My hair is still falling out
I am still losing hair almost 16 months after the baby. This never happened to me before. 3 months after the baby is started falling out and has not stopped. I started taking prenatals again to see if it helps.
It is frustrating....everytime I touch my hair I have a clump in my hand.
Has this happened to anyone? What else can I take to stop this?

Re: My hair is still falling out
My hair didn't stop falling out until 6 months. It just takes time.

Re: My hair is still falling out
My hair was back to "normal" about 1.5 years post partum.
The vitamin Biotin is supposed to be very good. I've used that & the shampoo. Also make sure that you are eating healthy. I would also mention it to your doctor on your next check-up if it continues.

Re: My hair is still falling out
I would also suggest that you get your thyroid checked. This was happening to my SIL long after she gave birth and she discovered that it was from her thyroid condition.

I second this, as this happened to me and it ended up being a problem with my thyroid that I never had prior to having the baby..

Re: My hair is still falling out
Mine is falling out so much, i think I will be bald soon. I told my Dr. She said its normal, that all the hair That should have fallen out when I was pregnant, is falling out now.

I am in need of a dye job. But, I just can't see putting more crap in my hair until it stops falling ou tin clumps.

Did it stop once you took your meds? I have a thyroid condition as well. And take synthroid everyday. And have for months. Still coming out in clumps.

Re: My hair is still falling out
I went to the doc at around 4 months pp for the same thing (and it stopped after about a month, but I still have these thinner spots where it hasn't grown back) and the doctor recommended a dermatologist who specializes in hair loss. He is in Garden City -- let me know if you want his information! He is supposed to be very good.
