My sister, who just had a baby, always complained about 'pregnancy brain' during her third trimester. I'm pregnant now and I feel a bit forgetful already, just in my first few weeks. Does this 'pregnancy brain' really start so early, doc?

My wife felt super forgetful around the 8th week, which made managing her diabetic meal timings quite tricky. We had to set phone alarms for her snacks and glucose tests to stay safe.

I completely ignored my extreme brain fog and fatigue in the first trimester, thinking it was just work stress, but it was actually low iron. Please get your routine blood profiles checked by a doctor early on.

My mother said that mental fatigue starts in the first trimester itself due to all the energy the body uses. Still, our doctor reassured us it's just hormone changes and advised taking proper rest.

Oh, forgetting keys and names can start as early as the first 2-3 months. Just start writing down your grocery lists and doctor appointments on a notepad, it helps immensely.

Honestly, don't stress too much if you find yourself walking into a room and forgetting why you went there. It can kick in around week 8 because of the hormone surge, it's totally normal!
