Post pregnancy question

I heard after you have a baby your hair will fall out from the hormones. My DD is 3 months old and my hair is all over the place. I have a full head of hair to begin with but it's all over the place..... And I just got my hair cut. Anyone ese have this problem after having a baby??

Absolutely normal (unfortunately). It happened last time and now DS is 3 mo and I'm shedding like mad. It's super annoying but what's even worse is when it grows back in. I had all these super short little hairs that just stuck straight up for the longest time. They eventually get long enough and blend in but the wait is no fun.

Oh yes! I am experiencing the short hairs right now at almost 11 months pp. It is awful!

The shedding stopped probably around 6-7 months pp for me.

Yes. It started at 3 mos and lasted for a good 3 months last time. My DD is now 3 mos old and the shedding has started again. I knew to expect it this time. I was surprised how long it lasted.

My son is 13 months and I'm dealing with this regrowth now (posted about it last week). Awful! Can't wait for it to grow out!!!

DS is six months and I still clog the shower with the amount of hair I'm losing. Crappy part is that my hair was terribly thin before, now it's practically see thru lol

Mine also started tO fall out like crazy around 3 months pp but it only lasted for a month or so. It seems like a lot of hair to lose but I think take just all the extra hair that you didn't lose while you were pregnant coming out.

Yes it happened to me with DD1 and now with DD2. I've found taking hair, nail, and skin vitamins to help some.
