Almost every woman during pregnancy complains not only of bad sleep and sudden changes in her body, but also of forgetfulness. This problem is especially acute for women who decide to work the first two trimester. Should we take this as a deviation from the norm and how to cope with absent-mindedness, we will consider in this article.
Where do "legs grow"?
There are several different versions, why pregnant women constantly forget something and sometimes can not concentrate on a long period:
- psychological reasons (during gestation the woman is in constant meditation about forthcoming childbirth, child care and possible problems, all this leads to emotional instability and forgetfulness);
- simple fatigue (even the strongest and hardiest man has his "ultimate strength", what to say about a pregnant woman who not only carries a child under her heart, but is also in the stage of complete hormonal reorganization of the body);
- physiological causes (during the third trimester, the cells of the brain are slightly compressed, this is caused by hormonal fluctuations, which in turn affects the metabolism of cells);
- absent-mindedness as a natural reaction (according to one version, the body itself is fenced off from unnecessary and negative information, thereby ensuring calmness and balance during gestation);
- quite often a woman during pregnancy simply can not "press the brake" and continues her usual rhythm, the body thus tries to give a signal that he is at the limit and tired.
How to deal with this?
In fact, it's just not necessary to fight. It is necessary to perceive this as a norm and simply change your habitual way of life. You can not influence the processes in the body, but you will be able to help yourself a little.
The first thing you should take as a rule is periodic relaxation. You are obliged to give yourself a rest, otherwise you will not be able to work or build your daily routine normally. Relaxing and relaxing can be done with the help of relaxing music, aromatherapy, drawing, reading. Choose any method, as long as it allows you to completely isolate yourself from the outside world and relax.
It is very important to get enough sleep. Strong sleep not only helps restore the strength of a woman during the period of gestation, he gives a rest to the brain and thus to function to the full. Be sure to well ventilate the bedroom, try to stay up no later than 10 pm. If you fully sleep, your brain will be clear for the morning and you will be able to focus on a longer period.
Food and drink also contribute to normal functioning. If you think that "tasty" and "useful" can not get along in one plate, then you are mistaken. Absence is often a sign of an unbalanced diet of a woman. Correctly
It is clear that during the first and third trimesters it will be difficult for you to remember everything. Yes, this is not necessary. It's enough just to get a small notebook and immediately record there your plans for the day, week and month.
However, do not write off everything just for fatigue or overexertion. If you started to notice that your forgetfulness is systematic, do not hesitate to visit a doctor. Most likely he will offer you walks in the fresh air and a healthy sleep, supplement it with vitamins and positive emotions.
