Losing your hair after pregnancy.....


Hiya,

With both of my last pregnancies, in the weeks after the birth, I lost loads of hair. Now, my hair is really thick so it wasn't that noticable, but along the front of the hairline, I lost alot, and actually had little baldy patches, like my hair had receded... Then it grows back as really fine baby hair. To be honest, it's only really gotten back to normal in the last few months ... I don't know if you can see in my avatar pics how frizzy the hairline looks......

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same, and is dreading it happening again... which I really am

Is there anything to take or use that will stop it happening, or lessen it??

What I have read on this is that when pregnant you dont lose hair like you normally do therefore hair becomes thicker and then when baby is born you lose 9 months of hair in one go.....I have really thick hair so I have never noticed any difference but your hair looks great to me!!

Apparently it only seems like you're losing so much because hair grows faster during pregnancy and it falls out less.. I think thats right anyway?

I can't even notice it in your photo, but I can understand why it would bother you. Sorry, not sure what to suggest but I agree with leeanne, you look very pretty anyway and it will return after a while im sure.
