Epidural Side Effects?

never heard of such a thing as an OB nurse. But I am not anesthesia expert.

Truth be told, I think it's more related to your pregnancy ----your hair thickens and grows more during pregnancy and in the months after delivery, it falls out again, actually returning to more like pre-pregnancy consistency. THIS is a VERY COMMON phenomenon due to fluctuating hormone levels in the postpartum period.---Progesterone/estrogen shifts, mainly. It has nothing to do with prenatal vitamins and the use/discontinuation of them, really. Take care and congratulations to you and your family.

But it's been over a year now since I had my baby he's almost 14 months now. What made me ask was I've been noticing my hair coming out when I take my shower and think, "it's still coming out".. I went to the salon yesterday to get my hair cut and while she was shampooing it she said you know your hair is shedding. So I told her that my previous stylist said that it was normal, she said it isn't normal after all this time has gone by, it should have stopped awhile ago? what do you think

The stylist recomm. nioxin so I got on their website and they state that it is suppose to help thinning hair.

Do you have any thyroid problems? Does it run in your family? Are you diabetic? Go to your physician and have some bloodwork done. Please, try not to worry. Nip it in the bud! Leslie.
