Mommy Brain Revisited - 0. Why we need to revisit Mommy Brain
play

04/09/20 • 8 min

This episode is a brief introduction as to why I'm doing this podcast; Why we need to talk about what we know and what we don't know when it comes to brain changes during pregnancy and the postpartum period - in health and illness.

I also ask my kids, ages 6 and 8, what they think happens to our brains when we become parents. Apparently they aren't listening to me!
