Severe post-partum hair loss

Anyone else? It's getting really bad to the point where I have some bald spots and a receding hair line. I am 4 mo pp and this is my 2nd. I remember the hair loss the first time but not like this. It gets so bad that the hair that is falling out gets tangled with the rest of my hair and it creates knots all over that makes it impossible to brush out sometimes. Yesterday one area felt like I had gum in my hair and I actually had to cut that piece out after trying to practically rip through it without sucess. I am so sad and my husband can't believe it either. I know its the hormones but sheesh this bad??
