Postpartum hair loss twice?

Nov 24, 2015

I was wondering has anyone gone through hair postpartum twice? My 1st baby I didnt shed much hair at all but with my son (2nd bby) my hair fell out like crazy, when he was 3months old my hair fell out a lot but it stopped at 7 months, he is now 1 year 2 months old, I'm 30 weeks pregnant again and I was wondering if postpartum hairloss can happen again? My hair finally grew back as you can see the bottom pic.

It can happen every pregnancy. Every pregnancy is different, too. once baby is born just make sure you have a healthy diet, continue to take vitamins (if instructed to do so BY YOUR DOCTOR), and follow a healthy routine. for hair care, keep it minimal. try to avoid heat, do loose styles like braids to keep extra strain off of hair, etc. I avoided washing my hair unless I needed to because it got gross. I did do a conditioner every time I washed it. stuff like that. :)
