Losing Hair at Beginning of Pregnancy and While Nursing.

my hair would come out like crazy when i'd wash or brush my hair for a few months after delivery--like the drain would clog up if i didn't clean it out every time i took a shower. my hair is full and fine now, so i wouldn't worry too much.

one person told me that you don't lose hair during pregnancy, which is why so much falls out after birth...... but that's not quite the case with you...

anyway your prenatals will help. i think gelatin strenghtens hair and nails, if you want to eat some jello :)

I lost my hair after I delivered too. Make sure that you get your iron checked that is always a good indicator to me that my iron is low when my hair starts to fall out. I breastfeed and finally after about 8 months my hair has stopped falling out. I don't know of anything that makes it stronger.

I would recommend you get your thyroid checked.

Get your Dr to do a blood test of your thyroid levels. Pregnancy and breast feeding can overstress the thyroid, and cause it to drop below normal functioning level. A symptom can be hair loss. If the thyroid is OK, try adding soy to your diet, or Omega-3 capsules.

Hi J.!, I always felt like problems with my hair during pregnancy had to do with my body being drained of nutrients for the baby. I drink MonaVie. It's packed full of nutrients and because it's a liquid, it's more readily absorbed. Several local area doctors are on board because this juice is helping people with some major health issues and they see the results. It's the fastest growing privately held company in the USA for a reason...it works. (It would be excellent for baby too) Let me know if you'd like to know more. God Bless! N. Lurry

Make sure you are getting enough protein. If you're not getting enough it will cause hair loss. I know in the early months it's hard to eat anything without becoming nauseous but you and the baby need the protein. Also be sure to take your prenatal vitamins, you don't need a prescription for them most over-the-counter prenatal's are the same as prescription just cheaper.
