What is the cause of fugue pregnancy & bitterness in the mouth of the pregnant woman?

Pregnant women often complain of difficulty concentrating and forgetfulness, not only because of lack of rest, sleep or stress, but it may also be the result of the effect of pregnancy on the brain and causing changes in it.

A new study conducted in the Netherlands revealed the existence of a relationship between the large hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy and the occurrence of changes in the brain of pregnant women, especially in areas responsible for meditation, thinking, and daydreaming.

The wandering of a pregnant woman in her thinking has always been common since ancient times, but it was difficult to study the cause and effect of this phenomenon, which is why a group of neuroscientists at the University of Leiden studied the neurological changes accompanying pregnancy.

40 pregnant women participated in this study, whose brains were scanned by magnetic resonance imaging before, during, and after childbirth for a full year, and their hormone levels were measured through a urine test that was conducted every two to four weeks, and they also answered questionnaires that examined sleep patterns, psychological stress, and the mother’s relationship with her child.

What was shown through the study is that hormonal changes during pregnancy affect the cells responsible for thinking in the brain, and may also affect the way brain cells communicate with each other.

These changes were observed mostly in areas of the brain that are activated when a person's focus shifts from the outside world to his inner thoughts, which may explain the wandering of pregnant women and the difficulty of concentrating.

This study showed a possible relationship between hormonal changes during pregnancy and changes in areas of the brain responsible for concentration, but it did not prove causation, which highlights the need for more studies with a larger number of participants to show the subtle changes that occur in the brain of a pregnant woman.
