Hey everyone! So this is my first pregnancy I’m currently 8 weeks as of yesterday and I was wondering, has anyone felt more forgetful than usual during this trimester or extremely moody? Any suggestions how I could better manage this? Any tips would be greatly appreciated 😊

Well being forgetful is completely normal your brain literally shrinks during pregnancy and the mood changes are due to your body getting used to the new hormones and new levels of them what I would recommend is praying and asking God to remove any frustration or anything you might be feeling

thank you for the info. My partner has felt a bit frustrated with me lately I feel bad but sometimes I feel like it’s out of my control

I’ve been pregnant a few times before this but I’ve never ever been so moody! I literally can’t put up with anything. I’ve never been less afraid to stand up for myself. It’s weird!

same here!

That's just the beginning of pregnancy brain!

That was one of the reasons why I took a test at 5wks, I started feeling really slow up in my noodle.
I feel like it’s best to just let it happen and laugh at any mistakes u make so u don’t get too frustrated
as for the moodiness, I’m still tryna get a handle on it, it’s been really bad especially with my mental health being a bit on the bend recently and I feel bad for my partner bc of it…been snapping more lately

I can’t remember anything!! My boyfriend got so frustrated with me on Christmas because I kept losing my phone and didn’t remember where I put it. Then I lost my car keys omg I’m like I’ve never been so forgetful it’s crazy!

right I feel the same way

Omg the pregnancy brain has been so bad. I’ve just done dumb things. Like I tried to put my son down for a nap and left the light on. This morning I was trying to dress my son and got it all messed up. I was trying to put sweats on before changing his onesie. And then at one point I tried putting his socks on before I put a new diaper on. Just dumb things 😂 Losing everything constantly. Lol

Mine is getting so bad, that i forgot for few seconds my husbands name….
