Sorry for your loss.: In both ways, your irreplaceable little baby and your hair. That is a dreadful situation for any young mother to have to face. The good news is that it is normal to lose hair, even in large amounts after pregnancy has ended. The hormone progesterone in particular allows for more hair follicles to remain active. Postpartum many regress to dormant states. Don't fret, your hair will grow back.
