My hair is falling out handfulls every day, I already have post natal depression, I am so scared?



It makes me so scared, its not just a little bit, it is handfuls(at least 10) a day I have always looked after my appearance now I just feel so ugly and with the post-natal depression, I dont feel anyone understands. My husband does not make me feel much better as he is always telling me I am am a bad mother and bringing up anything he has done that day, e.g dishes or cleaning kitchen. Our house is always spotless but he makes me feel so low and I HAVE to do something about my hair or I wont be here any more, a fat ugly mess.

this may not be good honey. In fact u may have cancer or breast cancer and if u are a guy then u can still get breast cancer i would see a doctor right a way before its too late
bloody hell you haven't got a good husband things are just going to get worse go back to your parents they understand
I think you should see a doctor, and maybe stay away from your husband awhile, hes making you feel bad which is wrong you did nothing wrong just remember that! Maybe get counceling with your husband but do make sure you do get to the doctor soon it could be serious
Check with the doctor that your medication isn't causing this, since it sounds like a reaction to something you're taking. Go and see the doctor urgently, this will solve the problem.
It is not uncommon to lose some hair after giving birth. Don't panic yet, okay?

You need to see your doctor with regard to both the hair loss and the post-natal depression. The latter, especially, can be a very tough issue to cope with and nobody, except those going through it, have gone through it or a health professional is going to really understand. Even the most supportive husband in the world, with the best intentions, doesn't really know. Please seek help, for all your sakes. Good luck.
You poor thing,I sympathise with you.
Hair loss can be brought on by stress and you are having your fair share of that with post natal depression.
You should go to your Doctor and make him listen to you or you will make yourself worse and your insensitive husband should go with you.Surely he must see a change in you and being negative towards you isn't going to help at all,go to the Doctor as soon as possible and get help.Good Luck.
Firstly your hair loss is called alopecia. There is good news and bad news. The bad news is there is nothing you can do to stop it. The good news is it is a hormonal imbalance brought on by delivery. In nearly all cases it will stop in a couple of months, all your hair will grow back and you will never have to worry about it again.

On the other point what you have on your hands with your husband is a bit of a git. If its so easy looking after baby then tell him you need a day off to go shopping or something. Make sure there is a sink full of dishes and and some polishing to do when you leave. When they are absolutely still there when you get back - don't get mad - just let him tell you know how hard it is looking after a baby.

Congratulations on your new arrival!
