PP Hair Loss

I'm over it!! I am shedding like a mofo. Arghhhhh. Does this end at some point or am I just going to end up as bald as my baby?!

It's totally normal! I'm shedding too. It's ridiculous how much comes out each day. I can't believe I'm not bald! Last time I think it let up around 6m post partum, but that's when I got preg again so I'm not sure if it would have gone on longer.

Ugh its crazy here too! With my previous two it stopped around 6 months PP.

Yep, hair is coming out in clumps. I keep finding strands stuck to LO's face and hands. Yuck.

Ugh it's so awful. When I shower my drain looks like a small cat curled up on top. Then when I brush my hair another animal comes out.
It's driving me insane. DD always has pieces of my hair on her. As I'm pulling one off I find 2 more.
I can't handle 3 months of this. There is no way I'm making it out not bald!

I just started shedding this week. It felt weird after so many months of not losing any lol I'm just relieved to get rid of that downy that covered my body... I felt like a fuzzy mammoth.

I've had an extreme amount come out from the front , near my part. It's starting to grow back in now and is sticking straight out. As if the leaky boobs, cracked nipples, stretch marks and extra "fluff" weren't enough.

I have been pulling my hair back in a ponytail all say every day because of the amount that comes out every time I run my fingers through my hair when it's down. I am still finding hairs all over the house, the floor, the baby, etc. last time this happened I cut my hair short and I am trying to hold off this time!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! It's driving me crazy.

I ended up cutting about 6" off my hair, mostly because LO was grabbing it (and coming up with a handful of my hair each time). It was several inches below my shoulders, and now hits about an inch below my chin. I like it though :-)

Flame away, but it's so odd, I have the opposite problem. I lost so much hair while I was pregnant with DS, so much! Not to mention my hair was ruined, dry, nasty, gross. Now, my hair is growing like crazy everywhere! I've never had to shave so often in my life and my head is shiny and looking like I hit the salon every time I blow dry :-/

Mine kicked into overdrive about a week ago. Ugh. Cleaning the drain every time now.
