You have brought new life into the world — and now, your body is finding its balance again.
If you have noticed your hair feeling thinner during or after pregnancy, you are not alone. Postpartum hair loss is incredibly common and completely normal, though it can feel unsettling at first.
For some women, hair feels thicker and fuller throughout pregnancy, only to start shedding a few months after delivery. For others, hair thinning begins during pregnancy — especially when stress, hormonal shifts, or nutrient changes come into play.
The reassuring truth is that this type of hair loss is temporary. Your scalp and hair follicles are simply adjusting to the hormonal transitions that come with pregnancy and recovery. With the right care — and a little patience — your hair can regain its healthy strength and fullness.
We will break down why pregnancy and postpartum hair loss happen, how long it usually lasts, and what you can do to support regrowth naturally. We will also share how Nourwish can help reset your scalp and restore balance from the roots up.
Why Hair Falls During and After Pregnancy
The Hormonal Shifts at Play
Hair growth is closely tied to your hormones — particularly estrogen and progesterone, which influence how long each strand stays in its growth phase (known as the anagen phase).
During pregnancy, high estrogen levels help keep more hair in this active growth phase, often giving your hair that full, glossy look.
After childbirth, however, estrogen levels drop quickly. This sudden change triggers a larger number of hairs to enter the resting (telogen) phase and eventually shed all at once — a temporary condition known as telogen effluvium.
If you notice hair fall starting during pregnancy itself, that’s also normal. Stress, morning sickness, and nutrient depletion can all push hair follicles prematurely into the resting phase.
Other Common Triggers During and After Pregnancy
While hormones are the biggest factor, several other changes can also contribute to shedding:
- Nutrient depletion – Your body prioritizes your baby’s development, which can sometimes deplete nutrients like iron, zinc, or vitamin D that support healthy hair.
- Stress and lack of sleep – The physical and emotional stress of pregnancy or new motherhood can disrupt your hair’s natural growth rhythm.
- Scalp changes – Hormonal fluctuations can make your scalp oilier, drier, or more sensitive, affecting follicle health.
- Medical conditions – Postpartum thyroid changes or anemia can also lead to temporary hair loss.
It is best to consult with your doctors to know the exact causes, but remember: your follicles are not “damaged.” They are simply resetting — transitioning back to your body’s natural cycle.
Supporting Hair Regrowth Naturally Post Pregnancy
You cannot stop postpartum shedding completely, but you can help your scalp recover and encourage healthier regrowth.
The secret lies in your scalp health. A balanced scalp provides the ideal environment for stronger, thicker strands to grow back, and that is exactly where Nourwish comes in.
