Something I was wondering

I'm not pregnant...and I don't plan to be for quite some time (I'm only 21 and not RESPONSIBLE haha) But I was talking to my hair dresser the other day...she was talking about pre-natal pills ...and how when your pregnant your hair grows faster.  Well, I said..."I've heard after you give birth...a little bit of your hair starts to fall out."  She said as long as you keep taking your prenatal vitamins for 6 months afterwords that that won't happen.  What do you all think about this...anyone have any experience with this?

Unfortunately prenatals vitamins aren't what make your hair grow faster while pregnent... it's the hormones.  When I was pregnent with Zach my hair grew like a weed... so I thought it was the vitamins too.  I tried different prenatals from the store and use the dosage for a pregnent woman.  No change.  Then I read somewhere that it's the hormones.  My hair didn't grow as fast this time with Emily.  I had average growth.  Both times though my hair fell out like crazy afterwards.  It's just now starting to slow down.  It started when she was 3 months old (she's 5 months already!).  Again, I believe it's hormonal.  I still take vitamins, although not the prenatals.

Hope that helps.
