But my hair is falling out too Crying

I have a ton of hair and it{s really thick so I have always shed a lot, but it is coming out in handfuls. 

WTF are you supposed to do? Why does this happen PP? I?m pissed and about to call Dr. Google to find out.

    I thought this was going to be a BFP post ...

    Anyway, I ha(d) very thick hair too, and started losing it, maybe around 3 months pp?  It stopped a couple months later, but I was also KU, so that's probably why.  I don't know how long it lasts.  

    I know that the reason it happens pp is that your hair doesn't fall out at its normal rate during pregnancy.  So there's actually a lot of excess.  In theory you're supposed to be losing the same amount of hair you would have lost, had you not been pregnant.

    Its so scary and sad isnt it!  Mine started about when yours did....I have noticed this  week it is getting better.  Sometimes I think if I dont wash it everyday it will help....well then  I lose twice as much in one washing!  Dr Google told me it should stop by when the baby is 6 months starting around 3 months.  GL!

    Hormones?? That would be my guess.  Any other symptoms?

    It just keeps getting better doesn't it...

    This is the sh!t they should tell you in sex ed - there would be way fewer teen pregnancies if they knew about all these dumb little things that happen.

    I know the feeling. I have a whole hand full by the time I'm down with a shower and I have to empty my brush twice a week now. It's so frustrating!
