Pregnant women and mothers have to cope with many new tasks.

They are muddled, forgetful, screwed up: mothers. Neurologists have studied this phenomenon and not only found an explanation in the brain of women.
SPregnant and new mothers know exactly what is meant when they talk about “Mommy Brain”: It is an affectionate euphemism for forgetting all the little things. The key to the apartment somewhere under the sofa, what was on the shopping list, your girlfriend’s birthday or names that seem to have been magically removed from memory. “Mommy Brain” means the forgetfulness of mothers.
Now American scientists in the journal “JAMA Neurology” are demanding that the phenomenon urgently needs to be examined more closely. From a purely biological point of view, it doesn’t really make sense for pregnant women and mothers to squabble. And yet, in studies, up to 80 percent of all pregnant women and just as many new mothers report that their memory fails them more often than they were used to from the time before motherhood.
