Is something wrong with me? Difficulty finding words, slurred speech, etc?
More recently I've been having trouble speaking. My mouth just doesn't seem to work sometimes. My words get slurred or mixed up, like dyslexia. I can't find words as I'm talking and I forget things all the time now, including names of people I see very often or even birthdays (my kids', hubby's, my OWN, family's, etc) I'm extra clumsy and feel braindead sometimes, like not wanting to do anything or think too hard on anything. What can this possibly be? I'll probably go to the doc eventually, so please don't just say, "go to the doctor." I'm trying to get a vague idea of what can possibly cause any of this.
I'm not on any meds. I've never had alcohol. I've never smoked anything. I did have a baby two months ago but this seems to have been going on before I had him.

I read your question to my sister because she just had her second child. She said that it sounds like "baby brain." She said she got symptoms a lot like the ones you are describing with both of her babies and it started in her pregnancies, not just after they were born. She said that you start to feel kind of useless because you forget things so easily and the hormone changes going on can contribute to a an overall depressed feeling. She said she definately was more clumsy and even started to say that she has "the dropsies" because she would drop stuff so much. I even notice the clumsiness. She has heard other moms talk about baby brain and has read about it too, so she didn't make it up. That's not to say that's definately what you have. I'd still see a doctor just to be safe and rule out bigger scarier things! But don't beat yourself up- it gets easier!

Don't go to the doctor "eventually". Call your doctor on Monday.
You don't get a spare brain.
