Hair Loss
Hey girls
Jack is nearly 4 months old and for the past 2 weeks my hair has been falling out by the clump load! Im starting to worry as its everywhere and jack pulls on it and gets a nice clump too which he proceds to shove in his mouth!
How long does hair loss last after giving birth? Also can i do anything about it? How do i know when its too much? I have quite thick hair so be a while before i went bald but defianlty feels thinner! Any advice gratefully recieved! xx

Basically when you are pregnant your hair stops coming out the way it would naturally which is why you have lovely thick hair in pregnancy. Then when bubs is around 3 months+ it starts to come out, so everything you built up, now falls out!
It really does feel like your going bald but I promise you you won't.:\)
Mine was coming out in bucket loads and I too remember posting on here lol.
I think mine lasted till lo was about 8months. I think it does vary though.
There isn't much you can do I'm afraid but try not to worry. Most mummy's have been through it and hopefully we all still have hair. xxx
Do not worry it does grow back and for a while you have furry patches. I can see mine growing back at my hairline quite quickly.
