hair loss?
-
Totally normally but completely sucky. I don't know of any supplements that will stop it :( Do you see or know a naturopath, chiropractor or nutritionist? I would see if they have any suggestions.Autumn Beck

Yeah, I too was told post partum hair loss is normal. I lost soooo much hair after my son was born last year! I have very fine hair, and I lost so much I had to cut my hair short.Lea

Hair loss after birth is completely normal, in fact your just dropping hair you didn't loose while being pregnant. When your pregnant all the extra hormones that make your hair all shiny and thick also makes it stronger, so if you noticed you didn't loose much hair while you were pregnant... I know it looks and feels awful to see all that hair around the drain when in the shower, but eventually it will stop and it will pretty much what it was before you got pregnant. At least that has been my experience with my two pregnancies.
Good luck! -
Hair loss after birth is a huge issue for me as well so I went looking for an answer and found that I was deficient in selenium. I started taking it when I was 4 months preggo with #5. I was very sick until I started taking the selenium. I took it till baby was 5 months old then stopped. I started losing my hair so I started taking it again and my hair stopped falling out. Amazing! Most women are deficient in selenium and Magnesium. Hope this helps someone.
