Hey any mums in Wiltshire here

What would you say is the best hairstyle for when going into labour/early postpartum stage??

Hello mamas! I have type 3C curly hair and I’m 4 months postpartum with my second child.

I lost a lot of hair with my first child so was expecting it this time round, but I’ve found that I’m losing a lot more this time. Or perhaps, last time I had my hair in 2 canerows for around 3 weeks or so, so didn’t notice it as much, but this time I have it out and I’m washing it more frequently given the heat and to avoid it getting matted as it makes the fallout so much worse.

Does anybody have any tips for how to care for Afro / curly hair postpartum and to minimise the hair loss? I’m not trying to prevent it as such as I know it’s due to hormones but it’s feeling very scarce and wondering if I’m making it worse!

Thanks in advance

These "protests" in the UK are making me nervous. Am I alone in feeling this?

Heyy! Any West Midland Mama’s - specifically Dudley, looking to meet up and develop really meaningful relationships. I’ve moved here from London a year ago and honestly, I don’t know why it’s been so hard to build connections 🥺💕✨.
