I know that while pregnant your hair grows faster and fuller, but what happened to you ladies after you delivered? Did it start falling out?

I also lost A LOT of hair!!! I started to get worried, and discussed it with my ob/gyn. He thought that it was also extream, and sent me for thyroid tests. Everything came back fine, and so it was determined that it was due to the change in hormones. It never came back in as thick as it was, but that is okay. I had and still have very thick hair. But let me tell you, it was really gross while it was happening! LOL

Good Luck

I have 3 kids and after my second I had alot of hair loss. I was referred to a derm and had all kinds of tests, all came back normal. I thought I was going to go bald. I had major hair loss for about 2 years and even now I still lose more than I used to before that pregnancy. I think I have just gotten used to it.
