Hair falling out is driving me mad!!! Grrr...

[Bearsbaby]

Hi ladies,

I've looked online about hair falling out in the months following giving birth and I know that it's normal for more to fall out coz of the interruption to the natural cycle of hair growth whilst pregnant. However, I feel like I'm forever brushing hair off my shoulders and picking it off my clothes - it's driving me mad!! Apart from anything else, it's embarressing when I'm out and about. DH has also taken to clearing my back of hair wherever we are and keeps commenting about how my hair is all over the apartment. How long should I realistically expect this to last for? Is there anything I can do?

I'm going to get my hair cut shorter this week so that at least the hair strands that fall will be shorter if nothing else. My hair is very thick so I'm not going bald or anything, but that's not the point.

Thanks

I think you might get more replies in the postnatal support board or maybe baby and toddler hun.

I'm loosing my hair too It's going round the front and my fringe has reduced in width. It's really weird! I have thick hair too, so it could be worse I suppose!

I had the same thing starting about 14 weeks after my son was born. I hated it.
