Hair Loss

A few weeks after delivery, you may start losing large amounts of hair. The average person loses 100 hairs a day, but during pregnancy you were losing far less than that due to those raging hormones.

But don't worry -- your hair will soon return to its normal growth cycle.

What about teeth? I heard that for every baby a woman has she can expect to lose a tooth. Is that antiquated information? I have NEVER had the plaque and tartar buildup in my LIFE as I have had postpardum! Is there anything true about a change in our teeth? Thanks!
