a strange side effect of pregnancy May 30, 2007
I am increasingly unable to maintain the necessary concentration to read an entire book - or even an entire magazine. I am generally a voracious reader, but I am just too scattered to read. It’s very weird. I’ve read less in the past few months than at any time I can remember. I tried to start a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt last week and can’t get past the first ten pages.
Yep. Been there, baby-brain and all. You know it goes away. Eventually.
Pregnancy brain. I never believed it was real until it happened to me!
I had that with Lorelei. When I was pregnant with William I had a craving to read deep spiritual tomes and I would lie in the bathtub at night and do that. With Lorelei, I would lie in the bathtub and read Agatha Christie and pulp romances. I had no ability to read anything challenging, nor did I want to.
I am having the same problem, I’m 30ish weeks. It is driving me nuts, it is taking me weeks to read fluffy novels, uggg.
