Hair Loss After Pregnancy
It’s bad enough that all of your clothes stopped fitting and you endured the extreme pain of labor, and now your hair has to fall out? You just had a baby coming out of you and now your hair has to fall out too. Is this a complication of the pregnancy, or is it normal? The good news is that getting balder, in this case, is a normal part of the post-pregnancy period. You actually retained more hair during your pregnancy because your hormones increased, and now you’re compensating by losing more hair as your hormone levels go back down to normal. The phenomenon of hair loss after pregnancy can be disturbing to many women. It’s just not right to see clumps of hair shedding away from our heads like fur or grass.
