Review Writing After Baby

Does anyone else find that their ability to string together a cohesive thought free of grammatical and spelling mistakes takes a huge dip after childbirth? I am embarrassed by some of the mistakes I've made at work and on eeps. Anyone else? Does this disappear with time or ginseng or WHAT? ;O

I had this problem before the baby.. but I believe that is what I like to call "mommy brain." See the theory is that the baby takes half your brain cells while your pregnant. This could be your problem. Watch out if you ever have a second one... my husband says I've already lost it and still have 4 more months to go.

Seriously though I have found that my writing here helps me continue to improve my skills as I wasn't very good prior to joining.

I definitely had trouble concentrating while I was pregnant too, but I thought my spaciness would leave me when my daughter was born.

Oh well. If half of my brain has to go to someone, I want it to go to my daughter. :D

Mommy Brain is my problem, too. Although this problem existed long before I even had children. ;)

Pregnancy is also definitely interfering with my review time.

I agree with this too. Up until this pregnancy I was abl to get out several reviews a month. I was so ill at the beginning there was no way this was happening.

Also... Hang in there Meagan, some sanity will return.
