Postpartum Hairloss?

My go to hair style is just a slick back pony since I’m always going on walks with 4m baby but last week I realized I’m starting to lose hair and it is SO noticeable to me 😭 it’s like I’m balding and my hair has never been SO THIN. Please tell me this grows back! I don’t remember how it was with my first pregnancy (10 years ago) My mother in law sent me a pic she took of us and my forehead has never looked so big 🤣

Mine is going the same way 😢 I have super long hair but at my temples it’s like shocking, I saw a picture of myself and I almost cried I hadn’t noticed until then. I don’t know what to do 😭

Losing all my hair also

Estrogen and increased blood flow during pregnancy keep ur hair from falling out as much. So all the hair that would have fallen out had u not been pregnant, is now falling out. Basically ur scalp is getting rid of 9 months worth of hair loss all at once

It won’t naturally grow back to the same level of thickness as during pregnancy because ur circulation and estrogen are not normally that high. It will go back to the thickness it was before u got pregnant

@Victoria thank you for the reasoning and prognosis here it makes sense and actually makes me feel a bit better lol at least I can hope for my pre-pregnancy hair goals

@Victoria thank you😊 Good to know! As long as I get it back I’ll be happy lol my hair is naturally thick so feeling it this thin feels so alarming
