Anyone else struggling with postpartum hair loss?

Question

I’m 15 weeks postpartum and the hair loss hit me :( I mean it’s every where, chunks in the bed, I find it all over the baby, and it’s even worse in the shower. It has gotten so bad I just chopped it off (baby was also pulling it). I know there isn’t much that can be done beside prenatal’s (which I am already taking due to breastfeeding) but wanted to check in to see who else is struggling.

Answer

Oh yes, I know all about it! I'm also 15 weeks pp, second baby. Both times it's been a shock. My hair is literally everywhere. I run my fingers through it and have a fist full of hair! It'll stop eventually, no worries. During pregnancy hormones decrease the usual/normal hairloss. So now we're basically shedding everything we should've lost during those 9 months! 😅

Answer

Yes! 15 weeks exactly also and it just started. All normal.

Answer

Yes. I can pull my hair and it comes out and when I go to comb it I get a ball of hair each time. To be honest nobody would know that I'm losing my hair because it still so full and thick. I heard about losing hair but I didnt know it was going to be this bad.

Answer

Yup. I’m on my third baby here and this time I was fully prepared for it to happen but it still sucks. I keep it in a bun unless I’m washing it.

Answer

All over me, the baby, and the floor!!!

Answer

Oh yes. Clumps and clumps
