i had VERY healthy hair throughout pregnancy. shining and lush.

Four months AFTER i had my baby, then i started noticing what looked like large amounts coming out in the shower floor - i found that so depressing. i know it's silly, but it made me think about what people undergoing chemo go thru - the psychological impact of losing your "crowning glory".

i didn't know to expect it, so just thought something was wrong with me.

apparently it's a very normal physiological thing for a woman to go thru, after having a baby.

it went on for a few months.

went the regrowth came, it was noticeable to me, that i must have lost the majority of my hair from the fringe/forehead area and the nape of the neck.

we're at the two year mark now, still breastfeeding, so i really don't think the BF had anything to do with it, cos i'm not losing hair now.

i have two different lengths of hair! my actual length. and then two inches up, my hair is alot thicker, that's how long th eregrowth is.

No-one mentioned this hair loss in the pre-natal classes ! woudl have been nice to have been warned - don't think it would have been so upsetting then.
