Hair Loss Post Birth

I am a pretty low maintenance type of gal. I do not wear too much makeup and I have only dyed my hair once. So, I was surprised that after giving birth to my son that I suffered from hair loss near the temples of my head.

I did not even notice my hair loss till I looked at a picture 4 months post labor and I saw the bald spots. Oh my, I mentioned it to my husband and as a kind man he said that he noticed it but did not want to worry me. I also realized at that time that there was so much hair on the floor.😔 I was sad but told myself if  this is what I have to suffer to have my son, I will do it again because he is everything to me.

What was I to do? I read online that the stresses of labor could cause hair loss, so I decided to accept that maybe it comes with the territory. I have a baby now and because of the toll it took on my body that I loss some hair. As to avoid further loss, I decided to brush my hair with more care and not shower with hot water...as recommended by some blogs online.

I told myself to not think too much of it and just let it be. To my surprise, two months later baby hairs were growing from the two bald spots near my hairline.  I am very happy and am grateful that I have both my son and my hair growing back. 

As a new mother, I appreciate all the parents/guardians who sacrifice for their child(ren) because it is a lot of work but well worth it.
