I have always bern a "heavy shedder" but this is getting ridiculous! We are talking about a couple handfuls of hair every morning and more on the floor and brush. I'm almost 4 months PP, when does this slow down?
BFP #1 5/2010 - Missed m/c at 8 weeks BFP #2 2/2011 Baby G welcomed with love and relief 10/2011 Surprise BFP 1/8/2013...say what? Baby A arrived 9/2013
This is me this week as well. I had a thyroid problem with my first pg and Synthroid did help with the hair loss. However, my levels were fine this pg, so no medication for me, and I didn't have much hair loss during pg.
This week, it has been coming out by the handfuls in the shower, and every time I brush my hair. I think I'll be bald within a few weeks. I've heard it could last up to a year. =(
Unfortunately with DS#1 (who is 3-1/2 now), it didn't stop until middle of my pregnancy with DS#2!!!! So far I haven't got it yet but I am expecting the hair loss to start up soon.
Mine was worst between 3 and 6 months PP. I agree to get a healthy cut if you have long hair, then another healthy cut once it's grown back in and your roots are way thicker than your ends.

I have a ton of hair normally and shed whenever my thyroid is off, but PP shed was something else. It got to where I had to clean out the shower drain 2-3 times during every shower and then I'd fill my brush 1-2 times after that. It finally lessened about 5m PP and now at 6m PP I can make it through an entire shower without cleaning out the drain and only mostly fill my brush. So, it's not completely back to "normal," but it's considerably better. The crazy thing is, I don't have a bald spot. I'm that girl that used to have a pony tail that was so thick that no clip on the market could hold it. Now, just about any clip can.
