Hey girl. Same here, my LO is 4 months. I am taking supplements but it will stop, just give it some time

So this is a real thing I thought it was happening to me due to the birth control I’m on.

Mine started thinning at the hair line above my forehead at 4 months PP and now I'm 5 months PP and the loss is slowing down. This stuff is kind of weird but it works to hide bald spots!! https://www.amazon.com/Toppik-Hair-Building-Fibers-Brown/dp/B00GURZQVA/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-drs-ajax1_0?cv_ct_cx=toppik+hair&dchild=1&keywords=toppik+hair&pd_rd_i=B00GURZQVA&pd_rd_r=c58e1e7a-83bc-493a-b440-e626199debe0&pd_rd_w=O0YMx&pd_rd_wg=XbJLz&pf_rd_p=77698661-85f2-422a-8da8-0abb1ca12e2c&pf_rd_r=R0EP0P2R1YEVSGR0F9SG&psc=1&qid=1601080559&sr=1-1-776e1b88-8838-403c-9ba3-fc5054845b7e

Thank you. Lastly where did you purchase them

Unfortunately there's nothing clinically proven to stop PP hair loss as it's related to natural hormone changes. Just continue to take your prenatals and take it easy on the heat styling. It will grow back. Mine started to come back about 6-8 mos PP).

Keep taking prenatal pills. Baby took alot of your hair nutrients to grow so be patient and you'll have strong hair again.

Ooof I’m in the same boat 😭

The baby blues postpartum hair loss vitamins, I got recommended them when I asked and they actually helped. Have biotin and collagen and other vitamins.

Heart murmur

Took my 4 month old to the GP yesterday for something unrelated and when checking him over they heard a heart murmur. That didn’t say too much and scheduled another GP appointment for next week. Just wondering if any other mummas babies have had one and what their journeys were/if baby just grew out of it. Thank you x

UK Mums: If you had an assigned midwife for your first pregnancy, but not your 2nd. Were you a bit disappointed?

For my first pregnancy I was blessed with having an assigned midwife that I saw every appointment. She was absolutely amazing, so I guess I was spoiled in that sense. This pregnancy, I see a different midwife every appointment and I am a bit disappointed. Before anyone jumps on my back I know it is not guaranteed to have an assigned midwife. It is just hard when each midwife answered my question differently at each appointment and it took the epilepsy clinic (was referred due to having seizures in the last) to give me the actual answer. I also keep getting told that if I have any general questions to contact MAU, but I always thought they were there for urgent matters? Anyways sorry for rambling, I am just a person that feels at ease with consistency 😭

Burnout

I have the odd day (like today) where I feel completely wiped out, without energy, physical especially, even if I had we good night sleep. I try entertaining baby as much as I normally do but it's a lot! Don't know if it's burnout or what.. will mention to gp in case I have some deficiency but again it's not everyday. Baby is only 4 months, am I too old?? And we'd like another at some point 🙈 don't know how mums of multiples do it

First time leaving the house with newborn

Has anybody managed to step outside since the baby arrived? We were considering starting super local, 10 min by car to somewhere where we can go on a pram walk or cafe. But we were wondering if this is safe, given the baby has no vaccines yet. What’s everyone doing?
