Bad memory after having a baby

I’m getting really REALLY frustrated with my boyfriend at the minute. He keeps calling me a liar for things like me recalling something in a conversation inaccurately, and it’s upsetting because I’ve explained before how I’ve seen this shift in my memory since having my baby 10 months ago, I’ve become a lot more forgetful and even find myself asking “what was I saying” in conversations where it may have stemmed off topic. Before having my baby I had absolutely no issues with memory, especially my short term memory and so it’s frustrating internally for me trying to navigate this alone, but being called a liar on top, for something I actually can’t help,is just deeply upsetting and I’m not sure what to even do at the minute? From googling this seems to be the “mum brain” brain fog I hear people talk about and it’s scary to read that it can last up to 2 years?!?! Anyone experiencing anything similar?😩☹️

Yes, I have this too. If someone interrupts me the thought is gone. Why is your boyfriend acting like that? He can look it up and see what’s going on. Calling you a liar is a huge stretch. That’s not okay. Makes me sad that you are being treated like that over something you can’t control

Omg yes! That’s the worst 😭, I just feel like at times he really doesn’t give much grace, like he forgets that even though I may seem fine, after having a baby there’s sooo much we go through ☹️ not all men are mindful of that. Being called a liar is defo a huge stretch, deeply upsets me!😭 @Chloe Thankyou for making me feel heard & seen!xx

Women have to go through allll of this shit before giving birth, right? So, why aren’t fathers required to take a class or be educated on postpartum. It needs to be a thing. Men and postpartum are like enemies are something. Neither of them understand each other

You are totally valid in your feelings. He needs to grow up honestly… that’s not okay. It really isn’t that big of a deal. It happens to everyone now and then especially postpartum. I hope that he is able to educate himself about the topic and be a supportive partner❤️
