Motherhood is believed to be the most crucial aspect of a women's being. Something which transforms her completely into a much more gentle existing soul.

According to the recent reports on Pregnancy, a phase which that completes a woman's existence also tends to take away a major part of her. All the hormonal changes accompanying the period of gestations impose a major threat to the memory of the pregnant women.


Surveys have confirmed that about  70% of the ladies have complained about having issues regarding memory lapse in their Post parturition period. 
Medical science defines Amnesia as a condition of memory lapse which usually catches up with age. Well, amnesia suffered during pregnancy is often referred to as Momnesia or Pregnant Brain.

Dr. Shallu Kakkar, from Jaipur on being questioned about the fact behind Momnesia, replied, "In a neuropsychological research, a memory performance test was run on 412 pregnantwomen, 272 mothers and 386 non-pregnant females. Pregnant women experienced the worst problems in memory tasks which were more challenging. Though clinical test differ from the research studies and negate any structural changes in the brain during pregnancy, studies have proven functional changes are real. During pregnancy, memory deficit is very common and real. In another scientific study, a research conducted on the MRIs of pregnant women disclosed that some gray matter was lost during pregnancy in the participant women - particularly in those parts of the brain which are responsible for social reasoning and the ability to see other people's perspectives."

Pregnancy is a beautiful experience, cherish it, but with health.
