…Or so I thought. Today in my mommy and me class I finally had the courage to ask the dreaded question, “Is anyone else losing their hair?” to which more than half of the mommy’s responded to immediately. It was as if I placed the television on mute and turned it off as soon as I was done asking my question.

My friend Adri told me to read a book called The Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy: Or Everything Your Doctor Won’t Tell You by Vicki Iovine when I told her I was pregnant. The book does a very good job of talking about things that no one tells you about either because they don’t remember or simply because their embarrassed. Having read the book I thought I was pretty prepared for everything that was to come, and thus far the book has done well by me until a couple weeks ago when my hair started to fall out. I know what you’re thinking (my hair falls out all the time Karla, it’s normal ) yes, it is, but post-pregnancy (not if you’re one of the lucky few) you will shed worse than a dog.

Disgusting. I know. But I wanted you to see. I rolled the hair into a ball to make it visible to the camera. This is not even a days worth of hair, this is hair loss from a 5 minute shower! I feel like a baby with the amount of baby hair I have. I even have bangs now due to all the hair that is coming in. So there, I’ve said it and now you know what to expect if you ever have a baby. I was hesitant to blog about it because I didn’t want everyone looking at my head but it would’ve been nice to know prior, it would’ve saved me a lot of stress thinking I was malnutritioned.

Have a good night 🙂
