help my hair is falling out

[martini82]

my ds2 is now 4 months old and i have noticed that my hair is falling outat first it was only a little bit but now its in small clumps. i did not have this trouble with ds1. is this normal????

yes it is normal - during pregnancy, you retain hair - after pregnancy, you lose the hair that you had retained.

It will stop after 6 weeks or so, IME

yes very normal - it happened with both of ds'. The first time really freaked me out! Your hair stops shedding when your pregnant and about 4 months after you give birth it starts again and makes up for lost time, it will stop

i hope so thats if i have any hair left by then!! lol

totally normal - it is just the hair that didn't fall out for the 9 months that you were pregnant!
Have a look at this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=138&threadid=432902#8770357

thats a relief so pleased its normal i now face another issue do i have my hair done now or wait for it to stop coming out . only reason its an issue is that my bf has offered to pay for me to have it done at selfridges as a one off!

get it done, tell the hairdresser whats going and your baby is 4 months, they will give you more info if you need it and will know the best cut for you (especially at Selfridge's)

thanks quokka! as you may tell i'm not a good decision maker!!!

A trip to a good hairdresser will make you feel great, enjoy!
