Post-Natal Hair Loss

Help! My hair is falling out like crazy ever since having Joseph :cry:,has anyone experience this? Any advice?

i noticed this earlier today :(
cryed when i saw my hairbrush :'(

hi alanna is 14 weeks old too and i noticed the hair lose last week, it coming out in clumps when i wash it and my baby is covered in my hair all the time, i asked the midwife yesterday and she says its fine, normal and not to worry about it.

OMG, Keira is 13 weeks old and Ive been shedding like a mad dog! Its everywhere! On the bed, in the shower drain and she's certainly not adding to it by janking my hair out everytime I pick her up!

Wow, I guess it is just that time, I have noticed mine doing the same thing. While pregnant, hair does not fall out very much, so now that we are losing those wonderful hormones, our hair is making up for lost time.

Mine has just started in the last couple of weeks as well. I'm losing TONS of it!!

Mine is falling out by the handful...scary!

I was just going to ask everyone the same thing...mine has been coming out for the last 2 weeks...just glad it is normal...xx

Same for me! I'm losing loads of hair atm but I'm happy because I use to have really thick hair and hated it! Now it's much thinner, love it !

Some hair loss is very normal... has to do with hormonal changes.

Clumps of hair however is a sign of hyperthyroidism. Get to your doc to have a T4, TSH or similar thyroid test done. I should add, thyroid issues are VERY common after pregnancy.

:hug:

good grief, I will be bald if I loose any hair afterwards !!!!! I already have very thin hair.

boots do a post pregnancy shampoo which i use, i think its brilliant, i have long thick curly hair and didnt want to lose it and so far *touch wood* I've lost none.

I would reccomend giving it a try

Wow im really glad its not just me! I keep noticing loads of hair caught up in the plug hole.. Its been like this for about 2 weeks.. im surprised i still have hair left.. not good!
