I worry about my LO eating hair and my not realizing it. I ALWAYS catch tiny strands of hair sticking to her lips and I frantically wonder, "What if she ate it?!?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6465 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:01:28 +0000 chopsuey 6465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice to know I'm not the only one shedding like a dog. I've been super anal about sweeping/vacuuming up my hairs because I found a long strand of my hair in my LO's poop! She swallowed a hair! Felt like a terrible mom... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6220 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 20:53:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 6220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had great pregnancy hair too! then of course it fell out in chunks. i think my hair stopped falling out around 10 months after i weaned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6219 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 20:34:57 +0000 SAHM0811 6219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with my first, the hair loss wasn't that bad... it came on at around 4-5 months and lasted a few weeks.</p> <p>this time though, it came on at 2 months postpartum, and is still going strong (3.5 months postpartum). i wake up to hair on my pillow and it's really bad in the shower and when i brush... and like a previous poster mentioned, you can see it on the floors around our apt no matter how much it try to sweep, etc... my hair is everywhere!! don't know when it will let up :(</p> <p>i also heard that the baby loses hair too, but this hasn't really been the case with my two girls. they both had a ton of hair at birth anyway (and i mean, a ton!), so even if they lost some, it's hardly noticeable b/c they have so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6218 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 20:25:47 +0000 geekinheels 6218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I too, had/have the best hair of my life when pregnant, and my post-partum hair loss started at about 2 months PP. My hair was falling out in CHUNKS and every time I took a shower the drain looked like a small rodent died on it. I lost so much hair that when the lost hair began to grow back in, both my mom and my hair stylist asked why I tried to cut my own bangs (and I still have those "accidental" bangs).</p> <p>I'm not sure exactly when the post-partum hair loss would have stopped naturally, because I became pregnant just 3 months after giving birth...so I guess we'll see this time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6178 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:46:16 +0000 sandsandmore 6178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved my pregnant hair. Most of my PP hair loss happened about 5-7 months post baby. Sad times in the shower seeing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6156 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:23:16 +0000 mrsjyw 6156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have really thick hair, when I tie it in a pony tail; it literally look's like a horse's tail. LOL. My mom told me that she had the same hair and that after both pregancies, she lost a lot of it. She has pretty thin hair hair now. I'm hoping that my ample supply of hair will carry me through the hair loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6141 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:23:31 +0000 yin 6141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh the hair loss... my LO is 6 months old, and I am still shedding like crazy. Is there any hair even left on my head? I feel bad for my husband and LO who have to see my hair all over the floor in every single room of the house. I try my best to clean up, but I can never keep up with the rate that my hair falls out. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6138 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:06:48 +0000 MegWag 6138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I understand it's pretty common ... a big shed post-partum. So you're basically catching up by losing all the hair you hung on to during pregnancy.<br /> I have to say though, I am 21 weeks and am still losing as much hair as ever! I already had pretty thick hair, but I was looking forward to the awesome pregnancy hair that you always hear about... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6122 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:23:20 +0000 hreichard 6122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering if i was the only one. I mean it's when i shampoo it and brush it the most. It doesnt just fall out in clumps, but i was just curious if this happened to anyone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6109 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 07:53:02 +0000 Rubies 6109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was preggo, my hair was the most beautiful hair...Shiny, soft, perfect. I didn't lose a single strand - not in the shower, not when brushing. NOW, 12 weeks post partum, in the shower and when I brush it, or when I pull my hair elastic off, a few strands fall. Nothing crazy but I'm sure this is the beginning of something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-loss#post-6106 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 06:39:29 +0000 hreichard 6106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know they say most women get thick beautiful hair when they are pregnant, which was definitely true for me.</p> <p>Did you get thick hair? Also, i noticed that a little over 3 months later now my hair is falling out like crazy.</p> <p>Did this happen to anyone else?! </p>
