I had a halo of little broken hairs around my head. As for how I noticed...my bigger question would have been, how could I have not noticed? It was coming out in clumps. I couldn't run my hands through my hair without having a clump come out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2287088 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 07:57:36 +0000 mfa_lady 2287088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed it the day DD turned 3 months old--I had on a black sweater at work. I have light hair, and I looked down to literally clumps of hair on my sweater. EW.</p> <p>Now, DD is just over 8 months old and I can tell it's slowing down. I'm still shedding more than usual, but that's better than feeling like I might go bald. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2287057 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 07:23:28 +0000 Banana330 2287057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm right in the middle of this. I'm losing tons of hair. It's everywhere. Make sure you get a filter for your shower/tub. My husband finds it everywhere, it's in the laundry and ends up in his clothes, all over our house, I seriously can't keep up with the vacuuming. Swiffer dusters actually do a pretty good job of capturing it and make my life easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2287001 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 05:19:39 +0000 lamariniere 2287001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From about 4-7 months both times. Showering becomes pretty scary. And yes, the regrowth is possibly worse since it just sticks out around your face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286991 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 03:57:55 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2286991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3 months pp it started falling out in clumps, especially when I shower. It was a very obvious and drastic change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286501 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:00:14 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2286501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg am I losing hair!! I don't know for sure when I first noticed it, but probably 2mo pp, because I'm just past 3mo now. I have long hair, so wear it up everyday &amp; I lose handfuls each time I shower. I've decided not to even bother getting it cut because I'm certain the long stuff will all fall out soon enough &amp; then I'll see what's going on with the new shorter hair. It's pretty shocking to lose this much hair each (or every other) day. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286484 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 11:46:26 +0000 kodybear 2286484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>started around 3 mo and lasted til 7 mo. hair everywhere, it came out in small chunks. i'm 13mo pp and my hair is finally grown back to where it at least kind of looks like bangs (uneven bangs... but at least its not sticking straight up anymore!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286479 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 11:43:47 +0000 Corduroy 2286479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO1 it was 3-8 months PP. With LO2 it started at 2 weeks and is getting nuts at 3 months. I know because EVERYTHING is covered in hair. I find it in baby's diaper, neck rolls. It's all in my bed, I feel it on the carpet. My vacuum is a mess. And the hair mass that ends up in the small of my back at the end of a shower is so gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286474 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 11:35:38 +0000 Mamaof2 2286474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh you will know, don't worry!</p> <p>One day you will hop in the shower and as you run conditioner thru your hair gobs and gobs will come out - mine, like others was the worst from 3-6 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286469 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 11:31:42 +0000 MCD919 2286469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, it's the worst! 3m pp until 7-8m. Then the awesome 'fringe' started growing in. DS is almost 20m and my hair still feels thinner than before. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286455 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 11:11:15 +0000 Mamasig 2286455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I've always lost tons of hair. I just stop losing so much when pregnant. I go back to normal afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286454 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 11:10:11 +0000 snowjewelz 2286454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohh yeah. It started around 4 mo and went up till like 7 mo! I spent so much time in the shower picking it up :sad: And now my baby hairs are going crazy everywhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286440 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 10:52:52 +0000 Alivoo01 2286440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It started around 4 months PP and lasted forever!!! I knew it was PP hair loss because the amount that was coming off my head was redonk. I shed normally, but this was like a new rug every day. It was gross!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286437 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 10:51:20 +0000 lilyann 2286437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After both of my kids, it was from 3 months pp-6 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286423 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 10:36:40 +0000 regberadaisy 2286423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: ugh yes. My bangs are horrible right now. I've got like 2" of hair growing at my nape. I can't win because i can't leave it down because i just leave hair everywhere. But when I put it up it looks ridiculous with this 2" mullet. 😣 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286420 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 10:35:17 +0000 blackbird 2286420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around 3 months pp. handfuls of hair come out when i wash it. it's worse about a year PP when the little pieces grow back and you get this ugly fringe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286419 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 10:35:10 +0000 regberadaisy 2286419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #1 it started around 4m and ended about 8m? Second time it started earlier around 3m and still going now at a year. :(<br /> Hair falling off in clumps at a heavier than normal rate. Tons of hair coming off during shower and brushing. Like clumps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286414 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 10:30:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 2286414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It started around 3m pp and lasted until around 6m pp. I knew because I started combing/brushing out larger chunks of hair (althought mine was never too obvious on my head), and also large chunks (like 15-20 strands at a time) in the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postpartum-hairloss#post-2286408 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 10:24:31 +0000 LindsayInNY 2286408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you have postpartum hair loss? If so, when did it start and how did you know? </p>
