A. What causes hair loss after pregnancy is no more a mystery. The most common reason for hair fall post-pregnancy is the fall in oestrogen levels. This causes more hair to go into resting mode and fall 4 months after delivery. This phase lasts for 6 to 8 months in new moms and is completely normal. But if the hair fall continues to persist, it may be due to anaemia or postpartum thyroiditis – pregnancy can change the levels of ferritin in the body and change your thyroid levels. Both the conditions can be treated, and a doctor must be consulted for the same.
