Losing hair already?

Is it a little early for this? (Ds2 is 2 weeks.) I'm not losing clumps or anything, not clogging up the drain, but I've observed that I'm losing more in my brush already. If I run my fingers through my hair I can usually get out one to a couple.
I can't recall from last time if I started to lose some before the big shedding or not.
Thanks.

Re: Losing hair already?

  • I think it's one of those things where if your hair became thicker or more full during pregnancy, it will go back to normal post partum. I had the opposite issue, actually. I was constantly shedding during pg and that stopped almost immediately pp.

  • With DD my hair started to thin slowly in the beginning and then at 3 months it really started to fall out. DS is only 6 days old so I haven't noticed anything yet.
  • According to the dr oz book, you having a baby, the extra hair thing is caused by estrogen. The increase means you stop loosing hair during pregnancy not necessarily that you grow more. The drop in estrogen after birth would then cause the extra hair to fall out.

    Seems like it would depend on you hormone levels as to when you'll start loosing your hair.

  • I haven't been losing hair on my head, but my pubes have been coming out in clumps.
