It`s hormonal!!But just to be sure you should have your thyroid checked!!Have your doctor run a TSH check!!Just in case.

That happened to me, too. I have heard taking biotin and/or vitamin E helps. It seemed like I was losing tons of hair, but when it was all said and done, my hair just went back to the way it was before. I also had my baby in the winter and I definitely don't think that helps. Good luck!

Everyone loses hair a little at a time--every day--so new hair can grow in its place. When you are pregnant, your hormones prevent you from losing that hair. So, after you have the baby, your hormones catch up with you and it all falls out at the same time. It's not forever--it does grow back. It just sucks for a while.

I have a 10 day old baby - mine hasnt started to fall out yet but my friends has - her bub is 4 mths old.
Its normal - a shame though as my hair has never been so think and healthy.

It's because your hair thickens when you're pregnant and then falls out after the hormones are gone, I was happy to lose hair because I have so much. I don't know how to stop it though.

Its completely normal. You lose all the extra hair you grew during pregnancy while taking all the prenatal vitamins and such. It has alot to do with estrogen... check out this website... http://babyparenting.about.com/od/postpartum/f/pphairloss.htm

You are losing all the hair your body hung on to during pregnancy. It happens to everybody. Tough luck :(

Partly due to having a baby as your body adjusts...and you may need to get your thyroid levels checked to be sure... I was dx w/ hypothyroid after his birth.. and its just one pill a day

I know when I took vitamins, especially prenatals, my hair grew so fast that a LOT fell out.
