I had my daugher in late April and my hair has been falling out in clumps! It is so thin now that I can actually see my scalp! I understand the whole hormone process, but what can I do to stop the hair loss? Are there any products out there that can stop it. My hair was definately not this thin before pregnancy =(. I dont know what to do. Any ideas from mom's who have went through the same thing?

i think they burned people like Steph alive 200 years ago….

try taking a good multi vitamin everyday, and ask your doctor about Propecia. keeping your body fit is everything, and keeping a good diet is key.

hope this helps

The postpartum period requires extra nutritional support to deal with the tremendous changes. You also need extra rest to recover and to have energy for the baby. Scalp massage treatments with soothing oils such as coconut, hemp seed or jojoba, combined with aromatic oils can keep your scalp and hair roots healthy and also help to relax you (although certain essential oils should not be used if you are nursing) The article listed below has interesting and helpful information on postpartum hair loss. It is normal to lose some hair but there are ways to minimize the loss.

I have been shedding lots of hair for 8 weeks already, I am very scared of going bald. My baby would be turning 5 month very soon.
I would realy appreciate any tips any of you all did to bare with this ugly hair mess. Oh, and also how long did it last for you.
Thanks

It is normal to go through a shedding process after giving birth. A lot of it is due to your hormones.

I would talk to your obstetrician/gynecologist to get a referral to a dermatologist if you are still concerned or any more issues arise…
