memory loss after baby?

not sure were to put this, please move if not in the right spot.

Has anyone experienced memory loss after baby? ya'know like "pregnate brain" but worse? this may be more rambled then usual, probably nothing but it is bothering me.

Allyssa is almost 5 weeks old, and i feel like my mind is going. i either forget the dog needs to go out for the toilet, or i take her out and forget to bring her in, (funny considering i have to watch her as we have no front fence!) i gop to do/say things and instantly forget, sure thats normal, but im constantly doin it, df thinks im ignoring him, cos i just dont notice he is talking to me, or he asks something, i say yeah, then dont do it, ive enen asked him to do things only to ask why he done it after. (not realizing id origonaly asked) i tell the kids to do something, then ask them why were they doing it, each time i go out i forget most of what ive gone to get, list or not.
the worst is im finding i need to stop and ask myself if ive eaten today or not.:shakehead:


sorry, not sure if there was a point to this, just had to get it out i guess...

im feeling a little by like this myself at the moment, though i know my situation is a bit different.....but i dunno, it does sound kind of normal, i mean your brain is elsewhere with your baby, so it's normal to forget things....sorry im not much help, hope someone else can give you a better answer ;)

Ive been stressing for a few days that we had debits coming out yesterday and when i checked the bank this morning the money was still there. DER KYLIE they came out last week so not due till next week lol

yeah, dont start me on money! rents due tommorow or today? and ive somehow forgot to transfer some, so am down 200... the can wait another week im sure it wont kill them, still dont know how i managed that one:shakehead:

Sounds like stress. I get like that when I'm stressed and lets face it, having 4 small people to look after including a newborn has got to be pretty stressful. Add to the your hormones rearranging themselves, then yeah I'd say there's good reason. When I get like that, I just explain to people that I'm going through a stressful stage, can they please write things down. I keep lists because if someone tells me something I forget a nano second later.

Can Dh pick up some of the slack?
