the experiment found that there was no significant change in the recognition ability of pregnant women, but they seemed unable to accept new information. The memory loss shown by mothers may be simply due to anxiety or the desire to get attention from others, not a real brain problem.

Question 2: Can memory be restored after childbirth?

This is probably what all mothers want to know most. From the above, we can see that memory is easily reduced during pregnancy due to environmental factors and emotional influences. So can memory be restored after delivery?

Scholars have done research in this area and found that pregnant women do experience memory loss in the few days after giving birth, but their memory returns to normal about a month after giving birth. Although the reason for the memory recovery has not yet been identified, we know that there is hope for memory recovery after childbirth.

Question 3: How to help restore memory?

It is generally believed that the main reasons for mothers' postpartum memory loss are poor sleep quality, life pressure, pregnancy hormones in the body, etc. In daily life, mothers can help restore memory through some efforts:

Get enough sleep

Sleep quality is crucial to a person's brain. Poor sleep can easily cause confusion in the brain, and memory will of course decline. Sleep will also affect hormone secretion in the body. Mothers should try to keep their emotions stable at night, not be too emotional, listen to soothing music, and do some relaxing exercises. These can help mothers fall asleep faster.

· Proper exercise

I believe everyone knows the benefits of exercise, so I won’t elaborate on it here. Pregnant mothers should also ensure an appropriate amount of exercise during pregnancy, which will not only help with a smooth delivery but also enhance their physical fitness. After childbirth, doing moderate exercise while ensuring your body's recovery is also good for your health.

· Write down important things

If pregnant mothers feel that their memory has declined, they can write down the important things in their life and take them out to look at them more often when they have time. This will not only prevent them from worrying about forgetting something, but also help them remember.
