I didnt lose any. I take 6000 IUs of Vitamin D, 2 prenatals, and choline every day, and Im convinced its from the Vitamin D and prenatals. My hair also STOPPED growing during pregnancy. It was so weird. I had to shave my legs/bikini line/armpits like every 3 weeks, and that was just to remove a little stubble. I dont get it. I also read a blog post by someone a long long time ago who SWEARS by using Redken Extremé Anti-Snap leave-in treatment.

@BabyLove: @mekarual: Did your hair stop falling out as much when you were pregnant? I think what happens is our hair stops falling out when we're pregnant and then we have too much of it after pregnancy. Unfortunately, it seems like it's all falling out at once when it does come out b/c it doesn't just come out slowly. I'm so nervous about this happening because I'm just like you two - thin hair to begin with!

@mediagirl- yes, my hair was never really flowy and full like I was hoping for (lol) but I definitely noticed that I rarely shed any hair while I was pregnant. I still take my pre-natals (because I'm nursing) so I thought that would buy me some timebefore it started falling out- nope!

Prenatals really help. You can't stop the hair shedding (it's actually not falling out and you won't go bald) the extra hair that you grew while pregnant. Cutting it won't help anything since it's the roots that are shedding the hair. It's not like you're getting horrid spit ends or something.

Be good to your hair, don't brush it when it's wet, use a good conditioner, don't use cheap hair elastics and take vitamins

YES! I have the same problem, and honestly I didn't think it would be this bad! My hair grew lush and beautiful when I was preggo, and now 4 months pp it plugs up the drain immediately! I've been regular with my Vitamins and still lose hair. Dr said its due to the changes in estrogen levels that u had when u were pregnant and now that you're not. I gave in and chopped it all off just so it would be more manageable.

I just hit 12 weeks PP, and literally last week it started falling out. Probably more like it used to prior to pregnancy, but it stopped falling out while I was pregnant. My hair got so thick and I loved it, but it's heading back to where it was before baby. I take prenatals still, but it's still falling out.

I am going on a good 4-6 weeks of really bad hair loss. It helps to comb through it in the shower and get as much dead stuff out as I can so I don't walk around with clumps of hair on my back.

I was freaking out when I lost my hair... right around the hairline, and before my brother's wedding. I was 3 months PP. It was terrible. It's grown back now, but just barely.
