Did You Know Facts – Pregnancy Hair growth

Did You Know Facts #66

Here is another amazing strange fact about pregnancy related to hair growth in expecting mothers?

Higher levels of Estrogen (hormone) during pregnancy prevents hair from shedding at it’s normal rate. This results in fuller hair. Thus, it also happens to be one of the early signs of pregnancy. Gorgeous tresses stay thick and voluminous across all the trimesters of pregnancy. And  the dreaded hair loss after pregnancy! Now that’s another pregnancy fact 😉 –  One notices more hair falling out postpartum because so little was shed during pregnancy. No harm done 😉
