One, Two, Three, Four, Five….

It’s been a few weeks now and each time I run my fingers thru my hair – I end up with lots of strands of my hair entwined in my fingers… I totally know that it’s a normal process after pregnancy. Yip, I know we’re meant to lose the hair that wouldn’t have been there in the first place! Yip, I know it’s ok…

But It’s soooooooooo scary… I wake up and see my pillow with strands of hair… I sweep the floor but within half an hour – there’s more hair… When I shower, the plug/drain is completely filled with hair… I see Chloe put her hands in her mouth – and she’s got strands of my hair!!! I blowdry or just shake my head and the floor fills with my hair! I just see my hair everywhere! So randomly everywhere! On the sofa, in Chloe’s cot, on Chloe’s clothes, on my shoulder, in the playpen, you name it, it’s probably there…! There’s just no getting away!

There was one time, I got so paranoid that I started counting the number of strands during my shower session!! 1,2,3,4…. I got to 250 and I thought – “Oh man – this is ridiculos – I gotta stop, I’m gonna stress myself out!”…. So, there and then, without finishing the count – I stopped! Now, each time I see the hair in the plug – I quick time pick it up and flush it away.. Each time I see hair on the floor, I sweep it up… Each time I feel my ‘loose hair’ “itch” me, I pick it up from where it’s causing the itch and throw it in the bin…

My frens tell me this is normal… Just hope this loss of hair business doesn’t last for too long cos I’m not sure how long I can withhold counting the strands!
