After The Baby Is Born - How To Deal With Hair Loss

By Ashley Houston


The extra hair is gradually released after the baby is born and hair loss after pregnancy is much more pronounced than it was before or during pregnancy.

This is normal, so do not worry about it. It could take up to a year for the hair to return to its normal rate of falling out, a few strands at a time.

If you notice hair loss after pregnancy, there is no need to worry. It is normal, and a result of your hormones gradually readjusting to their normal pre-pregnancy state.

Because of hormones, many parts of the body including ovulation, moods, menstruation, nails, hair, and milk production can be affected.

You will notice that during pregnancy, nails become harder. After pregnancy, there is a normal amount of hair loss which means that fingernails will also return to normal gradually to the way a woman had normally experienced them.

A whole body experience is pregnancy. After the baby is born, the mother's body has a lot of things to do in order to return to its usual non-pregnant state.

Unlike a mother who is not nursing, a mother who is nursing will have a longer period of readjustment. Still, always remember, nine and a half months up, at least the same amount of time down!

There may be hair loss after pregnancy but a woman might also notice changes in her nails. Besides hair loss after pregnancy, you may have noted other changes in your hair during pregnancy. Hormones can affect the hair as well as the whole body.

If hair was normally straight, it might start to grow in curlier than ever during pregnancy. Or, hair that was curly may get straighter and straighter as a pregnancy progresses.

It can take a year for hair to readjust to its normal thickness and straight or wavy state after the baby is born.

It can be startling to see such an increase in hair loss after pregnancy. You may find clumps of hair either in your brush or on the drain. You won't see thin patches on your head, so don't worry about that. What you are doing is simply releasing hair that was extra during pregnancy. It may even take a year before it returns to normal.

The way that it affects a woman's hair is one of the most interesting things about pregnancy. During pregnancy, the hair becomes fuller. This is because hair is not released by the follicles at the same rate as when the body is not pregnant.

So, hair loss during pregnancy is not very common, and hair will usually fall out less than when a woman is not pregnant.
