Hair Loss

Anyone still losing hair?  When does it end? 

Everywhere I look are strands of my hair.  It is disgusting and I want it to stop.

This might help answer your ?s. If not...I tried. lol. I am still loosing mine almost 4mo PP. It sucks and is so gross. Yesterday I had to empty the shower drain 2x because it kept clogging up during my shower. I am ready for this hair loss to be done too. Hopefully sooner rather than later!

Ew I know.  DH was cleaning the drain a couple weeks ago and he was grossed out.  Now I try to collect the hair as it comes out in the shower and throw it out when I get out of the shower.  Sounds really gross, sorry.

Thanks for the link.

My hair started falling out at the 3 month mark and is still coming out by the handful. Every time I run my hand through my hair I'm left with lots of strands. Before getting pregnant my hair shed a fair amount, but I think it's falling out at a higher rate than it ever did before kid. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

YES!  It started when the babies were about 2 months old and I get huge clumps every day out of the shower, every morning on my pillow, in the brush and all day long.  I've stopped fixing the hair and just putting it in a pony.  I hope it's over soon too!!

I've actually always done this cuz I think a clogged drain full of hair is more gross. Plus, our shower now wouldn't collect hair in the drain...it'd just sit on top I think. But seriously, this PP hair-loss is no joke. It needs to stop!

I never grew any extra and I'm not losing any extra, which is good. My hair is normally really oily and pregnancy balanced it out so it almost never got dirty. It is literally the only thing I missed about being pregnant.

Yep, hate it. Hoping it ends soon!

If you're still BF, I hear it happens again when you wean.  I don't remember it happening, but I always shed.

Holly hair loss it's happening to me too!  It started 2 weeks ago and I can't believe I don't have patches on my head like my baby, lol.  This is my first and wondering when this ends.

Noooooooooo!!! Don't tell me that!!  My hair didn't get much thicker during pregnancy and I can't believe how much I'm shedding now.  It started when DS was around 6 weeks old and I'm surprised I don't have bald patches on my head.  I can't wait for this to end.. and I'm dreading the idea of it happening again when DS weans.

Hahaha, your post made my giggle Yeah, I'm still shedding hair like it's going out of style too.... I need to clear out my hair brush what seems like every few days! Ugh.

I have noticed more shedding for about the last month too.  I thought maintaining the vitamin regiment would help, but it looks like that may only be part of the problem.

Mine just started!! =( I thought "yes, the hair loss thing is not going to happen to me, I am already 4months PP."

Spoke to soon! It's happening now! This is horrible! I don't even want to wash my hair...so gross!!

I don't find it gross. Just annoying. My hair has always shed quite a bit so not a huge deal to me. Just makes showering longer as I have to get all tangled up in shedding hair now.
