[quote=Anonymous]I’m a few weeks away from returning to work after having my third child. I’ve been lucky to have relatively easy pregnancies and post partum recoveries. 
But one thing I struggled with after returning to work with after the birth of my other two children was “mom brain”. I was slow to comprehend new concepts, struggled to find my words when presenting or in conversation with a work colleague. I have a distinct memory of once typing words that were different from the words in my brain (I know it sounds weird). I wasn’t particularly sleep deprived and didn’t have PPD. Just was not mentally operating on all cylinders. It did eventually go away but it took a few years to return to some normal. 
How can I help avoid or better manage this? I know my life is completely different and I will never be the same person I was before my first was born….plus I still have the older two on my mind. But I’d like to minimize the struggle and feel more confident in settling back into work. [/quote]
