How to Fix a Fried Post Pregnancy Brain

They may be cute, but these two sucked the life out of me.

For a while now I have not felt that good. I'm sure that comes as no surprise. There's the norm that you'd expect from a mother of twins:

-Fatigue
-Headaches
-Overworked
-Stressed

But there were a few things that I thought were a little out of the norm. Could pregnancy really be the only answer? I'd climb stairs and when I reached the top I'd be dizzy and feel like I was going to pass out. Bending and twisting to give the boys a bath would completely exhaust me. I was always tired even after my wonderful hubby would let me sleep in. It was like I was running on auto pilot. I couldn't even put energy and concentration into singing (I know that sounds weird, but I love to sing in the shower and when I'm alone in the car and I couldn't do it anymore).

Then one night I went out running and on my way back home something strange happened. It was like my mind got tired and just shut off all communication to my feet. I know that sounds crazy but that's really how it felt. My foot rolled a little- don't worry I didn't fall- and I suddenly realized something. Maybe during pregnancy my mind had gotten lazy.

You see normally I'm a gung-ho, endure to the end, army boot camp woman when it comes to attaining certain goals. I think it stems from being compulsive and a little stubborn. If I set a short term goal, like doing 100 sit ups before I go to bed, then I will do sit ups until I reach 100. And if I can't reach 100 I will do them until I absolutely cannot do sit ups anymore- to bad I can't apply this to long term goals.

Well during pregnancy this mind set kind of went out the window. I didn't push myself at all- except with work I worked right up till the end of February like I had planned. So I thought that maybe since my mind had gotten used to not being pushed it had grown lazy and sloppy.

Well I explained this all to my mother one morning while we were walking, and she gave me the real answer to my problem. She said that she had heard about an article that said you brain needs this oil, and pregnancy just sucks that oil right out. So she told me to start taking Omega 3 Fish Oil. I have to tell you I can't believe how much better I feel. I actually feel normal. I can walk upstairs! I can run! I can even sing again! I was truly amazed at the effect, so I had to let everyone know how wonderful Omega 3 Fish Oil is.

If you're feeling a little low it just might help. Yeah, I know, I sound a little like an infomercial. Really, though, you should try it.
