Hairloss after birth

[p_c_]

My sis have the hair loss problem since she was 5 months after giving birth until now (her baby already 14months). Is seem getting a little bit better when she have cut her hair short. Hope everyone can get back to normal a.s.a.p.

dont worry.my wife has the same problem as you, while i read that others might not experience it at all. It all depend on your hormone i guess. Just like some experiencing morning sickness when they are preg, while some do not have such problem at all and pregnancy is like a breeze to them.

Mine started after i stopped breastfeeding and my son was about 4 months old... you know i read a lot about pregnancy and after birth but seeing my hair all over the bathroom everytime i take a bath, wipe my hair dry, comb my hair and even when i wake up i see traces of hair in the bed... i thought for a while that i have some kind of illness but my OB told me its quitte natural though not everyone who gave birth encounterd it...  i could not link it to insuffecient iron because when i was pregnant and even until i nurse my baby im still taking the supplement and vitamins with iron content...   

now my son is 14months and im still experiencing hairloss though it was a bit lesser than before....

I've always had thin hair, but when I was pregnant it was beautiful. It all fell out at about 4 months after birth. Some cute little baby hairs grew back around my hairline a few months later, but I'm still losing quite a bit. It's hard to remember pre-baby, but I think I'm losing more than I used to. I sure hope I don't have the same experience as some of you when I stop breast-feeding - I'll have to start wearing a hat year round!

i had experienced this one as well. alot of my hair has fallen down and dandruff as well which was really annoying and scary, i changed shampoos several times, cut my hair, my hair was flowing when i was pregnant but as soon as i delivered Issam, it felt like it just lost its life and vibrant.

i think the best thing to do is have the hair cut or trimed and hot oil treatment in the saloon. after doing this, the hair fall was lesser compared to before i had my hair cut.

This I guess happens to some while for others it is during pregnancy.
Its is good to beware of the food intake and try to use a multivitamin, but yeah I dont think it totally get cured until 3month after giving birth.

Your locks may look more full and lustrous than ever during pregnancy. It's not that you're growing more hair, but thanks to hormonal changes, the hair that you'd normally shed is sticking around longer than usual. Enjoy the fullness while you can — the extra hair will fall out after you give birth.

I came across an article about hair, skin and nail changes during and after pregnancy http://www.kidsource.com/pregnancy/preg.skin.html

Here's what it says about hair loss:

Telogen effluvium is the excess shedding of hair that usually occurs one to five months following pregnancy. During pregnancy, an increased percentage of scalp hairs go into the resting phase that is part of the normal growth-loss cycle of scalp hair. After pregnancy, these hairs begin to fall out and thin. However, this condition does not cause permanent hair loss or obvious bald patches. Telogen effluvium resolves slowly beginning six to 12 weeks postpartum. There is no medical treatment available.
