Physical changes tend to happen during pregnancy. You will get a big belly, your calves will swell, and other things as well. 

But does being pregnant impact your brain? 

FYI, pregnancy brain is a real thing. Pregnancy-induced brain fog is true. 

Forgetting about medicines, appointments, purse, keys, even your phone number... is not just due to lack of sleep. There's a reason behind it. 

Research suggests that pregnancy really does alter a woman's brain. 

The research also indicated that the brain functions differently during pregnancy. 

The brain cell volume actually decreases during the third trimester of pregnancy. 

Importantly, the brain will be back to normal a few months after delivery.
