Women have problems of hair loss during and after pregnancy. This is common and patches of baldness or hair fall can be seen. The main reasons for hair loss in women are vitamin and mineral deficiency and hormonal changes.





Most of the pregnant women do not lose hair. The hair is thick and the hair growth is very good at this time. Every pregnant woman loses hair after they give birth. During this stage there is a hormonal change in the body, which is the main reason for losing hair.





During pregnancy women are given vitamins and minerals, which make them, lose little hair. If you lose hair while you are pregnant then you should consult a physician. They would be able to advise on the recommended dosage of minerals and vitamins, the shampoo to be used, how to comb and the hair oils to be used during this phase.





While you are pregnant or after pregnancy if you could see spots of baldness or hair thinning then you should consult a physician and get a check up done. Hair loss during and after pregnancy could be due to several factors so a complete check up may be required depending on the amount of hair loss. A physician would be able to check and prescribe medicines.





Women who do not have healthy diets during or after pregnancy stand the risk of losing hair. Proper nutrition is very necessary for growth, healthy and shiny hair. Most of the women during pregnancy get excessive hair growth on the legs, chin, cheek, belly etc. Hair loss in women could increase after pregnancy so proper care should be taken and physician advice is recommended.

I thought I was going to go bald after I had my babies! I noticed that my hair loss did not stop until I got my first hair cut after baby. So get a sitter and go get a hair cut- you will feel better getting a small little break and your hair will stop falling out! Good luck!!!!!
i felt like i was going bald around 5 months! hes 8 months now and it has really slowed down, so just remember its normal and its all extra hair that didnt fall out during pregnancy!!!
