Firstly you should be fine for having a perming process after the birth of your baby (congrats)!

The wave or curl result is mostly down to the method used in creating the curl. Rollers, of varying sizes. Pin curl or barrel curl techniques can also be used. Some people however have very straight especially fine hair can be difficult to perm, also once done the results can not last as long as expected. I still think introducing some curl movement with a perm into you hair would benefit you hugely in even helping to hold your style. Visit your professional salon and have a consultation. They may even want to do a strand test to see how the result from this treatment came out.

It’s not going to grow thicker, so keep it a good length and shape every 5 weeks, and no harsh brushing.

The new hair growth will always stand straight out from the roots. Don't worry once it has grown a little more it will start to wave and then will blend in with the rest of the hair. You could use a liquid gel or pomade to help smooth down the hair.
