Re: Is anyone elses hair falling out??
It's normal
But also know that you aren't really losing your hair.
My Dr explained that pregnancy hormones cause your hair's shedding cycle to slow down- so while you are pregnant you are actually holding onto more hair that you would normally have shed.
This is why a lot of people notice that their hair is much thicker and fuller while pregnant. Everyone thinks it's the prenatal vitaminss- but it's actually the pregnancy hormones.
After you give birth, your hormones go back to normal, and you start shedding all that extra hair that your body held onto for 9 months.
Hence why you see so much coming out.
Mine stopped shedding excessively around 5 months PP

Well put! I started losing my hair around 3 months PP and it slowed down a lot by 6 months PP. I would say it was back to normal by 9 months PP.

Re: Is anyone elses hair falling out??
With both my boys about 3 months after having them I suffered a ton of hair loss. Seriously I thought I was going to go bald. DS #2 is now almost 9 months aold and my hair is finally coming back and not falling out as much.

Re: Is anyone elses hair falling out??
Oh yeah, from 4-6 months PP, it was embarrassing to have anyone over the house: there was hair everywhere. Ugh. It went back to normal at about 7 months PP.
