Since i had my baby....

Question

My skin has gone all horrible and my hair has gone minging. She did me the world of good being in there but was glad when she came out! Does anybody else have this problem? Being pregnant did my skin wonders and my hair

Answer 1

Yes same problem. My hair has started falling out aswell. Spoken with my doc and he says its hormones after having a baby and should sort itself out x

Answer 2

Answer 3

It's just the drop in hormones that naturally occurs after birth. Things should straighten out in a few months. Good luck!

Answer 4

Your  body is in such turmoil following the birth its no wonder you're all over the place!  I don't like to be the bearer of bad news but sometimes it can take up to two years for everything to return to normal.  It's hormones resettling but they do get there in the end, just hang in there and enjoy that little girl!

Answer 5

I know... i lost so much hair after i had my son, but it's starting to thicken again now (son's 7 months)

I used a post pregnancy shampoo and conditioner from Boots, they worked wonders

Answer 6

It is just hormones. I remember after my first was born I would cry everytime I was in the shower because big chunks of my hair kept coming out. Now my hair is fine and back to normal...and not any thinner than before.

Answer 7

Yes yes yes i have askes this question before and not many ppl had experienced it, its nice to know i am not the only one....i had lovely hair and skin while pregnant and even before that my hair was always nice but now, its dull and falls out alllllll the time and my skin is oily in patches and dry in others yuck........i was told it can take up to 18 months + for your body to return to normal so i have my fingers crossed....good luck:)

Answer 8

Alot of women go through that, keep taking the prenatal vitamins, They should help after a while. It takes about a year for your body chemistry to get back to where it was before the baby.  

Answer 9

i had bad acne on the back of my neck and sides of face for about 2 months (i breastfeed). my hair began shedding like a collie and still is!! all normal. it will subside once your hormones are under control!

Answer 10
