Postpartum hair loss...

For those of you that have experienced postpartum hair loss, how long would you guess that it lasted?

 

Mine is in full swing right now, and I have a LOT of hair so I am curious to see how this goes. 

Re: Postpartum hair loss...

  • ugh, I think this is just starting for me.  I already shed like nobody's business, but I've noticed it getting a LOT worse lately.  I have super thin hair as it is, so I am not excited about this at all!

     sorry, I didn't answer your question at all, but I can commiserate... :)

  • I don't know how much longer it's going to last but I've had about 2 weeks of it being pretty bad. I love my hair so during my showers now it's like a Hitchcock movie to me just tons of hair down the drain. Most I hate having to untangle strands from Los fingers and toes
  • With ds1 it started at 4 months and lasted until 8 months, when I got pregnant again.

    This time it started at 3 months and is still going. It's awful!

     

  • Ugh mine just started about 2 weeks ago. Fortunately, I have a lot of thick hair so I'm not too concerned about it changing my appearance at all. It's just super annoying. My hair is EVERYWHERE!
  • My hair is thin and this is horrible!!! I started about 3 weeks ago. I hope it gets better soon!

  • I don't remember how long it lasted with DS1.  Still going for DS2.....  and it can for as long as it wants, because the next phase (baby hair!) is so, so much worse.  Not looking forward to that at all!
  • No help here either...still losing it all over.

  • I'm shedding in bunches and I'm worried that I'll go bald. I have thin hair to begin with but now I feel like it's thinned so much you can see my skull. :(
  • Hello! My little guy is 3 months but I'm bouncing around on boards a month before and after me... I just posted something about this in my April board! Haha I'm losing a ton of hair! It's driving me crazy!!! Hope it doesn't last too long but I was thinking of going back one prenatal vitamins. Not sure it'll help but worth a shot!
  • My LO is 4 months and it just started about a month ago...hair everywhere! I have fine hair anyway so I'm not happy about this.  I talked to my hairdresser and she said that I could either take biotin or go back on prenatals and it might help.

    I never quit my prenatals, and my hair's still coming out in handfuls. Maybe they delayed it a little, but they definitely didn't do much once it started falling out.

    I lost mine when LO turned 3 months. I started taking biotin always did before I was preggo and MSM for my arthritis and it started growing back.
