anyone else losing their hair?

My hair is seriously falling out in clumps and handfuls. When I wash my hair, I can easily clog the drain with so much hair that's falling out! I know it's normal and all with the different hormonal changes, but sheesh! At this rate, I feel like I'm gonna end up bald in no time...

    Yes! My hair is naturally really thick and while pregnant it got worse. Then after LO was born I have list so much hair that even my hair dresser commented on how much thinner it was. I always have to get my hair thinned but um.starting to think I won't have that problem for long.

    By the handful. One of my first appointments my OB told me that i'd stop losing the hair I normally do and I'll think I'm going bald when it resumes after pregnancy.

    I noticed I stopped losing hair then and maybe my memory is short but I swear this much hair didnt fall out before I was pregnant!

    I'd put a Movember mustache fail, but then
    you'd all have to look at it until February.

    Are you guys still taking prenatal vitamins? I swear my hair keeps getting thicker and my nails are growing like weeds.

    Yep. I have been losing it in clumps for over 2 weeks. Sadly I have rather large patchy areas from my temples to the base of my neck. I can't wear my hair in a pony tail bc I look like I'm sick or something. My hair dresser told me this would happen but I had no idea to what extent. I'm waiting for the day I don't have to clean out my brush agent using it just once.

    Yes- while pregnant I didn't loose any and now it's all coming out.  Same thing happened with first pregnancy.

    Yep hair everywhere and I'm still on prenatals. Feel like I notice it more bc I grew out my pixie (had it for 2.5yts) during pregnancy so its a lot of what I see as long hair. Waiting for the drain to clog - hasn't happened in forever. Doctor says it evens out by 9ish mo post partum...

    Mine didn't fall out but it was breaking in the middle resulting in me getting it cut pretty short! But it was the same hair style I had pre baby so it all worked out I guess!

    Mine is coming out by the handful. This happened last time as well, and stopped around 6 months... which is a lot of months to go.. Boo.

    I'm still taking prenatal vitamins, and losing hair every time I touch it, plus my son loves to pull on it.

    Yep, taking my vitamins too. My nails are growing like crazy and my hair is growing fast, but it's all falling out! This is supposed to last until at least 6 months? Oh boy, we need a better mop, vacuum, etc etc!
