Postpartum hair loss?

[imhischeeseburger]

I'm 3 months postpartum, and I'm losing hair like crazy. I keep finding strands of my hair everywhere. Clumps of it keep falling off whenever I wash or brush it. I don't remember it being this bad the other two times

[JayhawkGirl]

I shed like crazy from 4 to 8 mos both times. Hopefully since it wasn't a big issue for you in the past, it'll be short lived. I go bald at my temples. Fun times.

I'm right in the midst of this right now myself.

You have my deepest sympathies. It sucks.

The great shed is real. Mine is growing back in at 6 months. My hair is 1" long fly aways everywhere. Not sure what is worse.

[speckledfrog]

I didn't shed the first time. The second time it was insane. It sucks. I think it lasted two months. Regrowth was no fun. Hopefully yours ends soon and come back in quick.

I think mine stopped around 6 or 7 months. It was pretty awful for awhile though. I was pulling out clumps of hair every time I took a shower and my clothes were always covered in hair. I hope your shedding ends soon!

[fezzik]

I'm going through the exact same thing. I'm almost 3 months out and have been losing tons of hair. I will even find strands of my hair stuck in C's little hands. Ugh, it's uncontrollable.

I think last time it lasted for two months or so, but my hair is much longer this time and it feels like I'm losing way more. It sucks.

[liverandonions]

I shed a lot after my first but this time is insane. After I comb my wet hair I'm able to pull out a clump every time:(

[5hole]

Yeah, it was way worse for me after DD. i weaned at 1 year and was still losing hair until 15 mos. it was crazy. My sympathies

[Monica Geller]

It's awful! I lost a ton of hair from 4-8 months. I cut it around 6months and that helped, but it was still bad. It's growing back now and I have little hairs and fly aways that are annoying too.

[tinybride]

Ava is 4 months now and I'm in the midst of it. It's awful. I can see the thinning at my part. I swear it feels like I've lost half of my hair. My ponytail is all skinny and sad now.

[giamia]

I had the same thing it was so bad. I think it finally let up around 9 months for me. Are you still taking your prenatals? I heard that helps. Also fish oil can help as well. Hope it stops soon!

[chickenlittle]

My PP hair loss was alarming both times. It slowed down around 9 months PP, and now I'm in the lovely regrowth Chia Pet phase.

[Kit]

I'm losing a ton; DS is 3.5 months now. There is hair everywhere, I could probably make a wig.

[marylennox]

It's horrible. Mine has finally stopped and now I have weird regrowth happening. I think the worst of it was around 3-6 months. The shedding drove me fucking crazy, I tried a shorter cut thinking finding shorter hairs everywhere would be less annoying, but it was still bad. Prenatals and fish oil made no difference either.

I didn't realize how much thicker my hair had become during pregnancy until it all started falling out and I somehow still had some left. Ha. Now it's back to its thin, flat self.

[dottyblue]

Yup, I'm here. The hair in the shower is unbelievable. And our laundry always ends up coming out of the dryer with wads of hair. It's so much worse this 2nd time around.

[vino]

It seemed like I shed tons of hair for years. But I'm Cuban so I have more than enough to spare.

[adlove]

Ugh yes mine was worst between 3-6 months. I was legit balding. And my forehead is already huge so the receding hairline was not cute at all. I'm so sorry hope it's over for you soon! I heard from everyone that the regrowth was worse but I felt like a million bucks by comparison when those bald patches filled in a bit.
