Did your hair thin after you had a baby??

Question

sometimes i think i'm going bald!!

i don't know if it's normal, i heard it was.. am needing more vitamins?

Answer 1

Yes, its completely normal.  Woman lose a lot less hair when pregnant, and lose a lot more shortly after birth.  It should even out eventually.  I wouldn't worry about it unless you were noticing serious thinning at the scalp area, not just hairballs at the base of the shower.  Then you should ask a doctor about it.

Answer 2

Oh yes after my first son I only lost a little bit of hair but my second and third were right in a row and after my second I didn't have enough time to lose the hair. My daughter is 5 months old and I have clumps of hair when I brush my hair. I'm losing 2 pregnancies worth of hair.

Answer 3

Pregnancy causes some peoples hair to grow like crazy, while causing others hair to fall out. Mine...fell out something terrible. You may want to try a different vitamin, or go back on your prenatal vitamins for a while until your body chemistry goes back to normal. But yes, it is a perfectly normal condition, and it will get better over time. So, no worries! :)
