She hated being tied down by plans, even to the point of refusing to make restaurant reservations. And she assumed when she did have children, her world would shrink.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=5394\">2026 Grand Prix of Long Beach: Felix Rosenqvist leads qualifying<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So it was a bit difficult for some friends to square the person they knew before with the Wheat Ridge mom who\u2019d become much more cautious, planned her day around snack times and took joy in watching caterpillars with her daughters Lula, 9, and Maisie, 7.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow bravery looks like letting my girls go a branch higher on a tree,\u201d she said. Parenting \u201creally will change you, but in the best way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emerging science suggests Freeman and other mothers who feel like they\u2019ve become different people after having children might be on to something.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers are still learning the exact changes that take place in a typical mother\u2019s brain and determining what their function might be, but clearly something big is happening, since computers can learn to distinguish the brains of women who recently became mothers from those without children, said Darby Saxbe, a professor of psychology at University of Southern California and the author of \u201cDAD BRAIN: The New Science of Fatherhood and How it Shapes Men\u2019s Lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Much remains unknown about what exactly is happening in the brain, but changes are visible in areas devoted to attention, empathy and the \u201cdefault mode network\u201d that runs when people aren\u2019t focused on any particular task, said Dr. Aviva Olsavsky, an associate professor at University of Colorado School of Medicine. The default mode change might suggest differences in identity, though science can\u2019t prove or disprove the subjective experience of feeling like a new person after becoming a parent, she said.<\/p>\n<p>The clearest finding is a reduction in gray matter in areas of the brain linked to empathy, understanding other people\u2019s perspectives and social bonds, Saxbe said. While a reduction in gray matter might sound frightening, it reflects that the brain is becoming more efficient at a particular skill, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat suggests it\u2019s helping women become more responsive and bonded,\u201d she said. \u201cAll of that practice (in the brain) is helping you develop more efficient connections.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While all the physical and hormonal changes of pregnancy likely play a role, new fathers also undergo brain changes, though theirs appear to start after the child is born, rather than during pregnancy, Saxbe said. Parents who have more noticeable brain changes tend to report a closer relationship and more positive emotions from their infants, she said. Though scientists don\u2019t know whether the brain changes cause increased interest in the baby, or if people who are motivated to spend more time with their babies develop greater brain changes through learning to care for them.<\/p>\n<p>Mothers show a consistent pattern of changes linked to the brain\u2019s emotional circuitry, while fathers\u2019 brains seem to be working on their ability to pick up and interpret cues from other people, Olsavsky said. In gay couples, the dad who is the primary caregiver had an in-between pattern, with elements typically seen in heterosexual mothers and fathers, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParenting is a skill\u201d and it makes sense that the brain changes through practice, she said.<\/p>\n<p>The idea that the brain\u2019s emotional circuitry changes after becoming a mother rang true for Carol Wilsey, of Denver, who was a self-described \u201cice queen\u201d before having her daughter Brett, 28. After the birth, she found herself crying in front of people for the first time in her adult life, and hormonal fluctuations weren\u2019t the whole story.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBecoming a parent really broke my heart open,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>It was embarrassing, and sometimes still is, but she has come to see staying in touch with her feelings as a positive overall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe joy pieces have been amplified as well. Probably anger, too,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the research has involved either cisgender heterosexual couples or gay couples, leaving significant blind spots about the experiences of adoptive mothers, lesbian couples and transgender or nonbinary people who can give birth.<\/p>\n<p>Longer-term studies in mothers found the brain has partially, but not fully, returned to its pre-pregnancy state seven years after a birth, Saxbe said. The brain also appears to change with a second child, but following a slightly different pattern, she said.<\/p>\n<p>The brain also prunes its gray matter in early childhood and adolescence, though in those cases, the volume doesn\u2019t partially rebound as it does following the postpartum period, Olsavsky said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we get into these sensitive periods of development, there are increased efficiencies,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Those changes also come with drawbacks. Saxbe\u2019s study with fathers found those with greater changes reported worse sleep and more depression, underscoring that new parents need financial and social support in those difficult first months, including paid leave.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=5393\">2026 Grand Prix of Long Beach: Acura, Lexus break through in IMSA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think of the transition to parenthood as the birth of a baby, but it\u2019s also the birth of a new set of parents,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica McGhee, of Aurora, experienced one of the most extreme brain changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter my son was born, I couldn\u2019t sleep, physically couldn\u2019t sleep,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019d sleep maybe an hour and wake up with something like a panic attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The emergency room she visited initially dismissed her symptoms as anxiety and normal postpartum sleep deprivation. They admitted her on the third or fourth visit, when she was starting to get confused and disoriented. A psychiatrist who treats postpartum patients diagnosed her with postpartum psychosis, a label that terrified her because of the stories she\u2019d heard of women who\u2019d harmed their babies.<\/p>\n<p>Her doctor prescribed lithium and at least four hours of uninterrupted sleep each night to bring the symptoms under control. Fortunately, she had family members who could help with the night shift.<\/p>\n<p>Two years later, her son Aidan is thriving and McGhee has her mental health under control, though she now has a diagnosis of bipolar disorder that she treats with lithium. Her psychiatrist estimated about half of women with postpartum psychosis ultimately develop bipolar disorder and need long-term treatment, she said.<\/p>\n<p>While her bond with Aidan hasn\u2019t suffered, McGhee struggled in the early months with the fear that she might not be able to safely care for him, even after her psychiatrist reassured her that women with appropriate treatment for postpartum psychosis aren\u2019t dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019\u2019s very destabilizing, to have your sense of self shaken,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the discussion of the postpartum period is focused on moms\u2019 vulnerability to new mental health problems, which is important to know about and points to the need to support new parents financially and socially, Olsavsky said. But, like the also challenging period of adolescence, it typically ends with a brain that has successfully mastered new skills and roles, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople experience vulnerability \u2026 but it\u2019s an incredible learning process,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Those skills sometimes cross over into mothers\u2019 other roles. Having multiple children is a crash course in bringing together stakeholders to reach consensus, said Dani Coleman, of Louisville. She has 18-year-old twins, Adi and Mae, and a 14-year-old named Vivian. As soon as they learned to voice preferences, they tended to want different things, maybe as a way of asserting their independence, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the time they\u2019re toddlers in the bathtub, one would want to splash and the other doesn\u2019t want to get splashed. So you have to figure out, OK, turn your backs, you can splash the wall,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Coleman noticed the same skills came through at work. In recent years, she has tended to be the one in the meeting who summarizes what everyone said and finds areas of common ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never was the person who would take the lead,\u201d she said. \u201cBeing a parent, you\u2019re the adult in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mothers still deal with negative perceptions about their abilities, including the idea that \u201cmommy brain\u201d makes them less intelligent or capable, Olsavsky said.<\/p>\n<p>Some poorly designed studies found declines in cognitive performance among new mothers, but didn\u2019t consider that other people who are sleep-deprived and in demanding new roles also would not do as well as on tests, she said. Performance generally returns to someone\u2019s pre-pregnancy baseline a few months after the birth, when they are getting more sleep and have a better understanding of the baby\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, whatever the science says, becoming a mom brings a profound reordering of life, said Freeman, the Wheat Ridge woman with two daughters. She formed new communities with other parents around their schools and activities, and loves the shift from searching for herself to leading her kids as they figure out who they are. And the girls\u2019 perspectives on the world can be funny, like when her younger daughter asked for \u201craw toast\u201d for breakfast instead of bread.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy thinking has changed so much from a \u2018me\u2019 mindset to a \u2018them\u2019 mindset,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s such an honor and such an adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=5392\">2026 Grand Prix of Long Beach: Rosenqvist posts best finish, Brabham wins Stadium Super Trucks race<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brain changes more during pregnancy and early parenting than any other time in adulthood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5395,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
