Struggling to Focus

Hi Mums, 13 months PP. It’s been 2 months since I have returned to work. I feel so distracted, I lack focus and feel my memory has deteriorated and this is affecting my confidence. I was not like this before maternity leave. Love to hear your story as how you managed to bounce back? Or anybody in the same boat?

I’m in the same boat. I’m 5 months postpartum and working and it’s tough! I’ve heard this can last up to 2 years 😩. What seems to help me is movement throughout the day as well as daily exercise. Sleeping enough (I know often tough with a baby). Eat and stay hydrated. And I hate to admit it but coffee in the morning helps me too

Also I write everything down!

@Angelica -Thank you for sharing your experience. I was thinking, there is something wrong with just with me

No I talked to my friend with a 3-year old and she had the same experience- she was like “it’s science not just you!”
