I am going bald. I swear it. I had heard that a woman loses quite a bit of hair after giving birth, but this is ridiculous. We find it EV-ER-Y-WHERE. A continued loss of abundance from the birthing body. I find it in matted balls in our clean laundry, which, oddly enough, makes it feel less clean. I find it stuck in between Jude's fat rolls. I find it inside my socks tickling my toes. I find it itching my back at random points in the day. I find it in our sheets. I find it on the floor. I find it in M's hair. I find it stuck in MY fat rolls. I have to stay ever-vigilant to prevent it from being in our food (and I promise, I'm a regular eagle-eyes!). For the love. And don't even start me on what comes out of my head when I shower or comb my hair. Handfuls, my friends, handfuls. And it's bringing back my high school paranoia that I would be a bald woman by sweet 16. I remember wondering if they made Rogaine (sp?) for teenage girls. Then I read that one generally loses about 100 strands per day. After doing some calculating on the wall of the shower, I figured I was not in too grave of danger. My new post-birth trends put my fearful high school heart to shame. To SHAME!
So, I am now re-investigating Rogaine for postpartum women. And wigs. And implants.
If I look like Gollum creepily cradling a gnarly ball of lost hair ("my precious") next time you see me, just smile and tell me my hair looks luscious.

I understand completely! I lost TONS of hair after Annika was born. And it wasn't just me that noticed it -- my hairdresser, my family, random people -- were all aware of that my already thin hair was getting much thinner. It eventually grew back, but when it did it stuck straight up in the air and looked like I had cut a chunk out of my hair with scissors. Now it is finally normal again, just in time to start the cycle over. I hope it is not twice as bad with twins or I really will need a wig!
That does sound distressing...but the mental image of you as Gollum is really making me laugh.
Ditto Annie, Ha-Ha! By the way Em, your hair looks luscious;o)
Oh, I hear you! It seems to go on forever too! I guess once your husband isn't afraid you are going bald too means you have gotten back to normal. I haven't seen you yet, BUT I've always thought you have beautiful hair.
Ugh. I hated that. But you would be one of the few women that would still be beautiful bald. Seriously, though, it will grow back. And stick up straight just like Erica said. So fun!
my hair dresser friend warned me about hair loss and then said with the most serious face "you will lose your hair" - she never specified the amounts and it's been freaking me out since. she said it goes back to normal, but as a friend i'm just letting you know that they do make rogaine for women and i will by you a bottle if you'll return the favor in about 6 months.
in the mean time, have you thought about collecting it all and seeing if you could create a guiness record worthy hairball? i'm just saying, that might help pay for the rogaine. :)
love, your ever supportive friend who likes you with hair
