A member asked:
My hair is dropping out rapidly after child birth. is there a risk of getting bald?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: That is called a "telogen effluvium", and it's very common after delivering a baby. (interestingly, the baby's hair will often thin temporarily too!) it will take awhile, but your hair will grow back. No worries.
