Postpartum Hair Loss

After 3 babies I am finally searching this on the internet. Three months after having a baby I never fail to start shedding! I always worry that I'm going to go bald, and feel so self-conscious about how easy it is to see my scalp. With my first baby I did ask my doctor about it - he had no ideas on it and didn't care to pursue it. He was a general practitioner, since then I have gained an appreciation for specialists.

Anyway, I found quite a few articles on the subject, this one here explained it good enough for me. Basically it has to do with hormones - doesn't everything? So I'm stuck with it for a year at most, while my hair and body try to return to its pre-pregnancy normal. In the mean time I will be pulling hairballs out of the vacuum, apologizing when the kids find hair in their dinner, and trying to make my head look less bald.

I found a couple of hair cuts that might help the situation. I really like this one -

  
I think this is really cute (minus the long pieces in front), but I probably wouldn't like to go that short. -

 

 This looks allot like the first one, except curled of course. Maybe it's a little longer. - 

This is the hair my husband wishes I had. - haha! Me too honey! Me too!
