So, when Levi was around 4mo old I developed two fairly noticeable bald spots on my temple- think receding hairline or something. It wasn't that attractive but I survived. I don't know why this happened and I have only encountered a few others who have enjoyed this trial as I have. I was happy to find that my hair started to grown back a few months later and by the time Levi was about 15mo the hair was about 3in long. I had endured the weird spiky stage while the hair was only about 1/2in and stuck straight up and was happy to have these new hairs somewhat in line with the rest of my mane.
Well, baby #2, Isaac, came along just after Levi turned 15mo. I knew that there was a good chance of this happening again and so I tried to take my vitamins and do whatever it is you're supposed to do to keep your hair from falling out. The main problem is that I don't know what you're supposed to do to prevent hair loss after birth! Obviously, my hormones are on a roller coaster and during this dip all my hair (at least a lot of it) wants to fall out! And despite my blind efforts all my hair that had grown to a nice approximate 4in has fallen out again. If you know the solutions to this problem please share! If you are a victim then I'm sorry and it gets better.
Hoping that my hair returns again soon and glad I still have most of it!
I wonder if the hair loss would occur if you had a girl?
ReplyDeleteAfter Evie I too have had some horrible hair loss. It's all hormones. Anna D from MOPS had it really bad too with bald spots also. Mine is super thin, especially at the temples. Sorry you are suffering through it too. :(
