I lose hair really bady after pregnancy... once I BF and once not... both times had loads of hair loss. I actually recede !!! I have 2 little bald bits, where a man normally starts to receded. It then grows back as baby hair.... It was only just starting to even out when I fell this time. Luckily I have really thick dark hair, so it's not too noticable, as long as I don't slick it back !!!

Here's what I found about hair loss after you have the baby:

http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/wha/wha_skinpreg_crs.htm

Quote:
One to five months after your baby is born, you may lose more hair from your scalp than usual. This loss of hair happens because during pregnancy more hairs go into the resting phase that is part of the normal growth and loss cycle of scalp hair. Six to twelve months after delivery your hair will become thicker again. This condition does not cause permanent hair loss or obvious bald patches.

minging is exactly the word I was looking for, to express how I feel about it

well, as Juleika has a bald patch already, I would not wonder if mummy gets one all the same! but never mind, unleast we look alike then

mine is still going on as well!

seriously, I didn't mind having pregnancy sickness or looking like a balloon, having feet like an elephant and suffering from heartburn like hell, but this hair loss really annoys me!!!

didn't expect it to go on for so long!

when will it end
