Vitamins?
Hi Momma's-
I recently had a baby and am looking for some good vitamins. With my first baby, I started losing my hair shortly after delivery and it wasn't until I was pregnant again that I got it back. Now that it's back, I want to keep it. Can anyone recommend some good vitamins that I can take that will help with this and getting my body healthy?
Your help is appreciated!
N.

My daughter is 5 months old now, and I am still taking prenatal vitamins. I don't have a prescription, but they have generic prenatals at Wal-Mart, which is what my doctor had me on while I was pregnant. I would recommend trying those. Hope this helps!!

You will naturally lose a lot of hair after pregnancy. When you are pregnant the high levels of progesterone in your body slow a lot of processes. When you are no longer pregnant things return to normal and you make up for nine months of no loss. I usually take Women's One a Day, but I too lost a lot of hair after each pregnancy.

Dear N.,
I would advise you to check out Shaklee vitamins. They are all natural and they give you a 100% Gaurantee on their products. So if you take them and are not satisfied they will give you your money back. I have been taking their vitamins for a couple of years. I started when I was pregnant with my second child. And she is now two. You can either get a hold of me or go to www.myshaklee.com but you have to be a member to order. If you would like to try them without being a member call me and I can order them for you.

Hi N.. Go to remedyfind.com this is a great website that gives reviews from people and informs you professionally about various vitamins, supplements or herbs. You can find the best reviewed remedies by locating "hair loss" on the extensive list they provide or just type it in under the search. You can find info on just about anything here. I have used it several times and it's helped me research the right vitamins and the best companies to buy from. Since you have kids, it also gives lots of remedies for childhood issues. By the way, FYI Whole Foods has many of the reviewed and better quality products. You will love this website.
Good Luck! Katherine

I am actually still taking my prenatal vitamins cause I am still nursing. I too lost a LOT of hair after pregnancy and in areas where I had less hair growth, went back to normal. In the past I have taking Vitamin E - it helps stimulate hair growth/nail growth. You might want to give that a try. Also Nioxin makes a shampoo to help with thinning. Good luck.

I am just now going through that hair loss stage, and my third is three months old. I also lost a lot of hair with my other two. From what I understand, hair loss is a normal side effect after pregnancy, because you are not losing your normal amount while you are pregnant. Because I am nursing, I am still taking prenatal vitamins. Maybe your doctor will renew your prescription?
Congrats on your new addition!

Before, during and after my two pregnancies I've taken Nutrilite vitamins.
They're the best, you can look at www.nutrilite.com for information.
