Same here ☹️ When I shower and wash my hair my hands are covered in hair that’s falling out. I knew it was coming, but I don’t like it and want it to stop!

Yup girls this is normal, it starts around the 3 month mark and I have tried every natural product and nothing works… I also have 2 bald spots in the front by my forehead, seems to be the spot were everyone looses their hair. All the beautiful hair we grew while pregnant now is catching up and falling off now 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

My ogyn told me is told me it's because you need to start postnatal vitamins. She Prescribed me them.

I’m in the same boat, I thought I escaped it but it hit me at 3 months. Every time I shower my hands are covered. I’ll have to ask my dr. About post natal prescription

It's cruel payback for the reduced hairloss during pregnancy 😭
Totally sucks. I never stopped taking my prenatals, happened with all 3 babies. Not sure if different vitamins really make a difference, but you can try!

Avatar

You stop prenatals and start postnatals it does matter between those two one contains more vitamins for your hair and skin and to heal your body naturals since you lost aloy of those vitamins as you just had a baby

Me too I’m trying a natural shampoo called native for strengthing and baby blues hair vitamins and I’m about to try this rosemary oil

I was really worried. With my first born I didn’t experience it this bad. It was only a little bit but with my 3 month old right now itssss ceazzzzyyy. I obviously don’t wash my hair everyday but it’s hair wash day the amount of hair that falls into my shower isss crazy & when I brush it more and more hair falls. My hair is long too and I had somebody told me to cut it short but I deff don’t wanna do that. I’m gonna have to ask for those vitamins because I am going through it with my hair ladies.

I am taking all the vitamins and still falls, I literally take 3 different kinda of postnatals (usually it says to take like 2 or 3 a day and so I take 3 of different brands since I didn’t know which one to choose. 🤣 I took my placenta pills, I am using oils like rosmary and haitian black castor oil, a brand called Anya, nothing helps 😬

I'm sorry this happening to you. But remember I'm no doctor but I would voice your concerns with a professional like a obgyn or primary care doctor. Sometimes it just may be stress to I'm not sure there could be many reasons your losing hair. But keep me updated

Baby blues postpartum hair vitamins are amazing. I try to do rosemary oil too but don't usually have time to wait and then wash it off etc.

These have biotin and collagen etc- mine grows really fast on them. Ob recommended and have really helped compared to my first baby https://babyblues.care/products/postpartum-hair-loss-vitamins

Same mines is falling out in clumps but I have so much hair naturally I’m not TOO worried. I don’t take my postnatal tho so maybe it’s time to start

Avatar

Have you tried this? https://amzn.to/494JIwD

I haven’t started losing hair on my head, except my hair isn’t growing as fast on my body. I’m not sure if it helps, but besides vitamins hair is made entirely of proteins. Definitely try to eat at least 20g of protein at every meal. I like to have a protein shake at night too.

no I haven’t but I will now 🫶🏼 Thank you so much 🙂

did these support your lactation too? Or at least not hinder your lactation?

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.


I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Going back to work!

Already thinking about this! Told my boss I was pregnant this week at 10 weeks, he was so happy for me. He’s recently became a first time Dad and was showing me pictures of his baby. I told him my plans about going back after 6 months and he looked at me like I was mad, am I!? I absolutely love my job and cannot imagine giving it up, I manage a team and am petrified my position won’t be there if I had a year off. My husband gets 6 months full pay so the plan would be for him to have the last 6 months off and I also made it clear to my boss that I would like to go part time. That way we can hopefully parent together 4/7 days rather than just the weekend! I am such an overthinking! 🤣 but this is what I’m struggling with the most, I’ve worked full time since I was 17 (12 years ago) and the max time I’ve had off in one go is 2 weeks when I got married. I’m sooo excited to be a Mum and we decided now was the right time, which it 100% is! But I feel so on edge about not working! I’m sure once I’m on maternity leave I won’t even think about work! Has anyone else felt the same?

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅
