Long-time readers may remember this post that I wrote when Tru was about 5 months old I think. At that point I had lost a lot of hair and had some very thin patches but I think I’ve got worse patches this time.
It started falling out around 3+ months pp and I now have some pretty bad hair days going on. It’s kind of embarrassing. I’m used to having thick, healthy hair even if I do practically nothing to style it. Now? Well, it’s neither thick nor pretty.
I really hate to complain though. If this is what it takes to have a cute baby snuggling me right now then so be it. Also, it is the heat of summer right now so this could be seen as a good thing. Right? But mostly, I know it eventually stopped after Tru got older, HOWEVER, it didn’t stop completely until I was several weeks pregnant with Levi. So….hopefully it will stop soon regardless of if I get pregnant again (lol! I still realize I have zero say so in making that happen – but that’s another post for another time) or not.
Ugh! I have thin hair to begin with, so the hair loss for me was horrible! I was soooo happy when it finally started to grow back. 20 months postpartum and the wisps are finally less wispy and more like regular hair.

Yeah I remember getting all the wispy strands after mine started growing back last time. I can’t believe how much thinner my hair feels after just a month!

I can totally identify also! My hair is already “fine” (as I like to say, lol). I had bald spots after I had Josh but you couldn’t really tell unless I wore my bangs up. I think I might start saving up now and buy this hair growth product from Ulta and just start using it right after the baby comes. It’s $35. http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod12041963$3$$35.$35.http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod12041963

Oh, I know. I have to keep fishing hair out of the shower. EWWW! But it was worse last time because it was winter and with the static, the falling hair just clung to everything. 😦

Yep. That’s about where I am. Ugh.

isn’t it weird? You just start to get your pre-baby body back and then you go bald lol!!
