Hair loss?

[jay1979]

Hi,

Does anyone get this? I have had it since having my daughter 19 months ago
I dont have bald patches or anything (yet ) but my hair just seems to be everywhere.

Hi Jay,

Welcome to PNI ORG UK from me too x

Yes, I did have slight hair loss around the fringe, and also it grew really very thick whilst pregnant and then after the birth seemed to fall out every time I brushed it.

Not sure, but from what I've heard, it seems to be quite common

Hi

Yes Me! Comes out in bloody chunks some times (good job I have very thick long hair!). It still happens to me and my LO is over 2. But it is a post pregnancy thing that can happen straight after birth for the first 2-3 years of LO's life. Its something to do with hormones as far as I know and very very common. And teh good news is you dont get bald patches. Not great when it comes to hoovering though and you start to feel like a malting animal! (is that just me...)

i had this two started when my daughter was about 3 months, had my hair highted and it triggered it i think. it feel out in clumps and was everywhere, i have tow patches in the fringe area where you can see i have had some hair loss (not bald patches though) She is now months and it seem to have stopped falling out so badly just hope it grows back!

Yep me too after both my first two children, not started with third one yet, each time it grew back greyer . What we do for our children.

Yes me too! my little boy was 2 in October, and its not as bad as it used to be...there used to be balls of my hair rolling across the living room floor like tumbleweeds! Lol!
So yeah i still have *some* hairloss, (maybe 10-15 strands loose...) but nothing like before, so maybe it gets better as your body recovers from having a babby xx

Hi

I had this too with my third child. I was really concerned but firstly my hairdresser said there were not patches appearing adn didn't seem worried and also someone told me that it gets thicker during pregnancy with more of it, then afterwards it starts fallign out but because there was more of it you notice the loss more.
