Every ones hair goes through three stages of growth: Anagen - Active Growth
Catogen - Changing from active to resting
Telogen - Resting period.
When your pregnant your hair goes into the anagen stage, which means it constantly grows with no regular everyday hair loss at all. this is why it is so much fuller and healthier. but after the pregnancy all the extra hair that would normally have fallen out starts to fall out. so don't worry its very rare for someone to go Bald.
i no what your going through i had my 'gorgeous' son 5 months ago and i still have remove all the hair from my brush every morning and hover the whole house(my hair actually chokes the hover).
hopefully it will stop soon and if you are really worried about it consult your doctor. hope this helped!

This happened to me, my doctor said there was nothing they could do, but it started growing back after a few months. I don't know why it happens several months after having a baby. You could try hair thickening shampoos, but I didn't find they worked for me.

I'd like to answer this but if I do the purity police will censor me.

Its a hormonal thing, though 7 months is pretty late- are you breastfeeding?
