According to Australian researchers, that a woman's brain become mushy during pregnancy and motherhood is all but a myth. A study at the Australian National University in Canberra found no long-term cognitive decline in these women.

The said study suggested that pregnancy and motherhood interferes with a woman's schooling and further educational training and not with the brain function. Thus advising young women against becoming mothers too soon.

Well I don't know about the above findings. I've never been too scatterbrained my whole life than since I became pregnant and eventually a mother. The brain must have been affected somehow. Besides your priorities change. That alone can be considered - in my opinion - a shift in a woman's brain function.

What do you think ladies?
