Hair Loss

Has or is anyone experiencing hair loss after they've had their baby?  I had my baby 4 months ago by C-section.  Back in April I noticed that my hair was shedding more than normal when I combed it.  Last month it started coming out in clumps!  I now have a few bald spots and I'm trying to figure out how to style my hair for work without it being noticeable.  At first I thought it was due to stress, but I seem to not have a problem with hair growth in other areas (for example my legs, which I have to shave every 2 days now).

 Any insights will be appreciated!

    I personally have not experienced this, But I have friends who have. It's supposed to be completely normal to shed you hair after pregnancy...and well after being pregnant too. But I'm not sure if bald spots are normal? I would def ask to be referred to a specialist to get it checked out.
