Hair Loss Can Occur After Pregnacy

By Peter Meier

Now you've just gained weight, can't fit your clothes anymore and experienced a whole lot of pain throughout labor. Now your hair wants to fall out? Is this something that happens to everybody, is it normal? The answer is yes, it happens to a large amount of women after pregnancy. During pregnancy your hormones increased and so you grw more hair then usual. Now it's all getting back to normal.

It bothers most women. It's not pleasant to see clumps of hair coming out in the morning. Sometimes it feels as we are going bold from all the hair we lose naturally anyway. After pregancy it gets worth and feels worth when hair leaves us by the fistful.

In our society, baldness for women is a lot worse than for men. It's more socially acceptable for men to be bald, while hair is a largely defining characteristic for most women. But societal rules aside, women might feel sickened by their hair loss, feeling as if they're degenerating from some kind of disease.

When hair loss starts to show after pregnancy, remember not to worry too much. It may feel like shedding, but it's really a natural process. Wait until your hormon balance is back in place, there is not much else you can do anyway. Start taking extra care of your hair and if the hair loss is unbearable, stop brushing yoru hair for a while or at least brush it less often. It will give you less trouble and upset.

Your hair however may not be exactly the same as before pregnancy. The change of hormone levels in your body has caused changes all over and may also have changed your hair forever. It won't be extreme, but something like your texture may be affected. Thats how or body works. It's still your body. - 30305
