Just want to know how many have experience hairloss after you have given birth. How long does it last and what do you do about it. I have started shedding hair, accompanied with dandruff after 3 months of giving birth.  Sad

Hi! 
I remember reading about this.  I thought I was losing a lot of hair after birth, too.  The book said that we usually shed gradually, but when we are pregnant, we stop shedding as much.  But, once we give birth, our bodies begin to shed (and some times make up for the not shedding), so it seems like we lose a lot of hair.  When our hormones go back to normal, our shedding should become less noticable.   Dandruff is related, in that your body is adjusting.  Dandruff shampoo, or going no-poo may help.  (No-poo is when you "wash" your hair with 1 Tbls baking soda mixed in 1 cup water, then rinse, then "condition" your hair with 1 Tbls apple cider vinegar mixed with 1 cup water, then rinse.  I found out about this one because my husband was having problems with sores on his head.)

There may be other medical reasons for losing hair beyond that, especially if you think you have less hair than you had before pregnancy.  Perhaps you can ask your doctor if you go back in for a visit.

It is quite common. As THen said, it is because of the hormone changes from pregnancy. You lose less hair during pregnancy, so as your hormones go back to normal, you lose the extra hair. It will eventually go back to normal, although it takes different amounts of time for everyone.

thanks people for voting. There so few votes on this subject. Made me felt as if i am the only one who have this problem. I am just freak out to see the amount of hair on the bed, floor, toilet, clothing, in fact everywhere...especially during shower timer when i wash my hair, amount of hair dropped can turn into a rope! Feel so bald blush

HIYA.. i started losing my hair 4 months after having my son, i used to have very very thick hair, it is now alot thinner, I also lost alot on my temples, to the point where i had to part my hair differently as it was quite obvious. My son is now 6 months, and my hair has started to re-grow, it is about 1cm long in all the places that i lost it.
I found losing my hair very hard to deal with and did visit a doctor - who said it was due to giving birth to my son. Apparently if you have low iron, this doesnt help the situation.
I am taking iron supplements, as well as a multi vitamin & a hair and nails supplement.

So if you are stressing about your hair, it does get better... visiting my doctor put my mind at ease and make me feel alot better.

This also happened to me especially after I finished nursing.  Vitamins help and I cut my hair to lessen the weight and strengthen it.  Good Luck!

i have heard of hair loss before after preg and thought it will go away sometime, but after a few months, i am still not getting better..after all these while i somehow thought it will go away eventually..i should have gone to see a doc long time..thanks jennaleeyoung, i was very low in iron when i am preg..maybe that explain my hairloss due to lack of vital vitamines.....

I lost loads and loads after each baby - to the point where my husband jokes that we can't have another because he can't stand all the hair all over the place! It took ages to lose it all, too - maybe 3-6 months? I don't really remember.

It does grow back though - don't worry. I got one lot of regrowth about 6-9 months after the last baby, and now that she is nearly 2 I seem to be getting another lot (which is nice, because I was worried that my hair was going to be permanently thinner - there's only 2 years between my two, so at this point last time, I was about to have another!).

Hope all goes well!

I started loosing my hair around three months. THen is right, you're really just losing the hair that was supposed to fall out while pregnate. My mom is a Beautician and she told me blush

I recently got my hair cut and it has really helped with the SHEDDING! Also, my hair is a lot healthier looking because the trim really cut out the dead hair that I had not lost yet. yes

AI felt like a cat coughing up fur balls.  There was so much hair coming out, especially when brushing or while in the shower.  I haven't done anything different as I read that it is just part of the pregnancy thing.  My shedding is just about back to normal, but it has taken about 4-5 months.
