Hair loss

Has anyone been losing a significant amount of hair after giving birth? It’s starting to concern me as it’s falling out everywhere and when I wash my hair clumps of it come out. It’s really getting me down.

My baby is 16 weeks and I'm the same 😭😭 my scalp is hurting and I never wear my hair tight nor use bobbles only scrunchies! So disheartening isn't it, I know it doesn't last long but it's horrible as irs happening!

Yes me

My hair so dry and when I brush it or put my fingers through my hair. Strings of hair falling out

Same here. My scalp is also really dry and flaky which I've never had to this extent before. 😔

Yes! But because of a few other concerns and symptoms, I ended up at the dr about them and turns out I have a very overactive thyroid - which can happen after pregnancy. I was told anything more than around 100 strands per day is abnormal and any larger clumps instead of singular strands should be checked too. Just incase anyone was really worried or gets to a point where they feel unwell in other ways, it may not just be regular postpartum hair loss Xx

Same me.. are you breastfeeding as well moms?

@Giulia yep x

Yes! It’s horrible. Plus the grip my LG gets on my hair isn’t helping matters 😵‍💫 keep checking your babies fingers and toes (and boys penis’ too apparently), I find my hair everywhere and terrified it’s going to get wrapped around her!
