Ughh postpartum hair loss
Holy crow it is ridiculous tonight! It is bad enough that I look like I am balding at my temples. Now I just ran my hand through my hair and got this MAJOR clump of hair. It is ridiculous!!

Re: Ughh postpartum hair loss
I had this really bad as well and at my 6wk check up they ran my thyroid, I already have hypothyroidism, and it was WAY off. I would call and ask them to check. I know it's normal, but it really shouldn't be that excessive. I also notice when my thyroid is off my skin gets REALLY dry and i'm tired. I know you're a new mommy, but I mean like can not get enough sleep to make it feel like it's even worth it exhausted.

Re: Ughh postpartum hair loss
I didn't lose a single strand during my pregnancy and then after I was like !!! I lost a ton for almost 8 mos, then it seemed normal again. I think its your body releasing the pregnancy hormones.

Re: Ughh postpartum hair loss
I'm loosing handfuls every shower. I know it's normal but it's disturbing too.
And it tickles like crazy. I'm constantly fishing for loose strands on my clothes, in bed, on the cat...

Re: Ughh postpartum hair loss
It's insane. My hair is all over the house. It seems to be slowing down for me (I'm 6 1/2 months pp) but a dermatologist told me I might see more when I'm done nursing.
Your follicles go into the resting phase during pregnancy. Once they return to active, all the hair that would've been shed during that time comes out.
