I will say it definitely a lot better then months 4 6, which seemed to be the worst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-363758 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 03:38:58 +0000 loveisstrange 363758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started at 3 months pp and lasted about 3 months. I have super thick, curly hair so I didn't even notice it get thinner. :( Boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-363754 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 01:46:34 +0000 Ree723 363754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine just started the past two weeks or so (LO is 4 months) and there is hair EVERYWHERE. It is driving me absolutely crazy! I'm constantly picking hair of DD and I don't even want to talk about how much hair I pull out of the drain every day. </p> <p>I have super thick hair so I haven't noticed any thin spots but I hope it starts tapering off before too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-363712 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:19:03 +0000 pastemoo 363712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: I don't know.

I think it started around 3 months PP and continued through to 5 months PP. Now the rate of hair loss has really slowed, and it's starting to grow back in again. I'm glad it stopped b/c my hair was starting to get really thin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-363654 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 21:17:15 +0000 pinkcupcake 363654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine FINALLY stopped about a month ago, at 7 months PP! I'm no longer losing clumps of hair on a daily basis - hooray! </p> <p>I do have a pretty ugly bald spot in the front though, and I have all these little hairs growing back that are sticking straight up. So hideous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-363649 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 21:14:57 +0000 Weagle 363649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started around 3 months pp, and I think it's starting to slow down now at almost 6 months pp. I'm still losing more than I would like, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-363526 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:24:15 +0000 pastemoo 363526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 months pp and my poor hair is THIN!

It is bbaaaadddddd. Like nuts. Hair everywhere. Falling out in clumps!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-363252 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:03:50 +0000 twinmama 363252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just going to ask this question. Mine started immediately, and hair still comes out by the handful whenever I brush it, shower, pull it back in to a ponytail, anything! I had thick hair to begin with, and I guess it got super thick while pregnant, because it's definitely not thin. But I'm sick of my hair being everywhere and ready for it to stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-272014 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:11:09 +0000 luckypenny 272014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee @sammyfab : why the hairline, right?!

I just lost the same amount I used to lose before I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-271877 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 08:12:33 +0000 cvbee 271877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 4 months PP and I think I'm in denial. I have been telling myself that I used to lose this much hair in the shower pre-pregnancy and that I'm just not used to it because it slowed during pregnancy. But now reading this thread I think it's definitely started and perhaps the worst is yet to come. And I already have a huge forehead naturally....this better not affect my hairline....maybe it's time to go back to having bangs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-271876 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 08:11:30 +0000 Mrs.M57 271876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 4 mos pp and I don't think I've experienced it luckily, sorry I'm no help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-271839 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 03:25:58 +0000 loveisstrange 271839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started at 3 months pp and has been going strong for 2 months.

My hairline is literally receding in two parts! WHAT!?! I have super thick hair to begin with too. I can only part my hair down the middle. It just started when DD with 3.5 months old and I think its only gotten worse (she's now 4 months).

Everytime I pass my hand in my hair I have a handfull. I have 5-7 handfulls of hair a day. In the shower it's worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-271765 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:46:32 +0000 mrstilly 271765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really only noticed it in the shower. During the shower handfuls would come out and our hair catcher over the drain would be totally clogged with hair. It really took a long time for that to slow down. Now it's maybe one handful per shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-the-postpartum-hair-loss-last#post-271762 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 21:43:25 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 271762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Superhero: Really?!
