Hair Falling Out

in September 2014 Moms
My hair is falling out in handfuls every time I shower or brush it or take a hair band out. I know hair loss is normal post partum, but I am having so much that I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong. It started when I stopped nursing and has been going on for a month now. Thankfully my hair is naturally thick so it wouldn't be noticeable to others, but still a bit disturbing. Anyone else experiencing this? I do not remember it being this significant after my first baby.

    Yep. It's everywhere. My period came back on 1/2 and the hair noticeably started falling out just a couple days before. And it's kept it up all month.

    Mine was worse with my first. This time I stayed on my prenatal longer and its either not so bad or happened slower ovee time so it's less noticeable. With my first I cried every shower when I had wads in the drain and more stuck to me. It was awful and I sympathize with you but assure you it ends and you may not have lucious preggo locks but you will get back to your normal.

    Mine is still falling out like crazy, too. After my shower I for to clean out the massive pile of hair around the drain and when my 8 year old went to take his shower, he refusedto get in because he thought the hair pile was a dead mouse. BTW - hi! I have not posted in months. My twins are keeping me very busy.

    Mine was bad in the beginning and then went away and I thought "well that wasn't so bad" now starting this week it is falling out in handfuls even worse than before!

    Mine has been horrible since 3 months postpartum. I've been told it stops around 6 months. Can't wait. I can tell my hair is noticeably thinner when I put it in ponytails. Makes me sad. It was nice having thick hair for once while preggo.

    Is anyone still taking prenatals? I'm taking a postnatal for BF moms and I haven't really noticed much hair loss yet. Wonder if it could have anything to do with stopping vitamins.

    Ugh @Ivorytower2‌ I meant to keep taking mine and it's one of the things that fell through the cracks. Wishing I kept them up now though!!

    I've been taking prenatal vitamins every day and still have the hair loss. Started about a month post partum and still going strong at almost 5 months. Ready for it to stop!

    I'm taking prenatals still and it started falling out this month... Lo tugging on my hair doesn't help the situation either

    I had it too, but it is finally slowing down to a normal amount now. LO is 5 months now - hair loss started about 3.5-4 months.

    I thought I was the only one.& I don't think prenatal vitamins help because I've kept up with them since my sons birth. I just thought it was the breastfeeding. I went to go get my hair cut because of it and even the hair stylist noticed how much hair I was loosing. But now it's not as bad since my hair cut like a week ago.

    I had a quite a bit one month postpartum but the past 2 months I get handfuls and chunks out and my husband noticed and said I was balding. I hope it stops soon
