Postpartum hair loss

I had it bad at 6 months postpartum and then it started again about October time! I did suffer with hair loss when I turned 30 (good few years back) as well and it all grew back. I weren’t sure whether to consult a doctor. I’ve started taking collagen powder which ‘apparently’ helps. Also thinking is it my age I’m 39 and time of year? Do you have your hair tied up a lot? I do now I have a baby and may not wash it for 3-4days, so I think the usual amount of daily hair loss just sits in my messy bun until hair wash day which could make it seem worse?? X

@Rhiannon I do have my hair tired up pretty much all the time so maybe it's just sitting in my messy bun like you say, never thought about it like that! Just seems like it's never ending and I'm sick of my hair getting everywhere- I'm sure your the same. I actually, randomly, went to a talk at work the other day (about maternity menopause etc) and the lady said collagen supplements were a waste of time, if u were spending quite a bit on them xx

Hey, I take hair burst gummies they take couple months to work but really work so well I’ve seen drastic growth and improved hair health all my friends agree too. This time of year is shedding seasons too. Biotin is what helps hair and the gummies are excellent Xx

@Irini my hair is everywhere! My daughter constantly picks up hairs and brings them to me 😂 I’ve heard pros and cons on collagen. I got a good discount code on one so thought I’d give it a go. I’ll finish off the tub and see if I notice a difference. My skin and nails so far are looking better but not so much my hair. Maybe I’ll try the gummies next 😃 x

Weirdly I have just noticed my hair starting to come out more and feel a lot thinner again just as of this week, perhaps there's something hormonal going on this many months PP!

Bought hair skin nail vitamins today myself 😂😬

@Rhiannon haha same with my daughter!!!

Glad I'm not alone girlie's!! Might try the Gummies, before I go bald!! Xx

I had the same thing and thought it was just post partum hair loss still because everytime i brushed my hair, loads was coming out! I had tests at the Dr's just to check and my Ferritin levels were on the lower side - dr said anything below 70 causes hair loss and since I've been taking iron tablets, it's so much better!! Dr said pregnancy and birth causes low ferritin in many women. Might be worth a blood test? I also got a hair growth oil from Amazon and that's been great too x
