An interesting phenomena
Did I get that singular? I forget whether it's on or a.
Anyway, I've noticed that when I'm pregnant, that part of my brain that spews creative stuff shuts off. For nine months no composition or fiction writing happens. I don't know why, I'd assume either hormones or decreased brain blood flow. Probably the later, as stuff starts spewing out again as soon as baby is born. It would be really interesting to do some brain imaging, to see if something shows up differently in how my brain functions between pregnant and non-pregnant.
Ladies, have you found any such mental oddities in pregnancy?

When I'm pregnant I cannot work math problems. It can get pretty embarrassing, too!

I can't say I noticed anything really out of the ordinary like that, other than my bad memory for things like names getting even worse.

Though I haven't experienced that particular oddity, I have noticed differences.

The singular is "phenomenon", the plural, "phenomena".
Just so you know!
