Supporting other Bloggers...Curly Nikki

I left this comment on CurlyNikki.com and thought I would just post it here since it is relevant to my hair experience...AND...I haven't posted in way too long! Curly Nikki mentioned her concerns about postpartum shedding (she is currently 8.5 months pregnant) and I posted to share my experience with her. More to come later...

Hi Curly Nikki! This is my first post on your page. I was inspired to respond because I had my baby 4.5 months ago and my post-preggers shedding is RIDICULOUS! Not to scare you but just to be real, it is just that serious. Starting about a month ago, I noticed a handful of hair (that is to say, hair all over my left hand after detangling and removing the shed hair), then it went to 2 handfuls, then to 3!! Talk about traumatizing! It took everything inside of me not to burst out crying then! Well just today I noticed a decrease back to 1 handful, yet as I pulled my hair back into a bun I could see where much of the hair had come from...my edges. I now look like I have a receding hairline on both sides of my hair! It sucks and I'll probably disguise it by wearing my hair out in a wash-n-go or twist out. I'm just hoping it starts to fill back in soon because it really looks empty and strange! Good luck to you throughout the rest of your pregnancy, delivery and postpartum bliss! The baby is worth EVERY bit of anything you may have to go through! It's only temporary!
