Having Babies Alters Mother's Brain

Only my Mom would watch a show that talks about how having a baby alters a mother's brain.

And there is an article on-line that started the talk on the show (see link above). I love the quote from it that says:

If you're a rat, it makes you better at finding and killing dinner quickly.

Ahhh... and I thought I only lost brain cells after having children. GRIN.

I knew that when you're pregnant your brain shrinks... I also noticed that it never really came back! It says only mothers undergo this change. I guess that's cause fathers brains are too small to undergo such things?

At least there is a scientific explanation for it. It was a huge change for me. I used to be able to remember absolutely everything. Now I go to the store for one item and come home without it if I don't have a list...
