因此,盡管她們孕后與孕前的記憶力一樣,她們也會對自己的孕后記憶力多加關注,結果就是,她們覺得自己也"孕傻"了.
Professor Larson said that women should realise that what they are feeling is all in their minds and if they believe their mind is working at full capacity, then it will.
拉爾森教授說道,女士們需要意識到她們的感覺都是自己的想法在作怪,如果她們相信自己的頭腦處于滿能量運行狀態,那么就會如此.
He said that he hoped pregnant women would hear about his research findings and these would 'improve their quality of life, improve how they are functioning – they might start believing in themselves'.
他說他希望準媽媽能夠聽進去他的研究結果,這會"改善她們的生活質量,讓她們的頭腦'運轉正常'——而這一切從相信自己做起."
Among those who have spoken out about their struggle with baby brain is actress Reese Witherspoon.

In an interview the 39-year-old opened up about how she felt after the birth of her third child, Tennessee James, in 2012.
在一次采訪中,這位39歲的女演員,吐露了她在2012年生下第三個孩子（田納西·杰姆斯）后的感受.
She said at the time: 'Ever since I had the baby, I can't remember anything. Seriously, this child stole my brain. I'm losing friendships over forgetting to get back to people.
