Hello,
I recently had a baby at 28 weeks, due to a serious kidney infection that was almost fatal. since then we’ve been doing wonderful. Though, for the last month I have been noticing excessive hair loss. I know its probably due to a serious infection or hormonal but, how long do you think it will last and could I go bald before it then? Please help me!!!!
Hair loss following pregnancy is not uncommon and can be expected to reverse in most women within a year or so. In addition, I am sure that your serious illnesses contributed to the hair loss as well. You must show patience while you are going through this waiting process. I am assuming that you did not have a hair loss problem prior to the pregnancy. If this is incorrect, then I would have to know more about your history.

my hair has always been fine,but thickened out during pregnancy.since having my little boy 5 months ago I have noticed over the past couple of months excessive hair loss. My hair seems thinner than ever. Are there treatments I could access or use to add thickness back to my hair. This is really getting me down so your comments would be helpful. Thank you very much
