Is pregnancy/baby brain real or a myth? I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I swear my brain is starting to deteriorate. My memory is getting worse, especially my short term memory and I'm having a really difficult time focusing. My boss has become more and more demanding and I feel like I'm contstatnly failing. I'm having a very difficult time keeping up with his demands. Today I was so frustrated with myself that I started crying. Could this be because I'm not sleeping as well and I have lots of other things or my mind or could it be something more? It's awufl. I just want my pre-pregnancy self and brain back :-(
