Post partum hair loss

So this was pregnancy number 5 for me (I delivered in December). The hair loss just started a few weeks ago and it’s been so bad I have bald spots on either side of my forehead! Any recommendations to make it stop or prevent further balding?! I’ve never had it be this bad…I don’t even want to wear my hair in a ponytail right now 😭

My friend had great success with Primal Queen supplements. I plan on taking that as soon as I am PP. My midwife says it can be related to a drop in ferritin levels which would make sense why the primal queen helps.

If it's ferritin eat more iron and vitamin c in the same meal. Steak and OJ Hair loss is completely normal due to hormones. Nothing can truly be done. You'll just have to wait approx 18 months pp for hormones to regulate.

@Amanda this is my 5th pregnancy so I’m used to the post partum hair loss, but have never gotten bald spots and a receding hairline from it. This just seems excessive 😔

My first pregnancy I lost my sideburns and temples. I have 1 inch of regrowth. Feels like I have a mullet now. Totally normal lots of people experience thinning or balding
