Im in my second trimester and suddenly my hair feels thicker and growing so fast, even on other parts. Is this a normal pregnancy thing? just curious how much it actually changes.
My pregnancy app explained that high estrogen levels prevent the normal hair shedding process, making it look super thick and grow fast. I tracked my hair growth and it was definitely noticeable by the second trimester. It's a temporary glow, so make the most of it!
My hair grew like crazy and looked so thick and beautiful during pregnancy, I was loving it! But once my baby became a toddler, the postpartum hair fall started and brought me back to reality, haha. Don't worry, enjoy the gorgeous pregnancy hair phase while it lasts!
I am in my second trimester now and my hair is growing so fast, it actually looks shinier too! But I'm also getting anxious about the postpartum hair fall everyone talks about. Is anyone else enjoying their hair now but secretly terrified of the future?
Pregnancy hormones, especially estrogen, keep your hair in the growing phase longer, so it grows faster and falls out less. I had a normal delivery and my hair stayed lovely for a few months after as well. Just enjoy this nice phase and keep eating healthy.
Your hair will grow nicely due to pregnancy hormones, so don't spend money on expensive hair spas or salon treatments now. Save that money for your upcoming hospital tests and baby shopping! Just oiling your hair at home with normal coconut oil is more than enough.
Honestly, it does grow faster and feels much thicker because of hormones, but I barely had time to style it with my work schedule. If you want to maintain it, keep your hair care routine simple because postpartum hair fall will eventually happen. Focus on a balanced diet to keep your scalp healthy.
