Momnesia.
She knew what it was. More often than not, even in her real world, people also called momnesia its other name. 'Pregnancy brain'.
Also 'baby brain', or, you know, gestational cognitive impairment.
She immediately googled it and came to find out it was not an old wife's tale at all. It was real. A genuine, medically documented phenomenon in which pregnant women experienced memory lapses, brain fog, confusion, and difficulty concentrating.
The hormones, the fatigue, the massive, fundamental restructuring of the body's resources as it redirected blood flow and nutrients toward the growing baby, all of it combined to turn a perfectly functional brain into something that forgot where it had put its keys, or why it had walked into a room.
Or, in extreme cases, what had happened a month and a half ago.
Bin to the go, bingo.
