Hair Loss Pregnancy
- Information Page
Hair
Loss Pregnancy can cause acute anxiety with many mothers some
months after the birth of their baby.
It is reassuring
to know that this effect is experienced by numerous new mothers,
it takes its course, and usually a year after the birth the hair
returns to normal.
Hair loss pregnancy
often occurs during the period of three to six months after birth.
What causes
hair loss pregnancy?
In short, hormonal
changes in the body. Hair growth takes place in stages.
Normally, a large percentage of the hair at any
time is in the growing stage with a lesser percentage in the resting
stage. After the resting stage it falls out and new growth takes
it place.
During pregnancy, due to hormonal changes, even
more hair is in the growing stage. After the birth of a baby however,
a reversal of this ratio takes place and a large amount of that
previous luxuriant hair is now shed.
Some mothers alarmed about hair loss pregnancy,
report that the hair seems to come out by the handful. They panic
when seeing the large amount of hair around the house, on the furniture,
floor, or caught in the drain after bathing or showering.
It is important for them to realize this condition
will not last forever. Hair loss pregnancy takes its course and
eventually a fine, healthy head of hair is once again enjoyed and
appreciated.
What can be done about hair loss pregnancy while
waiting for new hair growth?

with different styles to minimize the effect of the hair loss. Also
various hair styling or mousse products can add volume to the hair
and can be tried.

Hair loss
pregnancy can also be caused in some cases by a condition called
hypothyroidism.
A low-functioning
thyroid can contribute to hair loss and a host of other
conditions.
A visit to
the doctor for a blood test for 'Thyroid Stimulating Hormone' can
reveal how the thyroid is functioning allowing the doctor to
diagnose and correct the problem.
In
short, hair loss pregnancy, while causing shock and alarm initially,
should be seen in context. It is a temporary condition that
rights itself in a relatively short time.
