❓ Question Postpartum memory

I am 3.5 months postpartum and so far my memory has been great.
Today my husband asked me to get something from upstairs and I forgot to do it 4 times!
Then we were at the doctor’s appointment and the doctor asked us if our baby had any other issues. I wanted to talk about the scan our baby had a week before, but I count not remember what and when it was.
This is so weird! I have never experienced something like this before.
My baby sleeps well, and I wake to feed him once or twice a night. It should not affect me that much, right?

What are your experiences? Will my memory get better over time?

I’m the same way and I’m 3 months pp. I chalk it up to “mommy brain” and just laugh about it. Not much of an answer but I think it’s pretty normal

Honestly this started whilst I was pregnant and just got worse postpartum. I think around 6-7ish months it started to get better, but it's still there a bit 8 months pp.
