From the sleep deprivation and the stress to the constant multitasking, "mommy brain" is very real side effect of motherhood, and it strikes when we least expect it. This phenomenon turns highly intelligent women into hot frazzled messes once they bring children into this world. If you suffer from "baby brain drain," join the club — it's nailed nearly every mama I know, and like with most things in life, all we can do is laugh. I personally curse the mommy brain daily.
Curious if you've got it too? Well, you might have mommy brain if you've ever done any of the following . . .
