15 weeks post partum and today it was like someone set off an evacuation alarm on my head and half my hair has packed its bags and left the premises. I literally had a handful of hair in the drain after washing my hair 
someone remind me again how long this usually goes for? I'll be bald within the month if it continues like this!

Mine lasted 3-4 months both times. It's no fun.
-
Ugh the worst! Mine was 10 times worse with LO2. It went until about 6-7 months pp. I def had thin patches that were noticeable when I pulled my hair back.
-
Mine has just started too! I got a haircut which makes it seem like less is falling out.
-
LO2 is 8 months and it stopped within the last month. This time around it started two weeks postpartum and then kicked into high gear at 3 month pp. I'm not loving the regrowth.
-
Mine's just started, too
With my first it lasted from 3-6 months
-
I think mine was from about 2-6 months. I finally got my haircut really short and it was so much better (though it had mostly stopped failing out by then). Next time I will chop it off a lot sooner!
-
Ugh at 15 mo pp I feel like I'm still losing hair and my hair is so flat and limp
-
My hair started falling out at 4 months PP. When it started falling out I realized I stopped shedding completely during pregnancy. I'm so ready for this to be over! I think I'm going to go get it chopped.
-
Mine stopped at four months.... But I was pregnant again. Not a solution I'd recommend.
-
With my first pregnancy it started a lot earlier, and I had very thin patches at my temple and hairline. My hair got really thick during this preg, it wasn't dropping at all ( even leg and underarm hair took ages to grow). I'm finding loose hair everywhere, will have to vaccuum like crazy or there will be hair like tumbleweeds all over the place! Ther growth, ughhh its gonna suck. My hair is very wavy and the regrow the comes out as fluffy curls (and they will probably be grey too)
-
Mine felt like it lasts forever. I think it stopped about 6 months postpartum
-
Mine lasted about 3 months. I chopped off a bunch of hair because the shedding didn't seem as bad with shorter strands of hair!
-
Mine started about a week ago! I'm already noticing little bald patches at my temples, so no ponytails for me for a long time. With DS1 I didn't notice the hair loss too much, but I did notice the short sticky-outy hairs once they started to grow back in. It's hard to ignore the hair clumps this time!
-
My LO is 4.5 months... my hair has been falling out since 3 months, but now it's been coming out in clumps for 2 weeks. I can already see the thinning around my hairline, especially near my temples. I have very thick hair but I really hope it slows down soon because I can't imagine I'll have any left if it keeps up!
Also, there is hair EVERYWHERE. All over the floor, the bed, the bathroom, my office... it's so gross!
-
I started experience hair loss while pregnant, sometime in the 3rd trimester. It was ridiculous how much hair fell out. I hated showering as it would run down my body and I would have hair everywhere while trying to wash and shower! It quit though when DD was born. Lasted about 2 months I think.
-
I'm 6 months post partum and still losing insane amounts. I feel like I've lost 50% of my hair and I have bald spots all along my head, especially on my hair line. I can't even wear my hair back in a ponytail because all the hair around my face is gone. It's horrible.
-
I'm in the thick of this now
With LO1, it started at 4 months PP and lasted until 9 months PP. I'm trying to do things to help with the breakage - wearing a low ponytail instead of a high one, but it's still falling out in clumps.
-
The state of my basin after drying and brushing this morning - this is after losing double the amount in the shower.
-
It's pretty much done now at almost 6 months. Started at 3 months? Same last time too!
