Just curious if any other preggo working mom is having same issue.

I had this with #2 also, but since about 18 weeks (now 23) my concentration for working has been really bad. I am tired, but also I just have so much trouble focussing!!!

Ugh, just frustrated.

I always used to say that much of my blood supply had been diverted from my brain to my womb and that accounted for the mental fogginess. it's normal.

Then after delivery, all the active sites in the conscious brain are filled with parenting details, leaving no space for anything else like one's work. See

drink ALOT!!!

and MAKE SURE you eat well! & take ur pre-natals


theres no reason for feeling foggy, unless you're tired and mal-nutrietient or thirsty. if you take care of these 3 things you should feel much better

I worked till I couldn't cope any more with my last 1... I was working with kids... and I was aneimic. it was horrible b/c I would just fall asleep and I wouldn't be able to control it! and sleeping when ur supposed 2 be keeping an eye on 13, 18month olds is NOT smart! but I know I didn't drink enough... drinking in general helps concentration... and pregnant woman are supposed to drink a min of 2 1/2 ltrs a day!! (ha... and I'm talking! I'm lucky if I drink 1/2!! I just know the principal of things but dont necessarily do it!)

good luck. its not easy Confused
