Hi
Well Hair loss is a loss whether it is before or after pregnancy. However hair loss after pregnancy is very common, but irritating, especially to a new mother. That's why all mothers find out about after the fact! This is known as telogen effluvium and it occurs because of hormone fluctuation after childbirth. During pregnancy some hair is pushed from its resting phase into a growing phase, and after childbirth this hair then falls out causing extreme hair loss after pregnancy in some cases.
