Did you encounter hair loss issue after delivery?

I never had a problem with my hair falling out. I took pre-natal vitamins during pregnancy and my doctor put me on other vitamins after delivery. Maybe that's why I didn't lose any hair? Tell your friend to ask her doctor and be sure she is eating a good diet with protein and vitamins--getting enough sunshine is important, too.

With my first child I had hair loss issues before giving birth and around three months after but it went back to normal. With my second child I had the same issue but after going back to normal I started losing hair again after he was around one year and I do get some hair back but not all. I don’t know if it has to do with childbirth or with all the stress that I am having. I am drinking so vitamins that supposedly are for hair, skin, and body so far I have not been able to drink them every day because I keep forgetting so I don’t know if they are going to work. I hope that everything will go back to normal for both of us.

Yes I did have a hair loss problem after my delivery to my first son. I went almost bald on my forehead. It was really irritating and shameful. I just can't recall when it started. That hair loss only happens on my first deliver, I didn't have the same problem with my second baby thou I experienced a little falling hair but very tolerable.

I never noticed this right after having my children but I do know that I have been losing a lot more hair through the years since having children. Remember our hair texture does change as we get older and we'll start to lose more hair. I take a multivitamin every day but I don't think that makes a difference with the hair coming out. I think eating more carbohydrates and foods with Vitamin E help.

our son is three years old already, and i heard my wife complaining of hair loss during the first month after delivery. and her mom told her to cut her hair short for the mean time, in that way it would be easy to control. if dont know if there was help but she got a hair cut during those months. my wife under went Csection and she was complaining also of loss hair for she said her eye lashes was no longer as long as she had it before the operation

I didn't have the same experience of falling hair at that time. Because I did take some vitanmin pills sometimes. I thought that's really helpful at that time. Because the baby needs a lot of milk from a mother,the mother will lose a lot of nutritions and vitamin.That's why the vitanmin pills help.

Nope. When my daughter was born she had a shag and her nails were so long they were bent around her little fingers. I Have always had thick hair and I never noticed any thinnning with the birth of or soon after her delivery. We are a family of thick haired people. I don't recall any bald men either on either side.

Hello, Kaka, I have the problem of hair falling out as well recently, but not when my baby is three months old. I think it may caused by my great pressure, or due to not having enough sleeping. It really bother me when I see my floor with hair every here and there. I cut my hair a week ago, and the problem seems stop. I think your friend may go to cut her hair, it do help.

Good luck to your friend.

I think the hair loss is due to the changes in the hormones that the mother's body encounters. I had hair loss too during and after my pregnancy. I don't really know when it finally stopped because having long hair, I still have falling hairs once in a while but not as many as when I just gave birth. Maybe your friend should consult her OB, so that she will know if her hair loss is still normal and if she should be taking vitamins or applying something on her scalp for her hair.

Hi kaka135. I am quite sensitive to issues when it comes to hair loss. To answer your question, yes, I have encountered hair loss but not due to delivery. I have not been married and no kids. The result of my hair loss was due to my negligence in following the directions of a hair dyeing solution. I know that my response maybe out of topic since it deals with moms who have experienced the same. My only difference is that I am not a mom myself. I guess in your case, it could just be a normal occurrence and it will be back to normal. I lost 90% of my hair and gained it back only after 7-8 months. It was dreadful. I have learned my lesson the hard way.
