Yaar my hair is falling like crazy these days, har baar I comb there's a whole bunch coming out. Im 5 months now and never had this before pregnancy. Is this normal or should I be doing something? any tips that worked for u?
I totally get why you are worried, I used to panic every time I combed my hair during those months. It feels scary, but it's mostly hormonal and completely temporary. Just eat well and maybe do a light coconut oil massage once a week to relax.
Seeing clumps of hair in the drain can be so heartbreaking, I literally cried seeing mine. But trust me, our bodies go through so much to make a baby, it's okay. Try not to stress too much and focus on your iron-rich food, this phase will pass.
Honestly, post-pregnancy hairfall is super common because of the hormone drop. Just keep your scalp clean, use a mild sulfate-free shampoo, and don't skip your prenatal vitamins. I also got a nice trim which made managing it so much easier.
When I was throwing up constantly, I couldn't even eat properly so my hair started falling like crazy. If you are struggling with morning sickness too, just focus on keeping fluids down. Once you feel better and eat properly, your hair health will slowly improve.
After my C-section, I was so busy recovering from the surgery that I completely ignored my hair, and then the shedding started. My doctor told me to stay consistent with my calcium and iron supplements even after delivery. Gently oiling my hair once a week also helped me feel relaxed.
