no

You wont lose the lenght, it tends to happen to women whose hair got really thick during pregnancy they are the ones that tend to lose some hair after birth (although the hormone changes ususally cause all women to lose some).

My hair is been growing like crazy but has not gotten any thicker so I am not too concerned about losing much after birth.

Yes i did with my first pregnancy but not with my twin pregnancy…go figure…its all hormones i guess….with my twins, my PH balance became….well, unbalanced…i couldn’t find a deodorant that worked for more than 6 hours…it sucked but got better after few months….

It’s inevitable. Your hair hasn’t actually grown more than normal. You just lose less while you’re pregnant. The average person sheds 100 hairs from their body every day. Pregnancy hormones prevent this from happening. After you give birth, your body plays catch up and makes up for all that time you didn’t lose hair.
I was losing hand fulls of hair each morning in the shower for about a month. My Dr. said I could use Rogaine for women, but it’s best to just let nature run it’s course. Eventually it evens out, and starts growing back as your hormones and body regulate again.
I have now stopped losing vast amounts of hair (my son is 10 months) and I can see more normal growth and loss of my hair.

You don’t lose your hair persay. What happens is that while you are pregnant your hair doesn’t fall out as it should and you have really thick hair as a result. Then after the baby is born your hair that didn’t fall out and was supposed to will fall out. Can’t be helped. Don’t freak though you aren’t going bald just your hair going back to normal.

yes

yes. i would run my hands through it and globs would come out. it was a bit frightening. i lost a bit of thickness not length.

Everyone is excited about the arrival of the new born and both of you are preparing for him or her. However you also noticed that after delivery, you started to notice that your hair is thinning and starting to fall off. If that is the case, you may be suffering from Telogen Effluvium.

What is Telogen Effluvium?

Telogen Effluvium refers to the increase loss of hair due to sudden change in life events e.g. severe stress or childbirth. It is usually temporary and will recover after that. However sometimes hair shedding continues until the root cause is fixed.

For a woman, it is common to experience lose some locks and curls approximately 3 months after childbirth. Why is this so? The oestrogens levels during pregnancy are higher than normal and hence you may find your locks and curls fuller ad healthier. After childbirth, the oestrogens level go back to the pre-pregnancy level and the excess shafts shed off by themselves. This is a normal process and you should not be too alarmed. Generally, this recovers after approximately 9 – 12 months after delivery. However if this still continues, there might be a real genuine problem of falling follicles.

This condition is something that can be treated. Certain doctors might prescribe some drugs such as Propecia. You may want to consult your doctor on possible side effects before taking the prescription. Other possible solutions include going to salons or doctors for transplants or to take on natural remedies.

Natural remedies usually include natural botanicals such as Nettle or Saw Palmetto which are good for curbing the condition and promoting growth. There are no general side effects since the remedies are using natural ingredients. However it is important to read the labels and ensure that the product suits your needs. A woman’s body constituent is different as from man and thus it is important to find one that is suited for woman.
