That's a great point - that sometimes mommy brain can be the result of some underlying condition. I've also heard that candida can overgrow during pregnancy, probably because of the increased blood sugar levels as well as the extra estrogen. Hypothyroidism is another common one that happens postpartum and can lead to a foggy feeling. So glad you found what was causing your symptoms and took charge of your health!

It got worse with my second. Along with many other symptoms that something wasn't right I happened upon the realization that I had a severe overgrowth of Candida. I've seen some reports say that one of the triggers of an overgrowth can be pregnancy...whether that is true I don't know, but I do know that a serious of issues led to my overgrowth. When I killed it off I had no more mommy brain ... or any of the other symptoms I had experienced. It had gotten so bad that I would end up turning into the wrong store parking lot, would forget what someone had just told me, and I just always felt like I was living in a fog. NO FUN!
