Comments

  • Oh yeah. Mine was horrible! After I had my son, it would come out in hand fulls in the shower. Its just your hormones adjusing after you have your baby.
  • Yes mine did too after both girls were born. It eventually stopped
  • Did u 2 have epidurals?
  • My cousin didn't have an epideral and her hair fell out for a few months she said its barely getting better at about 4-5 months after giving birth she also changed her shampoo
  • Its because your body is in growth mode while your preg. So it doesn't shed like you normally would. After you have the baby those hormones go. So all that extra hair falls out. Its totally normal. Happens to every one to some degree.
  • My hair fell out so bad till my baby was six months old. My doctor said it was normal as your body is trying to go back to normal! I'm pregnant with my second baby now and.am hoping I don't loose as much this time.
  • @Boopynbeebop - Yes, I had to have an epidural. Wasn't a choice for me. But the epidural has nothing to do with it.
    Just simple annoying hormones trying to even back out.
  • I didn't have an epi n my hair still fell out it's generally just the hormones returning to normal although mine was due to extremely low iron so it's generally god to get that checked out especially if you bled alot aster the birth
  • My hair is sheding like crazy right now and I am 13 weeks pregnant... shoot if it suppose to fall out more after the baby is born I'm afraid I won't have anymore hair left 8-|
