Hey! I'm dyslexic, and.. pregnant.
In the 12 weeks I've noticed a significant increase in my usually well suppressed dyslexic symptoms.
Was just wondering if anyone else with dyslexia has noticed similar things?
My balance has always been pretty below par, but its atrocious at the moment, as is my handwriting, which has gotten so bad i've stopped writing unless i can do a few practices first. My spelling has gone full phonetic to the point where even my spell checker isnt sure what im talking about. It's really frustrating and a tad distressing. I've lived my entire adult life with almost perfect coping mechanisms, and to have them all crash down around me... makes me feel like I'm ten again. :(

Don't worry lovely, it seems like a case of "baby brain" and dyslexia mixed together. When I was in the first trimester I couldn't even string a proper sentence together but it gets better :D hang in there!!
