Month Five: October

Well, thanks to the archives of Web MD, it’s official.  As my stomach grows, my brain shrinks.

According to the article, a woman’s brain diminishes three to five percent during pregnancy and doesn’t return to its normal size until approximately seven months postpartum.

Intrigued by this bit of information, I promptly linked the article to my Facebook page and invited my friends to comment.  They were unanimous in their affirmation of the information, save Bonnie.

“Ellie, don’t you believe a word of it,” she wrote.  “Mine never did grow back.”
