Pregnancy can put stress on the body, the dramatic change in hormone levels can for some women disrupt the hair growth cycle in a way that causes more strands to shed rather than fewer. The shock or stress associated with pregnancy can force hair to enter the telogen phase (resting phase) too soon, meaning you could be shedding up to 400 hairs a day rather than the normal 50-100 hairs a day.
Hair loss caused by major stress to the body is a condition known as telogen effluvium. This won’t happen immediately after falling pregnant, it may take a few months before you see your hair thinning.🌟
