Hair loss after having a baby?

I am starting to get concerned that something is wrong...

The amount of hair I am losing every day is crazy, especially in the shower. I'm 3 1/2 months PP and haven't had a haircut in a long time, but is this normal? I normal lose a lot of hair, but this is crazy.

Re: Hair loss after having a baby?

yep it's normal. i'm a hairstylist and i see it all the time. it happened to me too. don't worry it all grows back. all of a sudden you'll see these tiny little hairs growing. your body has gone through a lot of changes and it's getting rid of the old hair to make room for new hair!!

Re: Hair loss after having a baby?

I started losing clumps at 4 months and it continued for about 2 months. I got a nice, short sassy cut at that point b/c it was much easier to deal with shorter hair clumps than much longer ones!!!Chat Icon

Re: Hair loss after having a baby?

I lost tons of hair until i was 6 months PP. I really thought i'd have bald patches if it continued.

Re: Hair loss after having a baby?

I heard it's normal and thought I was in the clear until a couple of weeks ago. I'm 4 months PP now and I'm losing hair like crazy! I had major hair loss my first trimester too.

Re: Hair loss after having a baby?

I am a hairdresser and in my experience the worst of it is usually around 5 months PP but everyone is different.
It is normal and it will come back!

Re: Hair loss after having a baby?

At least it's normal...but what a pain. I have dark hair and white floors in the kitchen...I am so tired of sweeping and vacuuming!

I might cut it hoping that it will help a little.
