Pregnant women would be wise not to lose sight of their handbag or mobile phone, research suggests.
Among the many odd effects that pregnancy can have, one of them appears to be increasing the risk of losing things.
Scientists found women in the later stages of pregnancy tend to suffer a loss of spatial memory -- the memory of locations and positions of objects.
The problem was apparent in the last six months of pregnancy and lasted at least three months after a woman had given birth.
Experts believe it can be traced to the effect of pregnancy hormones on the brain.
