LACK OF MEMORY -Pregnant women become like Cinderella's Smemorina Fairy: they learn about everything, they devour childcare magazines and books in record time, memorizing infinite notions about the world of newborns, suddenly they become interpreters of big words such as "nuchal translucency", "flowmetry" and they know even remembering your baby's measurements at each ultrasound. But the likelihood of them remembering birthdays, dates, or where they put things during this time is very low! All the fault of the oxytocin that the body produces during pregnancy, but very useful for labor and after childbirth as it helps to forget pain.
