Started at 3 months? Same last time too!

I'm trying to do things to help with the breakage - wearing a low ponytail instead of a high one, but it's still falling out in clumps.

I feel like I've lost 50% of my hair and I have bald spots all along my head, especially on my hair line. I can't even wear my hair back in a ponytail because all the hair around my face is gone. It's horrible. alphagam84 on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2490401 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 13:58:21 +0000 alphagam84 2490401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I started experience hair loss while pregnant, sometime in the 3rd trimester. It was ridiculous how much hair fell out. I hated showering as it would run down my body and I would have hair everywhere while trying to wash and shower! It quit though when DD was born. Lasted about 2 months I think.

I can already see the thinning around my hairline, especially near my temples. I have very thick hair but I really hope it slows down soon because I can't imagine I'll have any left if it keeps up! Also, there is hair EVERYWHERE. All over the floor, the bed, the bathroom, my office... it's so gross! sometimesshesings on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2489453 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 00:05:48 +0000 sometimesshesings 2489453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine started about a week ago! I'm already noticing little bald patches at my temples, so no ponytails for me for a long time. With DS1 I didn't notice the hair loss too much, but I did notice the short sticky-outy hairs once they started to grow back in. It's hard to ignore the hair clumps this time!

I chopped off a bunch of hair because the shedding didn't seem as bad with shorter strands of hair!

I think it stopped about 6 months postpartum FannyMae on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2489003 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 15:48:45 +0000 FannyMae 2489003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ With my first pregnancy it started a lot earlier, and I had very thin patches at my temple and hairline. My hair got really thick during this preg, it wasn't dropping at all ( even leg and underarm hair took ages to grow). I'm finding loose hair everywhere, will have to vaccuum like crazy or there will be hair like tumbleweeds all over the place! Ther growth, ughhh its gonna suck. My hair is very wavy and the regrow the comes out as fluffy curls (and they will probably be grey too)😩 oliviaoblivia on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2488395 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 09:15:17 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2488395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine stopped at four months.... But I was pregnant again. Not a solution I'd recommend. :silly: Mrs. Pickle on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2488387 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 09:10:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2488387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My hair started falling out at 4 months PP. When it started falling out I realized I stopped shedding completely during pregnancy. I'm so ready for this to be over! I think I'm going to go get it chopped. snowjewelz on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2488366 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 08:56:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2488366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ugh at 15 mo pp I feel like I'm still losing hair and my hair is so flat and limp :sad: petitenoisette on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2488355 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 08:51:45 +0000 petitenoisette 2488355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think mine was from about 2-6 months. I finally got my haircut really short and it was so much better (though it had mostly stopped failing out by then). Next time I will chop it off a lot sooner! lovehoneybee on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2488342 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 08:28:03 +0000 lovehoneybee 2488342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine's just started, too :( With my first it lasted from 3-6 months Corduroy on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2488323 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 08:12:39 +0000 Corduroy 2488323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO2 is 8 months and it stopped within the last month. This time around it started two weeks postpartum and then kicked into high gear at 3 month pp. I'm not loving the regrowth.

I got a haircut which makes it seem like less is falling out. :silly: Tidybee on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2488283 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 06:39:59 +0000 Tidybee 2488283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ugh the worst! Mine was 10 times worse with LO2. It went until about 6-7 months pp. I def had thin patches that were noticeable when I pulled my hair back. lamariniere on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2488273 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 05:19:34 +0000 lamariniere 2488273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine lasted 3-4 months both times. It's no fun. :sad: FannyMae on "Hello Post Partum Hair Loss" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hello-post-partum-hair-loss#post-2488270 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 04:16:03 +0000 FannyMae 2488270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 15 weeks post partum and today it was like someone set off an evacuation alarm on my head and half my hair has packed its bags and left the premises. I literally had a handful of hair in the drain after washing my hair :( someone remind me again how long this usually goes for? I'll be bald within the month if it continues like this!
