It has long been hailed as curse of pregnant women and new mothers.<\/p>\n

But so-called ‘baby brain’ is a nothing but a myth, researchers have claimed.<\/p>\n

In fact, having a baby can actually improve a woman’s employability and performance – and new mothers are more productive than before they gave birth.<\/p>\n

This is because post-natal brains are re-wired to think more strategically and deal with stress,New Scientist reports.<\/p>\n

Specifically, it appears that having a child can improve brain function, resulting in increased emotional resilience – turning timid women into dominant forces within the workplace.<\/p>\n

Over the course of pregnancy a mother’s brain goes through incredible changes, the magazine reports.<\/p>\n

While this includes shrinking during the later months, scientists have now established that that the brain is actually bigger and more productive after a woman becomes a mother.<\/p>\n

In the first four months after childbirth, the areas in the brain that play a role in reasoning, judgement and empathy actually expand – meaning the mother becomes more emotionally resilient.<\/p>\n

On top of this, there is a reduction in the mother’s capacity for the ‘flight or fight’ response, making her stressed.<\/p>\n

This means that not only can she cope with the demands of the new baby – it is also a crucial trait in dealing with workplace stress.<\/p>\n

Research scientist Kelly Lambert told the magazine: ‘Being able to be more efficient in your decision-making, being emotionally resilient, maybe being able to engage in different strategies to solve a problem…that sounds like a wonderful executive or manager to me.’<\/p>\n
