Researchers from the University of Deakin in Australia were able to determine that pregnancy actually affects negatively the cognitive functions of the expectant mother.

As shown by the experiment of scientists, four representatives of the fair sex of five during pregnancy face such a problem. Women begin to become forgetful, lose concentration and habitual for themselves wits.

The future mothers themselves tell that they notice absentmindedness: they can not remember where certain objects were put, and also they can forget what they just did or why they went to another room.

Many of the pregnant participants admitted that they might lose the thread of conversation, and in order to forget nothing, it is always necessary to make various notes. Some people can not concentrate on reading their favorite book.

The authors of the work decided to organize a meta-analysis of twenty experiments that were conducted in the last ten years.

They also studied works that affect other cognitive functions. A total of 1,230 women participated in the work, 709 of them were in the position, 521 - were not pregnant.

In total, in pregnant women, cognitive functions were much worse than in girls who were not in this interesting position.
