shedding hair

blondie10m

I don't know if it's happening to you other moms yet but I have been shedding hair like crazy for the past week.  Everytime I comb my hair after a shower it comes out in clumps almost.  I am constantly picking hairs off myself and DS.  He also always seems to have a hair in one of his fists.  How long does this last???

It's been awful! I have no idea how long it will last. I hope not long!

Me too! It's bad enough that my mom is suggesting I get my thyroid levels checked since we have a family history.

After my first pregnancy, it lasted a while. I even had a bald spot! Receding hairline, the works. I thought by continuing taking my prenatal it would help this time around. Nope! It is coming out in clumps! It started around the 3 month mark for both babies. I just hope i don't get a bald spot again. It took a year for it to grow in.

I just started noticing hair coming out!  It gets everywhere and is very annoying.  I've heard it really starts when you stop breastfeeding, but I am still breastfeeding...so idk.

This happened to me 4 mo pp after DD1.  I had 2 bad bald spots from a receding hairline.  It was awful and lasted about 4-6 wks before new hairs started to fill in.  The new hair phase was awful too-little pieces sticking straight up until they were long enough to fall downward.  My fingers are crossed it doesn't happen to me this time.  Although, I get the feeling if it happened once it will happen again!

 I thought maybe I was the only one!

It's happening to DD and I both! haha. We both started shedding 3 months pp. Now she's almost bald and my hair is considerablt thinner. She's always covered in both of our hair.
