Reasons for memory decline during pregnancy

A scientific study reveals that the phenomenon known as "Pregnancy Brain," experienced by many women during pregnancy due to elevated levels of estrogen, results in temporary memory disturbances without affecting mood. Experiments on laboratory mice demonstrated that increased estrogen connects the hypothalamus and hippocampus, which hampers memory activity and impairs the ability to recall both short-term and long-term information. This condition is most noticeable during the later stages of pregnancy and may persist after childbirth. It affects cognitive tasks such as remembering names and words; however, it does not indicate a decrease in intelligence. Experts indicated that about 80% of pregnant women experience these changes, which are not considered serious but can impact daily performance and self-confidence.
