My hair is still falling out

MommaP12 · February 2013

anyone else? I had gotten it cut mid January to help and while it's at least manageable, it's still falling out. I don't remember it lasting this long with DS. It started in December for me (early December, like the first). Anyone else still losing hair or remember how long it lasts?

Still losing here too, hope it ends soon.

This is my first LO so I have no idea how long it lasts, but I am right there with you! If I pull on my ponytail I get a handful of hair in return! it is getting ridiculous! I hope it stops soon because I am really tired of cleaning the drain at least 3 times each shwoer!

Still losing here too... I think I read it can last up to 6 months after the baby is born?

Mine started at 3 months PP and it's still falling out... hoping I still have some left after it is done!

Still losing hair as well.

hmp1 · February 2013

Yep. I think it lasted about 6mo with DS1.

Yep! I'm still losing a lot of hair too.

Mine is either just starting or getting worse! I've really noticed it in the last 3 weeks or so. I never noticed prior. I have long thick hair so I would always be losing hair, but now when I shampoo my hair, I end up with a huge handful everytime. It's gross. I want it to stop!!!

Both my BFF and I are still losing our hair. Her DS is 1wk older than our DD. It's weird though--obviously I'm shedding like crazy, but my hair is still feels just as thick as always.

Also, I've noticed that I seem to be losing a lot more eyelashes than usual lately (I had 5 loose ones yesterday). I'm actually starting to worry that I might have some sort of nutritional deficiency even though I still take prenatal vitamins.

Ah, the joys of being a new parent...I'm a hot mess.

kcalpin · February 2013

Yep, mine is still falling out too. Every time I wash my hair I'm worried I'll have a bald spot...

mine just started a couple weeks ago!!! but before i was pregnant with DS i always lost a lot of hair.

My LO is four and a half months and it hasn't started yet for me. Isn't that strange? And no, I'm not bragging...I promise I have other unpleasant PP issues to make up for it!

Not strange, I don't think. DD will be 5mo in 5 days and I really only started noticing mine in the past few weeks. But now it is undeniable - and it doesn't help that DD loves to grab handfuls.

Glad it's not just me. Mine has been coming out a lot lately and it seems like it has picked up in the last month. I keep waiting to find full on bald spots. My husband was commenting on it as well.

danabsd · February 2013

I am started right at 4 months and still going I have a literal bald spot. It's sick.

freeatlast2014 · February 2013

Ok, so I am now on baby #2 and I had no idea this was a PP side effect. I told DH just the other day that I was losing so much hair and he said he noticed...at least now I know why this is happening!

I have long think curly hair and always lost a lot before but when I was pg I didn't lose any so I just thought it was going back to the way it was. But then again, I was pg less than a year after having another baby so hm...maybe that was why? I dunno!

Im in this club. It's just plain GROSS! I got my hair cut thinking it would help, NOPE. FX this stops ASAP!

Kris2011RN · February 2013

My hair is still falling out as well. I started taking biotin to see if it helps. I hope it stops soon. My hair stopped growing when I was pregnant, I didn't think my hair would fall out as well.
