So I made it through the night sweats and am now awaiting all my hair to start falling out. But a new one after this pregnancy - bad keratosis pilaris on my arms. UGH. I ordered some special lotion on Amazon (Amlactin) that is supposed to help.
What's going on for y'all?

I ordered some special lotion on Amazon (Amlactin) that is supposed to help. What's going on for y'all? I've had this pop up as well, but I assumed it was my new body wash. I get it bad when I use Bath and Body Works soaps a lot so I didn't think anything of it other than I need to continue using more mild/unscented body washes. Two weeks PP and I'm getting some acne flare ups (not sure if it is PCOS or PP related). I just started the mini pill so I hope it helps keep it under control. I got my hair cut by about 2 inches a few weeks ago in preparation for the hair loss, last time I swear I was going bald, especially at my temples. |

At 4 months pp last time I hit the hair loss SO hard. Only 6w pp now and already dreading it.
I also FF immediately this time and think I may have skipped the linea nigra completely which is A OK with me. I have been MOTN shopping cute cut out one pieces anyway for this year.
I’m still a little puffy about two inches above my incision. Not sure if that’s just weight that still needs to come off or healing. DD1 was not a c sec so this is new territory for me. Thoughts??

Oh yes the linea Nigra. Mine showed up in 3rd tri and is still super dark. Also funny how it’s not a straight line whatsoever. 🤣

I have the line. It's weird!
I only had one or two nights of really really bad sweats, I'm anxiously waiting my hair falling out loud. I need to cut it anyway but. Ugh!

I'm 6 weeks post partum and still dealing with night sweats. It's not every night any more, but just when I think they're done I get another night of them. So ready for those to be over!

I lost a bunch last time but this time I got a few inches cut off about a month after I had B so maybe it won't be as bad since it's shorter? I can only hope. |

The actually amount of hair I lost was pretty bad but what was worse was when it was growing back. So many spots of hair sticking out everywhere. |

I had night sweats for about 6 weeks I think. I also had really low iron after birth so was on iron pills for 2 months. That made me get cold chills.
So my favorite symptom is the stretch marks that showed up after birth and my tummy area over the csection scar. I feel like that whole area went down a lot faster last time but here I am 3m pp and it's still bad. And I kind of still look pregnant. My top belly area is still kind of big but it's hard so not just flabby. I wonder if it can take this long for my organs to get back to where they should be? I really wish I had written down a lot of stuff during pregnancy and pp last time so I had something to compare to to see if it is the same this time around but well, I didn't.

How long before the Lina negra goes away? Like by memorial day? 😉
I've been having the craziest dreams. Kind of ironic since I didn't have wild dreams during this pregnancy.
Last time I skipped the hairloss. Would really like to do that again please.

I'm in the middle of the hair loss "phase". Due to my hypothyroid, i tend to always have some level of hairloss, but right now it is in what dh calls tumbleweed territory.

I didn’t realize hair loss could start months after giving birth. I thought I had missed it. Now I’m worried!

My hair started falling out I think around 4mo pp with DD1. I'm getting it cut soon so hopefully it won't seem as bad. Right now it's super long.

Mine started at 11 weeks with DS, I think. I also got some cut off in anticipation!
My best rec is to comb or brush your hair before you get in the shower.

There gets to be hair all over my bed lately lol it’s so gross.
I remember it with DS too I think..we both started losing hair around the same time and there was long Mom hairs and baby fuzz all over the house 😂 N is starting to look like her hair is thinning out too so I think the same is happening.

I lost a ton of hair last time, not excited about that.
This time around I have nausea with letdown, which I guess can happen for the first six weeks or so. It’s mild but annoying. More than once I’ve thought for a terrifying moment that I am pregnant again before remembering that’s impossible 😛

My PP hair loss started about 3 months after Ava was born and lasted several months. I was picking out palm sized clumps of hair from the shower drain after a shower (my hair was between my shoulder blades and bra line). My PCOS causes a fair amount of hair loss normally so I wasn't prepared for such a dramatic increase in volume. My regrowth is hidden well with my curly hair (lots of layers) but I'm really not looking forward to that again.

I saw a stitch on the tp when I wiped this evening plus some (not much) bright red/fresh blood.
Anyone else? I guess I will see how it feels over the next few days.

I'm 6 weeks and have a tear that's still healing, so I see fresh blood after going to the bathroom sometimes. My midwife said to give it 2 more weeks and all should be healed then...FX! |
