I used to work at a very intense reception where I would usually have about 7 different tasks goin at the same time, barely finishing one before getting the next one.

I'm used to my mind being really sharp and having access to most things I've heard recently and a lot of long term stuff too.

However, since our son was born, and everything my body went through during that time of emergency, I'm realizing that is not currently the case.

It's like I can barely keep up with the one task or conversation I am having at a time.

The nurses would share some information and I could tell I'd need to use that information at the end of the conversation, and I needed to braise myself to make sure I was going to actually be able to use the new information just shared seconds earlier.

Is this part of that "normal" mom's brain changes after giving birth, or is this extra due to having had eclampsia on top of the normal hormonal changes? 🤔

I'm glad I can tell my normal is still under there, so I can actually access it if I really concentrate, but I'm also going to give myself permission to limit myself to one task at a time, instead of my normal 7-10 in I've had going on in the background usually 😅

Being able to look over at my baby is totally worth it.

Not needing to go through this alone, but having an absolutely amazing husband to share it with makes it even more enjoyable!
