I heard that when your pregnant you dont lose much hair like you would normally and that after baby you lose what you didnt lose while you were pregnant. Anyone else hear that? Anyone else lose hair after baby? Im 4 months post. I thought If I was going to start losing some hair it would have been RIGHT after she was born not months later.

MommyToAshley replied: I lost quite a bit of hair too. My DD is 22 months and I am still losing my hair, but not like I did the first 6-8 months. I think what you are experiencing is normal.

TeagansMom609 replied: Oh thank God!!!!!! LOL

Guest replied: It's very common to lose alot of hair for up to about 9 months after having a baby. I still lose quite a bit...but nothing like a few months ago. I was afraid to wash my hair b/c I lost so much. I would literally have a hand full of hair come out at once. Once, I freaked out so bad that I didnt wash my hair for 3-4 days!!

Now, thankfully, it has slowed down a great deal. I think it has to do with all the hormones etc in your body leveling off. Everything spiked while you were pregnant.. and now things are getting back to normal really fast.

It will slow down and you wont go bald. I still have hair left lol

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Oh yeah. I lost a good amount after I had Jade. It started probably about 3 or 4 months post-partem for me. I don't remember when it stopped, but it has since started to grow back in.

A&A'smommy replied: I didn't loose hair while I was pregnant, but about 4 months after I did and a LOT of it. It freaked me out too but its a lot better now and she is almost 8 months old.

MomToMany replied: Yep, perfectly normal! I'm starting to "shed" right now too since I had Kayla. There's hair everywhere! It drives me NUTS!

TeagansMom609 replied: Thanks everbody! I feel alot better!

coasterqueen replied: Yep, normal. I still am shedding a ton!

My2Beauties replied: I did the same thing and the doc told me to continue to take my pre-natal vitamins and that it helps! It did for me, I don't know if you're still taking yours but if not you could try it! If you are, I don't know what to say except hang in there, it will end soon and you'll be back to normal! It's frustrating isn't it

Kaitlin'smom replied: like everyone said its normal....can freek you out but normal I am still lossing some and my DD is 18 months old

kimberley replied: mine is still coming out in clumps too and Jade is 10 mos already. this happened with my other two also, so i just chalk it up to another "joy" of post pg.
