Dandruff Posted: 10-01-03 10:17am
I was actually wondering if anyone here
has trouble with dandruff. Since I fell
pregnant I have had dandruff, I have tried
all the anti dandruff shampoos and
conditioners, I am taking multi vitamins,
folic acid and iron tablets. I always
make sure I have fully rinsed the shampoo
and conditioner out when washing my hair,
I have long hair nearly down to my bottom
but it is flaking on the scalp. I wear
it loose and wash it every 3 days. Does
anyone have any solutions to cure dandruff
?
Regards,

If you are pregnant there is a chances
that you are going to have dandruff...
The baby is using up you
nutrients....Thats why we take pre-natal
vitamins......So there is some for the
baby and some for you...

Vitamins Posted: 10-01-03 12:35pm
Oh, maybe I am taking the wrong kind of
vitamins then. The ones i'm taking are
normal multi vitamins. Maybe I need some
special ones for pregnancy or something
that will give me back the nutrients i'm
lacking to deal with the dandruff. Thanks
baby for replying.

Thanks, I think I will go to the chemist
and ask about that. I have never really
had a problem with dandruff where it is
getting to the point of annoying, so I
will find the prenatal vitamins and start
taking them tommorrow morning.

They will help alot! My sisters nails
were growing all kinds, her hair would
grow fast, it was a stool
softener...Everything. So im sure it will
help so much. Your doctor never put you
on them before? When are you due? I
never knew that...

Dear nikki,
i am due may 12th, I went to a new doctor
who I have never seen before, and I really
wasn't happy with her service, she wasn't
thorough enough for my liking. All she
did was take my blood pressure, she said
nothing about taking any vitamins at all,
only folic acid and iron tablets. So I
have made a new appointment with another
lady doctor who I have been to before, she
specialises in pregnancies. In the
meantime I have bought pre natal vitamins
from the chemist and started taking them,
so hopefully I will see a change in the
condition of my scalp soon, I hope.
Take care,
.::suzy::.

That is good that you changed your
doctor....You don't want to be stuck with
some you aren't comfortable with....I'm
six months and I just found a doctor that
I like.......Good luck with the vitamins

Ur Due On My Birthday!!! Posted: 10-07-03 08:08am
Hey suzy,
bless! Ur babies de on my 19th b'day!
I've red that when a woman gets pregnant,
her hair can go either way: silky and
thick or lank and greasy. Some people
find their hair gets realy brittle. I'm
sure ur doc will b able to recommend
specific nutrients but in the meantime, if
u like fish, brazil nuts etc., u should
eat them cos they're good for keeping ur
hair nice! Although, u need to be careful
what u eat and that I wont affect the
baby,
liz x
