What’s Up With My Hair?
You expected your body to change, you expected your moods to change, but what the heck is up with your hair? Pregnancy changes lots of things about you and one of those things might be your crowning glory.
Your hormones are in overdrive when you are pregnant, and it affects many areas of your body. Your hair is no different. In some women, hair thickens and becomes just what they always wanted it to be, full and lush. Don’t expect it to last though. Once the baby is born, your hair will change once again. Sometimes hair color is affected, getting darker or lighter.
Not only can your hair be affected, but your nails too. You may notice that your hair is growing quicker than usual as are your finger and toenails. Take a look in the mirror; you may notice your hair is not only thicker, but shinier as well.
Sometimes women experience a curling or waving of their hair. This is a bonus for women who have complained about having straight hair all their lives.
Don’t get too attached to that bouncy mane you’re sporting these days. Once the baby arrives, it is normal, common even to experience hair loss, especially noticeable around your hairline. As it grows back as you will see lots of little hairs trying to blend in with the rest of your tresses. So don’t worry too much about your hair right now, concentrate on eating healthy and providing your baby with a peaceful environment in which to nurture and grow.
