Pregnancy hormones do wierd things to you. Its not necessarily dumber.... but problems remembering things, getting more emotional, and maybe worrying about new or different things are all normal and to be expected.
Dont forget that the farther along she gets she will also be more uncomfortable and not sleeping as well (just a preview of what will come once the baby is born with really NO sleep) and that can make her more emotional and forgetful too.
She is also trying to learn/ worrying about/thinking alot about the baby and being a parent.... so things that she usually paid attention to may be seem as important to her right now.
Its all a part of being pregnant. I called it swiss cheese brain..... it eventually gets better. The best you can do is just be supportive and pitch in whereever you can.
Good luck!

Stupid Pregnant Women

I dont know why they start to tell you things like that... all women are different and are going to react differenty to being pregnant.... now the whole forgetting thing is half way true... its not that you are going to forget everything its just that with some women they dont really think about everything that is going on around them they are thinking about how they are feeling, and about whats happening with their body and the baby. I was told that you can eat soft cheese, nothing that had green tea in it, no cold deli meat, then i was also told that you are not supose to eat anything with peanuts in it because it might give the baby an allergic reaction to them.. but then i had WIC and they encouraged you to eat peanut butter... i dont know.

I wouldn't say stupid or dumb, pregnant women get forgetful, I always called it baby brain. There would be days I would forget where I was going or what I was doing and it would be something that was part of my daily routine. Have patients it will pass. Good luck :)

In a way yes, they tend to stop thinking logically and tend to think more emotionally. While one or the other isn't right or wrong thinking over emotionaly can create problems. Especially for the male. Just ignore it and her if you need to. No shame in it to keep the peace and your sanity. If she's worried about things console her but don't get sucked onto it. She should act like an adult.

Not in the sense that we need to rephrase questions :) Women have a lot of changes, especially horomonal ones. One of my friends calls it "placenta brain" and most of the people I know who have been pregnant have had this happen to them, including myself. I find myself more at a loss for words, and more absentminded than usual. Stupid...not exactly the word I would use, though.

I think you may have phrased your question wrong,but I do know what you are talking about. I Tended to get forgetful and absent minded.I would forget little things that I never forgot before. Some of it has to do with the physical changes,and a lot has to do with the emotional changes. We have a lot on our minds and couple that with all that is happening with our bodies we do tend to be a little more addle brained.

Personally, I am offended by your question. How could you ask something like that and be so bold about it. However, the answer is no. Women do not get dumber while pregnant. There are many hormonal changes that go on within ones body to prepare for the baby. Blood flow is redirected to the baby, and oxygen goes to the baby. How can a woman think clearly with extra hormones and less blood flow? I suggest that if you are in a tiff with a woman who is pregnant, that you just lay off till she gets her hormones back in balance. Until then, please be more specific with your questions.

We don't get stupid jeez....we just have problems remembering some things because most of our oxygen and blood flow is directed to the fetus so we take the brunt of it.
