Losing hair?! :/ (me not baby)

rachiec773 · October 2015

Any other mammas out there losing hair?? I feel like I could make a wig out of the hair that's been falling out of my head these last 2 weeks (I'm 17 weeks pp) I've never really been a huge shedder so this is new and different to me...I'm starting to worry I might go bald

I think it's normal. You're body doesn't shed hair during pregnancy. My hair dresser warned me about this!

I've been wanting to post about this too! I loose so much hair every day I'm amazed I still have hair on my head. I was wondering how long does it last? I'm 17 weeks PP also.

I said the same thing about making a wig to my husband yesterday! I guess it is normal but I can't wait for it to stop.

I have to clean my shower drain out everyday or the water won't drain from so much hair. It's terrible. I too am wondering how long it lasts and will does it grow back? It's been going on for a few weeks already.

I'm losing a ton of hair every day. I thought taking prenatals would help, but it's coming out in clumps!

Same! I should be bald by Christmas!

It's totally normal to lose hair after pregnancy. I've been shedding huge amounts since a few days after giving birth (now 17 weeks). It's finally starting to slow down and grow back. I look awful with all the short hairs growing and sticking up around my head. With my first child, I finally started to feel like my hair was back around 18 months... Right when I got pregnant with my second baby! This too shall pass.

Yes. Same. I swear I have more weird side effects post baby as opposed to when I was prego!

Me too!

Yes me too, my husband jokes saying he consumes at least an ounze of my hair a week... He's coming but even if I put it up and change my shirt it ends up in the food. So frustrating!! But yeah I read it was normal and happens approx 3 months PP. So pregnancy makes your hair growth faster and so pretty and then PP makes you lose it so not fair lol

I noticed I was losing a lot of hair, now it makes sense!

Same here...it's embarrassing how much hair I've been losing. I actually got my hair done yesterday, and the lady that does my hair said it's completely normal. She said pre pregnancy you lose an average of 50-100 hairs a day. That stops when your pregnant so post pregnancy, typically a couple months as your your hormones are going back to normal, you lose all the hair you didn't shred, up to 500 hairs a day! It takes a few weeks for your body to go back to normal but she said once that happens you'll stop losing all the hair.

Totally normal! You don't shed really when preggo so you lose all the hair you would've shed during those months. I went through this with my first also. I posted a thread about it awhile ago but maybe it wasn't happening to too many yet. I'm 17 weeks pp and it started for me about 6-8 weeks pp. Like the pp said I'm at the point where I have little hairs sticking out around my hairline lol. I can't wait for it to all go back to normal!!
