I felt like I was going bald for 2ish months after DS was born.  It's totally normal, tons of women experience it.

After my DD, I had it bad around 3 months pp. This time, I am still awaiting for it to happen, but I'm only 6 weeks PP.

I also have been losing a ton especially in the shower and brushing after showering. My hair is also more dry. Hoping things will go back to normal in a few weeks. Are you still taking your prenatal vitamin?

It's hormones. While pregnant, your body holds on to more hair and then PP you lose it.

Yep. I've been shedding like crazy.  So tired of sweeping up hair.

Yup, I started shedding 3 weeks ago, which is about 13 weeks PP.

I'm losing all sorts of hair everywhere. I feel like I'm turning into one of those Egyptian sphynx cats.

Yes it stinks, I especially hate when LO gets one wrapped around her little fingers. My hair is also completely different than 3 pregnancies ago. I used to be able to wear it curly or straight, but now it's not curly or straight... It's just dry and blah.

Completely normal. Hair loss occurs PP because of drops in hormone levels, usually. I didn't start shedding out until 3 months PP but I also attribute it to the change in seasons. Excessive hair loss (by your standards) should be talked over with your doctor just in case something is wrong.
