If you’ve been pregnant, you’re likely familiar with the phenomenon known as “pregnancy brain.” This quirky phase often continues into “baby brain,” eventually leading to the all-too-familiar “I’m-a-mother-and-I-can’t-remember-where-I-put-my-keys brain.” We often chuckle at our forgetfulness, share amusing anecdotes about our forgetful moments during pregnancy, and offer lighthearted warnings to soon-to-be moms. However, amidst the laughter, pregnancy brain might be more concerning than we initially thought.
Recent findings published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal highlight the seriousness of this condition. In a comprehensive five-year study involving 500,000 participants, researchers discovered a staggering 42% increase in severe traffic accidents among pregnant drivers compared to their non-pregnant counterparts. This startling statistic underscores the importance of ensuring that expectant mothers receive the support they need. Perhaps it’s time to consider a personal chauffeur for those who are navigating this unique phase of life!
