Get some folic acid from the pharmacy vitamins section of the grocery store. It's a B vitamin and they are small and cost only $ 4-$5. 00 a bottle. March of Dimes recommened it for pregnant women because the developing fetus has first dibs on all your vitamins and minerals.Hair loss after pregnancy?, SELF EXPERIANCE ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE NO COPY AND PASTE ANSWERS?
I had my baby a year ago and my hair didnt fall out too much until it got longer. It is a normal thing to happen. You are taking all these vitamins and eating well and different hormones running through you and once the baby is born you lose alot of it and the hair sheds because during the pregnancy it grew in healthy and thick. IT is normal for it to shed for a few months. The body just needs to balance itself out and then it will stop
I was pretty scared too. I have a lot of hair, but I lost so much. It does stop though. I would guess that it should stop for you very soon. I stopped after about 4 months with both of my pregnancies. My youngest is 4 1/2 and there are no lasting effects from it, the hair grew back just fine.
Yes, it is common to lose hair a few months after having you baby. Have you done anything out of the ordinary - chemicals or color? Are you under stress or getting enough sleep?





With my last child my hair just came out. At first I did not pay it any attention because you are going to lose hair after having a baby. But it got so bad I basically had to cut it very short. My hair was shoulder length. Now I am nearly bald.





My suggestion to you is to look at what you are putting on your hair - has it changed from what you were originally doing? If it has not stopped, you may need to cut you hair to stop the falling out.
I was constanty clogging the tub after my son was born! My doctor says it seems like more because my hair is so long. He said not to worry unless I noticed my hair becoming thinner, not to go by how much was coming out but by how much is still there. Changing hormones cause you to lose it so it should be easy to fix with medication if there really is a problem. Mine stopped around 6 months, but I'm sure everyone is different. Good luck with the new little one!
Your hair gets thinker when you are pregnant! (hormones plus the vitamins) so after you give birth everything goes back to normally. during pregnancy you probably noticed that you did not loose as much hair as you used to. then you get used to your hair being thick and full! On average you loose about 100 hairs per day. when loosing that many hairs per day, makes your hair seem thinner but everything is normal.
some to degree of hair loss is normal during and after pregnancy, its caused by your hormones. If its alot of hair I would speak to your doctor, hair loss can be a sign of many issues stress being one of them.
Been there, done that.


I lost massive amounts of hair after my last two babies. I was terrified and my hair really thinned out. My Dr. said it was normal and to keep on taking my prenatal vitamins. Once I upped my vitamins the hair loss slowed and then my hair began to grow back.


I have really long hair and I ended up with a layer of really short hair like a halo around my head. Two years later and now the layer is about shoulder length.


I do understand the worry. I was shedding like crazy. My hair was incredibly thick and afterwards it was noticeably thinner.


Vitamins vitamins vitamins.


good luck and it will be OK.


Enjoy your baby.
well after both my son and daughter were born i had full thick hair dudring pregnanyc and until nowadays i shed tons daily...but remeber the longer the hair the longer it will take for it to go back to normal (which is my prob, i have waist lenght hair) but hormones screw your hair growth and it takes a LOOOOONG while to get back to normal...if you want to or can try a new do! something shorter, that'll stop the shedding!
i don't know see the Doctor
After I had my son I lost hair like crazy until he was 4mths old.


My dr said its was due to me not taking my prenatal vitamins (breastfeeding or not he said your supposed to take them until 6mths post partum). I started taking them again and the hairloss slowed down and then stopped all together.
I must tell you that you should immediately consult doctor.Also read this for more information

I have really long hair and started loosing it at 5 months. My daughter is 10 months and i stopped but I'm also prego again so that may have stopped it. yes you loose a lot of hair but you have to remember that since your hair is long it looks like a lot more than what it is. You won't go bald!!!
I had a baby 6 months ago and I was losing tons of hair for a few months. It stopped coming out when my baby was about 4 or 5 months old. Don't worry about it. It is perfectly normal for your hair to go through cycles, especially before, during and after pregnancy. Hormones control everything.
well dat happened to my mom...her hair is still falling out and she had her last child almost 5 years ago.
