OMG, i almost posted about this too. It's normal and I had this with my first too but it's really annoying. The hair is EVERYWHERE. I mean, really everywhere. It's gross lol
Must be normal, I've seen other posts about it. It's happening so bad, I creeped out my DSD the other day bc the hair just kept coming out as she was playing hairsalon...

Totally normal... it makes sense in that my hair NEVER fell out the entire pregnancy. I guess my body is just catching up. So gross... there's hair everywhere!
I was a shedder before pregnancy, then it completely stopped while I was pregnant. It's only slightly worse now than it was before, but I really really really liked not having to deal with shedding. Yuck.
P.S. I tell people we got a Dyson Animal because of the cat, but it was at least partly because I shed so much hair. I AM THE ANIMAL. lol
Same here! Been falling out since DS was about 3 months. Starting to get better and he is 5 months now. My Iron was a bit low and Dr. said that can also cause hair loss along with the PP hormones.
Hair still falling out in clumps in the shower. Last time it lasted a long time as well as my hair texture changing as well. Hoping that doesn't happen again.

I heard SIL suggested vitamin E help. Is there any truth to it ?
@michellelcl I read somewhere that it has to do with some vitamin deficiency but I can not recall which one. It happens with a so many ladies here, is everyone needing extra vitamins?
Ugh. I am so over it. I live in a humid hot area, so normally I keep my thick curly hair in a bun. Well, I went without brushing it for 2 days, you know, kept redoing my bun, then I washed it yesterday and discovered a horrible tangle in the back. I was in tears brushing it out. When I was finished, my brush looked like I was holding a guinea pig. X_X
Are you taking birth control? I was taking Errin (progesterone only birth control) & I started noticing large amounts of my hair falling out. I randomly googled "errin reviews" & it turns out many people had experienced the same thing. I stopped taking it and haven't had any problems since.
Mine starting falling out like crazy around 3 months pp. Now 6 months pp and noticing that it's getting better. My Iron was also a bit low and Dr. said that can cause hair loss as well. I started taking some iron and have since noticed an improvement.

Oh thank god this is normal! It has been driving me crazy having so much hair come out all the time. I went through seven months of chemo when I was 21 and this is just giving me flashbacks. I cannot wait for it to stop.
I read that a non-pregnant person loses on average between 100-150 hairs a day. After pregnancy, around the 3 month mark, it's about 500 hairs per day!! I definitely see it and it's CRAZY!
This is totally normal, one thing to watch out for though is your hair getting stuck in socks, mittens, and diapers. It can wrap around fingers toes and limbs and cause strangulation of the limb (toe tourniquet syndrome. My LO had a hair wrapped around her toe so tight it cut in she had to be on antibiotics for 10 days because of the cut. We had to cut the hair off with a knife, it we hadn't had gotten it off it would've meant a trip to the ER.
Re: Hair falling out?
I'm just trying to make sense of things :-)
