I have small patches on my scalp since before and someone told me hormones change a lot in pregnancy so it might improve. Is there any truth in this or just gossip? anyone faced this?
Beta, pregnancy is a time of many changes and sometimes hair becomes very thick and beautiful due to god's grace. But don't expect it to cure medical hair loss permanently. You can gently massage your scalp with mild coconut oil or amla ghar pe, but don't do any heavy treatments right now.
Pregnancy hormones might make your hair look great temporarily, but spending money on expensive alopecia treatments during pregnancy is not worth it as most medications aren't safe anyway. Better to save that budget for your hospital delivery packages and routine blood tests like iron and thyroid, which actually affect hair health. Focus on practical planning first!
I am in my second trimester and actually noticed my hair fall has stopped completely, but I don't think it is a permanent cure for alopecia. Honestly, I'm just scared what will happen after delivery, will all my hair fall out at once? Has anyone else felt this anxiety about postpartum shedding?
From my experience, my hair felt amazing during pregnancy but postpartum hair fall is so real. Once you start breastfeeding, those hormones drop and the shedding can start again, so pregnancy only gives a temporary break, not a permanent cure. Just keep taking your iron and calcium vitamins, they really help!
It is completely normal to wonder about this and feel anxious about your hair and body changes. While the high hormones during pregnancy can temporarily make your hair thicker or improve alopecia, it is usually not a permanent cure. Please try not to stress too much about it, focus on your beautiful journey right now.
Pregnancy can make hair look thicker for a few months, but it doesn't really treat or cure alopecia. Just enjoy the good hair days while they last. Sending you lots of love and positive vibes.
