Absolutely: This is very common many women experience significant changes after pregnancy, including hair falling out several weeks after delivery. Don't worry, it will grow back. If you have persistent problems with brittle hair, dry skin, weight gain, depression, feeling cold all the time, weight gain, consider eval for low thyroid.
