俗話說“一孕傻三年”，意思是當女性懷孕后，準媽咪的記憶力會有衰退的跡象，常常會丟三落四，而且有研究發現當女性懷孕后的確有可能出現記憶力衰退和認知能力下降等問題，通常我們叫此為“孕傻”，英文表達是baby brain。

　　Just when a pregnant woman might need to multitask, research has confirmed that the long-suspected "baby brain" effect kicks in, as suspected, and may impair memory for up to a year after birth.

　　懷孕的女人本就需要身兼多職，而研究卻證實長久以來流傳的“孕傻”說法是真的，懷孕會造成準媽媽記憶力衰退，其影響力甚至會波及到產后一年。

　　Studies showed that up to 80 percent of women reported impaired cognitive ability, particularly increased forgetfulness. The cause is not known, and theories include hormonal changes and sleep deprivation.

　　研究顯示多達80%的女性報告說自己懷孕后認知能力下降了，特別是健忘越來越嚴重。原因尚不明了，有理論稱“孕傻”是由體內荷爾蒙變化和缺覺引起的。
