因此,尽管她们孕后与孕前的记忆力一样,她们也会对自己的孕后记忆力多加关注,结果就是,她们觉得自己也"孕傻"了.
Professor Larson said that women should realise that what they are feeling is all in their minds and if they believe their mind is working at full capacity, then it will.
拉尔森教授说道,女士们需要意识到她们的感觉都是自己的想法在作怪,如果她们相信自己的头脑处于满能量运行状态,那么就会如此.
He said that he hoped pregnant women would hear about his research findings and these would 'improve their quality of life, improve how they are functioning – they might start believing in themselves'.
