I freaked out and called my OB when the same thing happened about 3 months after I had my first baby. It lasted a few months, and at the time, I thought I was going to end up completely bald! I could always tell where I had been because there was hair everywhere. It only lasted a few months, then my hair started to thicken back up. Same thing happened to me after my second who is 6 months old. I am still dealing with some hair loss. It is completely normal, and nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about. It's due to hormonal changes going on in your body. Hair tends to be thicker during pregnancy, then after having the baby some falls out do to the hormonal change.

I think you need to condition your hair.Use some warm oil and massage it on your hair,followed by a good rinse.Drink lots of water and take vitamin supplements.Keep your hair clean and don't wash it too often as it strips off your hair from natural oils.And if this doesn't help try visiting a doctor.

Hormone changes after delivery frequently cause hair loss. It shouldn't continue forever.

no, it is not normal, perhaps the pregnancy left u with some kind of vitamins deficiency, go check it out with a dermatologist :) stress alone can not cause hair to fall

I've heard it is normal due to hormone fluctuations. If it's REALLY bad (more than 100 strands a day) then contact your doctor just to make sure.

Wow, same thing has been happening with my neighbor. She was told to start taking her prenatal vitamins again.

Have your dr check your thyroid levels.

it might be stress which is causing your hair loss
