It didnt really grow faster but it got really strong and thick, went from shoulder length to arm pit, but after 3 months post baby it shedded really bad for about 2 months. It took a year to recover.

I experienced rapid growth, and had some big bodacious blingin hair! I have always been fine-haired, but ever since I had my baby, my hair thickened and slightly changed texture ( and lightened up a bit too). The new texture is a looser wave but a little more coarse in the crown.

Shortly after giving birth, I had some serious issues with my temples thinning, but they filled back in ( thanks to castor oil). Pregnancy can change a few things forever, on a woman, but I like my post-baby hair a LOT better. It was the only thing I had going on for the nine months to go with my fat feet, bigger nose, and swollen face.

i dont know what's wrong my hair but i dont think it grew at all during my pregnancy, and I'm only a couple of inches from BSL!!

It's been really frustrating but i had some health issues while pg (I had my little boy 9/25/09). I think my hair was in some kind of non-growth cycle or something. Who knows!!! Maybe now my hair will "begin again" LOL.

All I can say is that I was very disappointed because I've always heard people say how fast their hair grew while pg.

On a Positive Note: I experienced no breakage and very little shedding. My hair is EXACTLY the same length as before. Weird, huh?

Mine grew super fast!

I BC'd when I was about 3 mths pregnant. And by the time I delivered, I had my hair in a puff. It was shiny, luxurious and even in the 3's (hair type)

then when my daughter was about 3 months, I had two bald spots and the temples, and it was shedding like mad. Texture also changed to the 4's for some odd reason.

seems like the general consensus is that babies give you hair growth!

Mine hasn't grown any faster but the texture has gotten courser.

I had the same experience with my girls that you had with your girls.....

I am now experiencing what you had with your son which is why I think I'm having a boy

I won't find out til I give birth in March 2010.

I didn't answer the poll because I have experienced different things with each pregnancy.

My hair became really long when I was pregnant with my son. I actually stretched during my whole pregnancy and kept my hair in braids. When I finally retouched, I had an amazingly thick head of shoulder length hair. Although, unlike most ladies, I didn't experience any post partum shedding; at least, not that I noticed.
