When does postpartum hair loss occur?

Question

I’m 5 weeks postpartum and I haven’t noticed any hair loss yet. I’m really hoping it doesn’t happen since for the first time my hair is really long and healthy.
Does it occur with everyone or does it really just depend on the individual? Also, how soon after delivery does it happen?

Answer

Usually like 4 months

Answer

I was about 3-4 months pp with my first.   I'm dreading what I will look like after this one.  I have all these 3-4 inch whisps of hair from the first time.
