Confession Time

I Hate Hair. I'm okay with hair that is attached to the body but as soon as it is loose...it totally wigs me out. I am freakishly grossed out by it. This goes back to childhood. I loved taking baths but once hair was loose in the tub I would freak. We kept a strainer by the tub that I could use every few minutes to clean the water. I haven't gotten any better with age. I can't clean out hair brushes. I would rather take sharp sticks to the eyes. So...either I buy a new hairbrush every few weeks, or my poor mother, who is aware of my issue, cleans them out when she is here.

So why do I let you in on my super weird phobia...post partem hair loss. There is no scarier term to me. I loathe this phase. It is beyond gross and I feel like I am constantly on the verge. Why with all the things pregnancy does to us, does it also follow up with massive hair loss about 3 to 4 months post partem. What purpose does that serve?

I am always 'feeling' hair on me; I am constantly picking it off my clothes, the baby, anything around me; my bed, specifically my pillow is covered. ICK!

Hopefully there are others who can sympathize with me, or at least people who don't think I am certifiable because of this. I just hope I have the emotional strength to make it through this. I hope it passes quickly!!
