Back2back babies & hair loss question

runway41

Anyone out there have 2 babies w/i an 18 month span?

I have one son that will be one at the end of May and another that will be 2 also at the end of May.  While pregnant with the youngest, I didn't have any dramatic hair loss (like I thought I would after having the older of the two)...ok so fast forward to now and my hair is still shedding pretty badly even though our baby is 11 mo old.  I'm wondering if this is still remnants from the other pregnancy or what? Its not shedding as it was when the baby was 5 mo. old, but I can literally just run my fingers through my hair and pull out a few strangs several times a day... I'm also 33....this wouldn't have any impact would it?

Oh, and I'm done breastfeeding...although I'm not taking any more PNV.

Anyone else experience this?

My hair fell out after #1, then with #2 I just got done with the worst(I hope) of the shedding. I am still bf'ing and taking the vitamins but I was scared I was going to be bald for awhile. #2 is almost 7 months.

I was finding my hair everywhere, I actually clogged my sink with all my hair that was falling out while getting ready in the morning.

I didn't lose much after #1, but I am this time around...and my DC are 2 years apart. I'm not sure the spacing has anything to do with it.
