It was AWFUL - so, so much hair fell out!<br /> @Meowkers: mine's grown back - but I have a ton of little baby hairs as it is all growing in again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1768552 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 20:43:57 +0000 Meowkers 1768552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh no this really scares me.

So annoying!</p> <p> Mine fell out a ton from about 4-7 months pp. I ended up chopping a lot off which really helped. I was getting sick of swiffering 5 times a day. At 11m pp it still is coming out but not that much more than before I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1768489 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 19:46:23 +0000 Canoli 1768489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: ha! I forgot about those lovely bangs! </p> <p>I'm 13 weeks pp and I've noticed it this week. My hair is so thin to begin with so I'm not looking forward to this.</p> <p>I can't remember how long it lasted with my first but I remember thinking my hair just looked icky for a long time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1768377 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:28:59 +0000 lovehoneybee 1768377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine lasted from 3m-6m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1768326 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:05:09 +0000 sorrycharlie 1768326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gilmoregirl: those little drain "hat" looking things work well too!! it sits over the drain and catches all the hair but lets the water drain still. saves the drain a little bit, though it doesn't catch it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1768306 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:54:31 +0000 gilmoregirl 1768306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: oh geez.

I lost very little hair while I was pregnant though so I was definitely making up for it!</p> <p>@gilmoregirl: I called the hair along my hairline peach fuzz! I hated it. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1768220 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 16:54:09 +0000 gilmoregirl 1768220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: ugh, I'm afraid this could be me too. I've always lost lots of hair but it slowed when I was pregnant and now is way worse.<br /> @Foodnerd81: I have really attractive wispy baby hair bangs around my hairline now so I'm looking forward to this stage. Oh boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1768036 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 15:01:07 +0000 autumnlove 1768036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started 4 months after LO 2 and 3 months after LO 1. I shed heavily until 7-8 months PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1768024 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:57:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 1768024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup started around 4 months it so, lasted several months. Now at a year I have 1-2 inch long pieces all around my hairline. Very annoying. Any my hair is pretty thin to begin with! </p> <p>The baby hairs have gotten long enough that sometimes they look like really short, thin, awful bangs. It's a hot look. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1768015 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:52:27 +0000 LovelyPlum 1768015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh oh, this scares me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1768002 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:46:56 +0000 Weagle 1768002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It lasted a few months for me. Then it took a really long time for it to fill back in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767990 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:43:33 +0000 Anagram 1767990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started up around 4 months and got better around 6 months, and then came back with a vengeance around 10 months (maybe also because it was summer?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767986 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:42:43 +0000 avivoca 1767986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was hardcore for maybe two months, and now at nine months pp it is much better. I have thick hair anyway, and the most noticable part is where my hair fell out by my temples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767985 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:42:34 +0000 matador84 1767985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It started about 5 months for me with both kids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767983 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:41:53 +0000 Smurfette 1767983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It lasted awhile for me. 5-6 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767982 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:41:46 +0000 MoonMoon 1767982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was horrible! From around 3 months to 6 or 7 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767978 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:41:19 +0000 Emsmems 1767978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started about 3.5 months pp and isn't as dramatic now (at 6 months) but it's still falling out more than pre-pregnancy. I'm still breast feeding, I don't know if that makes a difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767976 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:41:04 +0000 PurplePeony 1767976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started Around 3.5 months PP and lasted about 1.5-2 months. After that, it tapered back down to a normal rate. It was awful when I was going through it, though. And now I'm dealing with regrowth and frizz/wingy bits, ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767975 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:40:43 +0000 tysonja 1767975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah... one of my least favourite things about having babies!</p> <p>i don't have thick hair to begin with, so it's not a great look for me. haha.</p> <p>anyway, for both my kids it started around 4 months and lasted till 7 months pp. LOTS of hair fell out....every day :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767956 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:36:44 +0000 mrsjyw 1767956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The chunks of hair falling out still happens to me, but I have TONS of hair and had this problem even prior to post partum. It just got worse pp. The hair loss I can't stand that has finally grown out is the spark plugs along my hairline! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767939 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:29:30 +0000 sweetooth 1767939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like it lasted forever. It seemed to taper off around 4 months for me - so a month after I stopped breast feeding. Not sure if that's related at all.</p> <p>Now I feel like all of the hairs that broke off are growing back and I have weird wings of hair when I pull my hair into a ponytail. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hair-loss-2#post-1767908 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:19:40 +0000 gilmoregirl 1767908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you have this? How long did it last?</p> <p>My hair has been falling out at an alarming rate since LO was just before three months. So a few weeks now. I have thick hair to begin with so it looks fine, but it's driving me crazy. </p>
