...when did it end? I just took a shower and realized clumps aren't coming out any more, and haven't been for a while. For me, I'd say 3.5-6 months were the worst of it.
-
About month 6, it stopped. It didn't start until about month 3, though
-
I think I'm over it now, at 7 months. I have really thick hair so I'm forever shedding but it was intense months 4-6.
I realized a few days ago I have 'wings' on the side of my head....like short hairs that stick out above my ears from hair/loss and breakage. They are terrible!
-
4-7 months I think?
-
It started around 3 months and tapered off around 6 months.
-
It was probably months 3-7 I'd say!
-
My LO is 6.5 months and I just realized it has slowed down. I think mine started around 3 months.
-
Started at 3 months and ended at 6 months. Then it took another 9 months for it to start growing back in.
-
LO is 5.5 months and I was just noticing a couple days ago that my hair isn't falling out like it was. For about three weeks we couldn't enjoy a meal in this house without a lovely side of my hair in it.
-
@Mrs. Taco: omg yes! I have this crazy fringe of baby hair around my hairline...
@Sapphiresun: here too! And I am always afraid of baby eating hair.
-
Mine started around 4 months and now, at 6 months, I have noticed it slow a little, but I still am losing a Buttload of hair. I'm hoping it stops soon!
-
It started around 3 months and ended about 7 months, it was horrible!
-
I honestly don't remember, but thank god it stopped!
-
My hair is a mess! I have a ton of "baby hairs" or broken hair right around my hairline and it just looks horrible. I think that the loss stopped around 3-4 months but the new growth needs to take it easy!
-
I have horns on my forehead! For the longest time, I thought I burned my hair with a straightening iron and it broke off! Ten I noticed my mom friend had it, too, lol
-
@Mrs. Taco: I am also suffering from wings all over!
My hair loss stopped sometime after six months
-
@Periwinkle: yes to the broken hair-it felt so weird running my hands through my hair for a while...the whole texture changed.
I'm wondering when everything will be back to normal? At least I'm not shedding like crazy any more!
-
My hair is really thick so it wasn't physically noticeable, but there was LOTS coming out every time I washed it. I'd say it slowed down some around 9-10 mo but I still now lose a lot of hair on a normal basis anyway, just not as much.
-
3-7 months!
-
I'll be 6 months PP next week and it's still horrid
-
I'd say 3-7 months were the worst. Something of a horror show. It's significantly slowed down and started to grow back - which is even more hideous at times. 10.5 months pp.
-
I totally thought I'd escaped it, I had no idea it didn't start until 3 months PP. Blah. I guess here's to another few months!
-
I'm at 6 months, and I think it's starting to slow down a bit. Month 4 was when it started getting craaaazy!
-
With my first, my hair was still falling out when I got pregnant at 7 months...but it stopped because I got pregnant so I can't say. I'm 5 1/2 months pp currently and it's falling out like crazy!
-
@ms.janedoe: ugh. me too, then at 3.5mths pp I started shedding all over the place!
-
At 4.5 months it's been falling out for the last few weeks to a month already. I can't wait for it to stop!
-
I guess I should have appreciated pregnancy hair more!
-
@MoonMoon: Me too. It's so, so bad.
-
I feel like ti just stopped at 5-6 months- it didn't last that long- but man was it gross to be losing handfuls!
-
For some reason I assumed that PP hairloss would start right away, so when it didn't, I assumed I was home free. Then I hit 3 months pp, and I seriously thought I was going to be bald before it stopped around 6 months pp. So gross. It was my second least favorite pp symptom right behind the crazy night sweats.
-
Stopped for me around 6.5 months
-
Mine started a little before 3 months PP and is going strong. I have to clean my drain every time I shower and it's usually about the size of a ping pong ball. I didn't see any real improvement in my hair during pregnancy so I thought maybe I'd avoid losing it! Blegh! No such luck. It's thin to begin with so I'm just praying it doesn't become noticable.
