What can I do to help get my brain back, so I don't feel stupid anymore?!?

I'm not a stupid person, really I am not. I did rather well in school. However I feel stupid. I heard that when you are pregnant your brain goes, However my daughter will be 5 months old next Monday and my head feels empty and I just feel dumb.

What are some good ways to help get me back on the level I was on once before. I hate feeling like there is nothing going on upstairs. I am a sponged for knowledge but it just seems to never stick anymore.

I would love to just read all the time, but unfortunatly I don't have a whole lot of free time these days.

What would you all recommend?! I don't want my Daughter growing up thinking that her mother is a moron.

I should also mention that I have horrible headaches all the time, not sure if that is related but still.

Welcome to motherhood. It is common to feel liker this with a new baby, but you can be assured your brain isn't empty, it is just full of other things like feeding nurturing etc.

You could join so online discussion groups, join some new mother clubs, or renew your membership at the library.

Sometimes after a new baby you can also feel a bit down in mood. If this is happening, a trip to the doctor may be in order. This can be a natural part of motherhood as well.

Good luck :)
