What helped your hair grow back after pregnancy

[username49692]

Had my second child 18 months ago and my hair that I lost still hasn't grown back. I have been thinking to speak to my GP to see if I have a hormonal imbalance but feel they must be so busy at the minute I keep putting it off.

With my first it was all coming back by the time she was 12 months so I'm worried it now might not come back at all.

Has anyone got any tips/ recommendations? I have got some multi vitamins for hair/skin that I need to take more regularly. Many of them are so expensive though and I don't have the money to waste if they are just normal vitamins/don't make any difference.

Don't put off getting the blood tests, you could be deficient in something that can be easily remedied. Iron, for instance. Until you know for sure it might not be much use taking the vitamins if they're not providing what you need. You are perfectly entitled to request a blood test. I know how worrying it can be when your hair is thinning. Good luck!

Thank you. You are right I am I have been putting it off I will ring my doctors tomorrow.

It could well be thyroid imbalance so definitely off to the GP.

I did find biotin helped though and a good general multi vit.

Iron tablets and vitamin B12 injections, for me. I was severely deficient in both after DS2 was born.
