  • Don't think there's anything you can do but wait it out. My babe will be 6 months soon and I am still losing fistfulls a day. It's a miracle I'm not bald yet.

  • There's nothing to be done.  You just have deal with it.  Stinks, but that's how it is.  I can't remember how long the hair loss lasted after I had DS, but I still had a full head of hair when he was 2 and I got pregnant with DD; so besides the floor looking gross after brushing your hair, it isn't a big deal :)

  • Honestly, I asked my doctor and my hair stylist about this they both said that vitamins don't do a whole lot of good.  The loss is due to hormone changes, so you just have to ride it out.  My hair stylist said that some women will use Biotene (sp?) but that she doesn't know how much good it really does.

  • I have a bald spot on the crown of my head so I have to pull my hair back all the time.  I've also heard of some ladies balding around their hair line so they cannot pull their hair back.  It sucks but par for the course and normal.

    I've heard it starts to plateau at 6 months.

  • I have huge bald spots along my hairline so I started taking biotin.  It won't stop you from losing your hair, but it's supposed to help with the regrowth.  A friend of mine is taking it as well and she said her hair is growing in fast.  I just started taking it a week ago so I don't know if it's helping yet.

  • I wound up cutting my hair short to minimize hair loss. I figured pulling it back all the time and combing out the knots wasn't helping. Plus I was just tired of it, and I had enough to donate.

    Now that it's growing back, it looks weird because I have all of these short hairs in the front... I guess there is no winning. Gotta love what pregnancy does to your body. 

    ETA my hair loss lasted from about 3-6mo pp I thought it would never end!
