HAIR LOSS, women after birth?

two years after i have had my baby my hair is half of what it used to be before i got pregnant. I lost hair like most women do after their hormones returned to normal after having a child but nothing more has grown back. I am breast feeding so does that effect hair growth at all? I'm only 21 so this worries me a bit HAIR LOSS, women after birth?
i had heaps of extra hair during pregnancy after i gave birth the amount of hair i lost it was scary





maybe you should ask your doctor i don't know why this happens..


i've got extra hair again now with this pregnancy so i am waiting to loose it all again once the baby comes out

Oh hunny, what pregnancy will do to your hair. Before I got pregnant with my first daughter everyone would always comment on how thick and strong my hair looked then after I had her the comments faded as slowly my hair started thinning. While I was pregnant with my second daughter I thought I had turned the tide because my hair started looking thick and strong again.... well had my second daughter and my hair went back to thin... just like my mothers. (which she warned me would happen) now, I'm on my third pregnancy and my hair is gorgeous. I love curling it and showing it off but I know after I give birth slowly it will return to that thin double of my mothers... god help me. But the only thing that I would check on if I were you is have your iron levels checked. Low iron can cause hair loss and thinning hair. So, if your iron levels are fine then sorry dear it's just something us mothers deal with after having our babies. I remember after having my second daughter three years ago I asked this very question on this site. So, you aren't the only one. God bless and have a good night!
if it bothers you try taking your prenatal vitamins...if you dont have any you can go to a vitamin store to buy some or get the vitamins that is for your hair,nails,and skin....your hair is thicker and you lose less hair while pregnant but after the baby you start to lose the hair that was supposed to come out
I definately noticed hair loss and thinning hair after my second daughter was born. Is started using a thickening shampoo and it really helped. Before long my hair was back to normal. Its very common to lose hair after pregnancy. Your hormones are out of whack during and after pregnancy.
if you are on birth control, it can cause hair loss. breast feeding also causes a change in hair loss and can cause excessive shedding. Breast feeding releases hormones that change your body chemistry. Dont worry, you will eventually return to normal
Definitely ask your doctor to do a thyroid check just in case that's the problem. It also wouldn't hurt to take prenatals again. Breastfeeding shouldn't effect hair growth unless you're not giving your body proper nourishment.
A baby robs your body of so many nutrients,that if you don't eat properly,that could be part of your problem.
get your thyroid checked. Pregnancy can screw up your thyroid. Mine went into overdrive and I lost a LOT of hair.
