Learning to relax ..to breath properly ..it's all part of waiting for a baby to arrive.
Shifra Landowne is 3 ½ months pregnant and enjoying it. But she doesn't quite feel like herself these days.
I am just very flaky sometimes. Today I left my wallet somewhere on my way out shopping, that was not usual for me.
Landowne could be experiencing what pregnant woman often call "baby brain" or "pregnancy brain"
They feel distracted. And lose concentration easily.
But after generations of women swearing this really does happen ... new research says baby brain just doesn't exist.
More than 1200 women, were given memory tests.. before and after they gave birth . The study concludes that there is no apparent link to memory loss just because a woman is pregnant.
Instead, the study finds that any absentmindedness may have more to do with having more on your mind when your pregnant ... and being tired.
Anri Benninkmeyer, who is five months pregnant says she tries to keep a light attitude about it.
And doctors offer simple advice. Eat well, get plenty of sleep...and try to remember ... to make a list.
