I used to be very good at multitasking before pregnant. I never feel stressed at work. Driving alone for 7 hours wasn't an issue for the old me.
怀孕前，我自认自己很会处理好生活的大大小小，工作上的问题都不是问题，我的压力也从来不怎么压力，可以独自一个人开7小时车程的路，好多事情都不必记下来等等。
I was so full of excitement when I found out I'm pregnant. Expecting a baby is a thrilling experience but not until my baby is here. There's no other experience in life like it. Most of my friends say they become forgetful during and after pregnancy. And this really happens to me! Became less-focused on other things besides my baby, such as where the car key or my phone might be. Most moms have experienced this which is known as "baby brain/pregnancy brain".
直到怀孕后，一切真的都不再一样了。当有朋友告诉我“一孕傻三年”这回事，我才恍然大悟，不得不接受这既荒缪又似乎完全套住在我脑袋上的事实。我有想说的话，几秒后可以彻底的忘掉，怎么记也记不起来。有时计划下一秒想做些事情，怎知道我竟然走路走到一半就停下来，不知道自己到底该往哪个方向去！天啊！这是我吗？会丢三落四，会经常放空发呆！他们称这种情况为 “孕傻”。
First of all, forgetfulness is completely normal during pregnancy or postpartum and they claimed it's extremely common.
有人称产前产后健忘的确是很正常的一件事，几乎每一位准妈妈都面对着同一个问题。
It's hard to get a good night's sleep during pregnancy. You have to pee more often when you're in pregnancy just because your narrowed bladder cannot hold more urine. I used to wake up to 5 times in a night. Bad morning sickness that last for 5 months, bad cramps in the night during the last trimester of my pregnancy, breatheless while laying down with my heavy baby bump. Lack of sleep is really frustrating.
怀孕时的尿频，严重害喜状况维持了5个月，宝宝渐渐长大后又常在我肚子乐园耍功夫，肚子太重没办法平躺导致呼吸不顺畅而难以入睡，半夜小腿狂抽筋得飙泪，种种种种的因素，而导致了一个很严重的结果———>缺少睡眠。睡眠质量下降，自然而然脑袋儿也没办法正常操作啊。没办法正常运作的脑袋，怎么可能让我们这些准妈妈精灵醒目呢？哈！
Dealing with postpartum sleep deprivation isn't fun at all. Have to wake up few times during middle of the night for our little ones, calm down my crying or sometimes screaming newborn. No time to catch up on lost sleep caused me having a huge dark circles under my eyes, make me look old and tired. I've always wondered how long will it last? When can I get back my beauty sleep?
终于！宝宝呱呱落地了！开心啊兴奋啊！原来，好戏的在后头！产后自己的身体还没完全恢复，就要兼顾哺乳，哄宝宝，安抚哭闹的宝宝，日夜颠倒的日子，黑眼圈大到和太阳穴互亲，眼袋沉得和法令纹say hi。产前产后都那么大的变化，到底什么时候才恢复正常得自己啊？
The first few weeks was tough. I decided to continue my homebaking business and take care of my baby. I can still earn income and I'll be able to spend more time with the little ones! Narrowing my circle of friends made me sad at that time. Postpartum hormonal changes, hair loss, weight gained and back pain stressed me out. Why things became so challenging after baby arrived?
相信每位产后得妈妈都一样，生活上的大大小小重心全都放在宝宝上。我坚持自己继续我的烘培住家生意，想要找回平衡点。我知道自己呆在家顾宝宝不会简单，缺乏了社交生活后，有点觉得和社会脱节的状况。忙得不可开交时会忘了今天到底洗过澡了吗，甚至偶尔往我内心涌进来的挫败感，我会哭，很倦。多多少少也因为体内激素产生变化，偶尔会让我这种新手妈妈累得措手不及，到底生个宝宝是怎么会那么疲倦啊。
My darling baby is turning 2 in another 2 months time. I can now focus on my caking business. I can get enough rest everyday, start jogging and sometimes evening walk with my old baby and small baby, some sweet treats to boost my mood. Things eventually will get better! My brain is constantly working, just not in the way it used to:)
现在宝宝快2岁了，能够一晚最长睡得6到7小时了，我可以专注于我的蛋糕设计生意，偶尔可以早休息，至少有个5小时的睡眠(这算很好了)，再来我停止哺乳宝宝不再烦恼每3-4小时哺乳一次的事情。人也轻松了，压力减少了。偶尔有儿子陪我看戏听歌，偶尔跑步运动流大汗，吃多多的甜食，心情的确明显改善了许多。自然而然孕傻这回事慢慢远离了我。
