I get post baby chops... makes sense to go low maintenance after starting a family.
Post wedding chop, I don't really understand though.
Did you do a post wedding chop to your hair? What about a post baby chop?

I did a chop while I was pregnant but not after DS was born.
I feel like I always have to blow dry my hair when it's short. When it's long I can just do a pony tail and keep all my hair off my face and neck. Longer hair is definitely easier for me.

Post baby chop, yes. I went super short and I kind of miss my hair now.

I did both! After my wedding I donated my hair to locks of love for the third time. I had planned to donate again after baby but in order to meet the ten inch requirement my hair would have been too short to put in a pony tail which wouldn't really work with a baby.

Nope. Neither. I like my hair long.
My bff did after her wedding, though.

Post wedding chop, yes. Post baby, no. I am letting it grow out from the PWC! I just got it styled and dyed.

I did a post wedding chop, about a month afterwards. I'd been growing it for a year or so as I wanted it long and wavy for the day. Then I got sick of it and wanted a change.

I did a chop when DD was 18mo bc it was summer and so HOT. I liked it but I'm growing it out again.

I did a post wedding chop the day after our wedding. I was so ready to not deal with hair, especially for our honeymoon in Mexico. Now that I'm pregnant I'm growing my hair back out but I could definitely see myself chopping again right after the baby comes.

I had a bit of an identity crisis after my wedding and not only had my hair restyled (I didn't go short, I just had my fringe put back in and some layers) - I also coloured it bright red! And I hated it!!!!

I did a post wedding chop because I'd spent over a year growing it out for the wedding and I was sick of it! I loved my short a-line PW chop! Ive been contemplating a post- baby chop since he was born but haven't had the guts to go through with it yet!

I didn't do a post-wedding chop, but I did a pre-baby chop. At 38 weeks pregnant I went to my stylist and asked for a really short layered cut... my reasoning was I probably won't be able to get my hair cut for awhile post-baby so if I cut it all at once, I won't need to go back for awhile!

I did a post wedding chop because I had super long hair and DH always complained about it getting in the way or falling out so much. I just shortened it a lot and donated it, but it was still shoulder length and never thought of it as a post wedding chop really, but maybe a pre-baby chop?
A few months after DS was born I lost so much hair and between the pregnancy hormones, my messed up thyroid and starting synthroid, my hair loss was out of control with balding spots, so I was forced to cut it very short (think Victoria Beckham's angled cut) to hide my hair loss. It's now shoulder length again, but I prefer it a little longer.

I did a post-baby chop. My hair was over half way down my back and I cut it above my shoulders. I wish I wouldn't have cut it!

I'm thinking about a pre-baby chop, but wondering if its best for me to wait until after delivery and my craziness has subsided to make any drastic changes

I cut a few inches off after the wedding, but not that mutch-- my hair is fine and has a couple of weird cowlick areas, so there is a limit range of lengths/styles that work. I see it staying about the same after baby-- long enough to go in a ponytail, short enough that blow drying is really fast when I choose to (so, shoulder length).

I did a post wedding chop - and went from middle-of-back blonde to dark red chin bob with full-on bangs. DH had to do a double take when he saw me after.
Post baby (about 3 months later) I did another chop, but that was to get rid of dead ends and because it was all effed up pp.

No post-wedding chop, but I did a PRE-baby chop! My hair was getting very unhealthy from too much dyeing, etc, so I chopped it all off! I miss it so much!!!! lol! I'm hoping it'll be ponytail length by July...but that's doubtful

I did a PWC, I had grown my hair out to be able to have an updo and was so tired of so much hair! I haven't done an PBC yet, although with summer coming I'll probably go shorter.

My hair wasn't very long when we got married (long enough to put up, but just) and DH really wanted me to grow it out, so I didn't do a post-wedding chop. I did chop about 6" off when DS was about 4 months old when I was at the height of my pp hair loss. It's still below my shoulders is more manageable/less likely to get yanked.

only a post baby chop -- not really by choice though -- that 3 month pp hair loss was insane for me! my long hair was all scraggly and gross

I didn't do a post wedding chop - I have long hair and I like to keep it long. I don't have a baby so I have not done a post baby chop LOL But I think I'll most likely keep it long, I can not stand short hair on me! I'd much rather be able to stick it in a pony tail if I need it out of my way.

I did a post baby chop. I did consider doing one right after our wedding mainly because i wanted a new look, but never got around to it

i did a pre-baby chop also but my hair grows like crazy and immediately after baby was born, i had it up in a permanent messy ponytail. I just had another haircut (9 months post baby) that i should have gotten months ago and it feels so good.

I was going to cut my hair after we got married, but my DH loves it long. It's now to my hips!! I think I will probably have to at least cut some of the length after we have kids.

I donated my hair after my wedding, but now I keep it long for the ponytail factor with baby...now trying to grow it out so it can all be pulled back (including the layer in front), because I have a hair-puller...gah

I sortta did a post-wedding chop (does a year later count?), but now I'm growing it out for baby. Short hair does NOT necessarily mean low-maintenance, I found the total opposite to be true.
