What is it that causes baby brain?
I’m currently pregnant and definitely feel it happening. But why? And can it be prevented?

When you are pregnant, your ovaries increase production of a hormone called Relaxin. This hormone loosens joints and ligaments to help you when it’s time to give birth (babies have big heads!)
Relaxin also has side-effects related to memory loss and even digestion (relaxing your colon so it’s harder to poop and you feel constipated).
It is normal, not permanent, and you wouldn’t want to treat it as it would make the actual birth harder on your body.
