Ground Report

Scientists have provided relief to thousands of new mums worldwide, by confirming that mumnesia or loss of memory on the arrival of a baby, is a medical condition. Mumnesia is experienced by many new mothers who usually notice small lapses of memory such as struggling with names, misplacing things or forgetting what they are looking for following the delivery of their babies. Experts note that a combination of fatigue, hormonal changes and stress can all contribute to a loss of memory. Louann Brizendine, a neuro-psychiatrist, said the condition could be blamed partially on new mothers focusing on the welfare of their baby to the exclusion of other things.
