And I lost a similar amount during my first trimester, so my hair is just going to be a hot mess for a while. I'm over it and just want the stupid baby hairs to stop being crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-861047 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 05:50:47 +0000 sotofamilia 861047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At almost four months PP, my hair loss is ridiculous. I have it constantly in a ponytail like PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-861038 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 04:37:24 +0000 Ginabean3 861038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is starting now! 4 months PP....ugh it's so gross when I am washing my hair in the shower! I cant stand to have it down since it falls all over the place. It's constantly in a ponytail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-861018 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 02:11:43 +0000 erinpye 861018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bunch of mine just fell out in the front (where the baby hairs are) at 4 months PP, and then slowly grew back, but the crazy shedding didn't continue past that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860951 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 22:58:51 +0000 lovehoneybee 860951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was the worst between 3-6 months and tapered off after that. I still feel like it's on the thinner side, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860901 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 22:16:18 +0000 photojane 860901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: It WAS. Now it's so awful &amp; sad. I also noticed my first white hair the other day. It was white as a piece of paper... right up front. I'm losing my hair by the handful, the hairs I do have are turning white, can't remember a dang thing, and still pee when I sneeze... I'm officially a 90-year-old woman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860883 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 22:04:52 +0000 autumnlove 860883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: Your hair looks so thick and lustrous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860878 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 22:00:58 +0000 photojane 860878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just want to weep. The amount of hair I lose everyday is alarming. Like huge chunks. My ponytail is feel like a freakin' spaghetti noodle. WAAAAAH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860875 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 21:58:09 +0000 autumnlove 860875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: I remember those baby hairs!

I guess I have a ways to go before it stops... It's sooo disgusting.</p> <p>I don't remember it being this bad with my first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860679 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:01:56 +0000 fancyfunction 860679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started at 3 mo pp and still going strong at 6 mo. I feel like I can make wigs out of the hair I'm losing! I'm just happy my hair's so thick or I'd have huge bald spots by now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860669 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:53:57 +0000 littlebug 860669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day D turned 3 months old, I started shedding, out of control. I swear, you could wig a Barbie with the hair I lose on a daily basis. Hoping it slows down soon! </p> <p>ETA: Currently 5 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860663 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:48:22 +0000 Penny Lane 860663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine started almost immediately, think like 3 weeks PP, and stopped at around 5 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860653 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:43:00 +0000 anbanan15 860653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bald spots!!! Major major bald spots. My hair dresser gave me a shampoo that was supposed to help regrowth for balding individuals. I can't remember when it started falling out bit it really slowed down once my doctor realized my thyroid was messed up and I started medication. One of the common side effects of the meds is hairlose, once my thyroid regulated and I adjusted to the meds it stopped, ~8 mo pp. &lt;-- not sure how much of mine was pp hairlose vs thyroid related though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860633 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:19:08 +0000 Mrs. Deer 860633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started 3 months PP and now at 6 months is starting to slow down. Sometimes I'm amazed I even have hair left at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860632 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:17:08 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 860632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say mine stopped at 6m? But then again, that is also when I got 4inches chopped off and a ton of body. My hair was lighter and I left it down a lot more after that. Maybe that helped reduce the falling out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860629 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:14:05 +0000 matador84 860629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started at about 4 or 5 months losing hair and it's still going on 9 months pp. My hair is pretty long, mid-back or a little longer--so I think that makes it worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860626 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:08:07 +0000 edelweiss 860626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>started around 2 months (or earlier), and at 5 months, still going very, very, very strong </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860623 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:03:04 +0000 bamblm 860623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me 3-6 months was the worst. At seven months, it is probably back to normal, but I feel like I did not shed a single hair for nine months of pregnancy, so it still feels like a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860621 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:00:02 +0000 MrsF 860621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 8 months pp and I think the worst was 4-7 months? Now of course I have a layer full of fuzzy little baby hairs sort of over my hair and an inch and a half of baby bangs on my forehead. Horrible. Also, M always has at least one or two of my hairs in her little fist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860591 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 18:21:30 +0000 Katrocap 860591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started at 3 months PP and still going strong 2 months later. So gross! Also leg and underarm hair isn't really growing, so I don't have to worry about shaving. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860584 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 18:11:52 +0000 luckypenny 860584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From 2-6 months it was terrible!! I mean really bad. I'm 14 months pp now and I finally feel like its been normal for a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860377 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:58:51 +0000 erwoo 860377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt like it was worse after I had my second baby. The itty bitty flying hair is finally half way down my face 14 months pp. I'm still losing quite a bit though but it's probably normal. I just don't remember what normal is anymore. They say it's normal to lose about 100 strands of hair a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860373 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:54:43 +0000 mamimami 860373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clicked on this because I'm at a new salon right now getting my hairs did and grossing everyone out with all my shedding. I have explained now to two people that I have a baby and that's why! 8 months pp and the shed is worse than ever. Started around 5 months. Who knows when it will end? Thank God I have a lot of hair, otherwise I'd probably be bald by now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860351 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:26:59 +0000 chopsuey 860351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hair loss wasn't bad at all both times.<br /> I think I started shedding again 2 months ago?<br /> Losing the same amount as I used to before babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860348 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:26:18 +0000 shopaholic 860348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started about a month ago (2 months pp) and it's just ridiculous how much hair I lose every day! I feel like I could spin yarn out if it - it comes out continuously if I run my hands through my hair! I go through 4 swiffer sheets in just our bedroom every day picking up hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860346 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:25:40 +0000 MrsStar 860346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started about 3 months and at almost 9 months pp its finally stopped. I was starting to think I would lose it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-pp-hair-loss#post-860336 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:20:32 +0000 autumnlove 860336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started shedding after my first pregnancy at 4 months PP. It stopped when I got pregnant at almost 8 months PP. I wonder if it would have continued for a few more months? </p>
