You lose hair after having a baby but what about after a miscarriage?

In March, I had a miscarriage ( I was only about 8 weeks along) a couple months after this my hair seemed to shed ALOT more than usual. I know after you give birth you tend to lose hair but I was only 8 wks pregnant when I miscarried, not really enough time to build up enough hormones to cause this, is it?

It probably is enough time. The estrogen that causes your hair to stay longer when pregnant is still there when you are only 8 weeks along.

When I miscarried, I dont remember a lot of shedding...but I was pregnant again about 4 months later..so my hormones might have held up thru that time.

Im sorry for your loss.

I have never heard that I'd say if you stressed over it then there is a chance you shed your hair because of that. I miscarried in May at 8.5 weeks and I didn't shed but my hair got thicker and started to get Wavy! Sad sad sad! lol So I guess it can go different ways for everyone! Good Luck!

i agree with the stress thing....continue taking your prenatals for a little bit; it's a cool fact that we shed some 100s of strands a day normally anyway....
