Hair loss

Anyone else dealing with this? i lost tons of hair with my first son and was noticeable around my temples so I couldn't wear ponytails for a while. This time I feel chunks of hair are falling out whenever I brush. I'm starting to notice bald spots in the front. It looks awful. I wish I can wear a hat everyday.

Chunks fall out. DH has to clean the drain in the tub once a week because it gets clogged with all that falls out.

YES! I am dealing with this right now...I hate it! When will this part of the "beauty of having a baby" be over? Anyone know?

My friend said it stopped for her around the 6 month mark. When this has been discussed before, I believe other STMs agreed.

I am losing so much and it's starting to show in my temples. : DH swept up a huge ball of it in our second bathroom, where we shower but I don't do my hair in there. I'm shedding without brushing or showering!

I was just wondering this myself. My hair is really thick and curly so I'm not noticing any bald spots but I'm losing a ton of hair... a lot more than normal.

I have thick hair so it isn't very noticable but I started losing lots of hair a few days ago. It was the same last time.

It started for me just before Halloween.  I don't know how I'm not bald yet.  I try not to wash my hair as much but I think it just saves up for the next time and I lose twice as much.  This is my 3rd time dealing w/ it and I want to say that I have about another month till it's done ????

Going through it now too! Haven't noticed any bald spots though.
DH thanked me very sarcastically the other day for "the dead rat" he had to pull out of the bathtub drain...

I've been losing hair by the handful! It didn't state until about a month ago though, so I'm slightly confused and wondering if it could be related to something else. Did anyone else start losing hair after LO was 2mo old? I thought this was suppose to happen right after they are born.

Mine didn't start until a few weeks ago. I thought it started right after giving birth so then I thought I might have gotten out of it! No such luck!

Yes, I am losing hair too. By the handful. It is not visible yet, but I am pretty sure that I'll have a few thin spots soon too if it won't stop soon. Also, we are cleaning the drain once a week now. It is pretty nasty.

I just started losing my hair a couple weeks ago as well. I didn't think I was going to lose my hair because my haie stopped growing while I was pregnant. Oh well at least I havw thick hair.

Mine just started within the past 2-3 weeks. I was so hoping to avoid it, but no such luck. I have thick, curly hair, so I'll be pleased if it's harder to tell. But I can definitely feel the difference.

After I had my daughter I didn't have hair loss, but hair breakage. My hair was so thin and brittle. It was terrible! I had to get it cut shorter than I'd ever had just so it didn't look like utter crap.

Mine started about a week ago. I don't remember how long it was with ds, but I remember it happening. I don't have bald spots, but I feel bad for dd. Dh noticed an inch or so of hair sticking out of her mouth and started pulling. He got the full length out of her, the poor thing.
