Does everyone experience postpartum hair loss?

Not every single woman gets it, but it is super common. To help your body recover faster, make sure you are getting enough protein and iron in your post-pregnancy diet. Once your doctor clears you, light yoga and exercise can also help with blood circulation.

I completely understand how terrifying it is to see chunks of hair in the drain, I used to cry every time I washed my hair after delivery. But trust me, it is just a temporary phase and it does get better. Your body has gone through so much, give it time.

Most women experience it around the 3 to 6-month mark post-delivery. Since we are super busy balancing work and baby, don't waste time on complicated hair masks. Just stick to your doctor-prescribed multivitamins and use a wide-tooth comb.

While some hair loss is normal, extreme hair fall can sometimes point to postpartum thyroiditis or severe iron deficiency anemia. I ignored my extreme hair loss and fatigue until my hemoglobin fell dangerously low. Please get a blood test done just to be safe.

Almost all my friends went through this, yaar. It actually feels like you are going bald, but it's just the hair that didn't fall during pregnancy coming out all at once. It naturally settles down in a year, so don't take stress.

This shedding is just a natural part of the motherhood journey, as the body resets itself. Stay positive, keep your mind calm with gentle meditation, and nourish yourself with wholesome meals. This phase will pass peacefully.
