Thought I was getting stronger... just "it's not time to fall." 🥹

The doctor said a sentence from the day of birth... but at the time, Mame didn't think that "postpartum hair loss" would be a thing for almost every mother to see. 🤍

When Ma Mie was recovering at the hospital after giving birth, the doctor came in for a routine check before smiling and saying,

"In about a few months, I might start to lose a lot. Don't panic."

Shortly thereafter, the nurse said a similar thing.

"Many mothers are so shocked because they think they are abnormal, but it is very common."

Ma Mie just nodded and smiled.

But in my heart I thought...

"It shouldn't be us." 😅

Because during pregnancy, I almost never lost.

When washing, I don't see the hair full of pipes.

Hair comb is almost without hair on the comb.

Some days I still feel that I am thicker than before diarrhea.

Until many people say

"I'm pretty lately."

"I look better."

At that time, Ma Mie secretly thought like many people...

Probably because of eating pregnant vitamins

Or eat better food.

But when I came home, my suspicions were still pending, so I looked up the articles of dermatologists, obstetricians, and research on postpartum hair loss.

The more you read it, the more you know...

The doctor warned everything was correct.

Actually... "I'm not getting stronger."

This is what Ma Mee just found out.

Many people, including Ma Mee himself, understood that

"Pregnancy, I got stronger."

But the truth is...

The hair is not permanently stronger.

What changed was the cycle of the hair.

Usually our hair has its own life cycle.

Every day, there are about 50 to 100 hairs that fall out, and then new hair grows up instead.

But during pregnancy, your mother's body had much higher levels of estrogen.

This hormone does not make hair "magic strong."

But it keeps the hair in the growth phase longer than usual.

Imagine it easily.

Like the hair that should be time to fall out today.

Was told that

"Let me stay a little longer."

Enough to keep going like this.

The hair that was supposed to fall was still on the head.

The result is

🤍 I look thicker.

🤍. I looked better.

🤍 I look shinier.

🤍 and noticeably less hair loss.

So many people feel that

"My pregnancy was the best ever."

Which is not strange.

Because a lot of people really are like that.

Then why does it fall a lot after birth?

The answer is...

After birth, the placenta was delivered with hormonal changes.

When estrogen levels drop rapidly,

A hair that used to be "prolonged."

It started getting back into the normal cycle.

Many hairs therefore enter the rest phase at close intervals.

And then about two to four months after birth,

It began to fall out.

That's why many mothers say the same voice:

"I suddenly filled the house."

Some people saw me filling the bathroom floor.

Some people have a comb.

Some people just gently use their fingers and have their hair stuck out.

Until I couldn't startle

It's actually "slow hair loss," not "abnormal hair loss."

This sentence is the one that Ma Mie likes the most after reading the data.

Because it makes sense of everything immediately.

Hair that is falling after birth

It wasn't me who suddenly weakened that day.

But it's a lot of hair that should slowly fall out during pregnancy.

Only hormones help "delay."

When the body starts to return to normal,

Those hairs gradually fell off at close intervals.

Therefore it seems that hair loss is heavier than usual

In fact,

The body is doing what it should do.

And will everyone lose their hair too?

No need.

Some people fall a lot.

Some people just fell a little.

Some people hardly notice hair loss at all.

This difference depends on many factors, e.g.

* Each person's hair cycle

* Genetic

* Hormone levels

* Iron deficiency

* Leisure

* Stress

* Overall health after birth

So don't compare yourself to other mothers.

Each person's body is not really the same.

Ma Mie has not lost his hair yet. 😆

Just hear the doctor and the nurse warn you from the day of birth.

So I sat back and looked for information.

Once I understood the reason, I was very relieved.

Because if I actually fill the bathroom floor one day,

At least you know...

It doesn't mean we take bad care of ourselves.

Doesn't mean the body is broken.

And that doesn't mean we'll be thin forever.

But it's just one of many changes that mothers' bodies have to gradually adapt to after spending nearly ten months building one small life.

For Ma Mee...

Just knowing the cause is a lot more comfortable. 🤍
