I lost a normal amount of hair (same as pre-baby). I had super long hair though. After I cut off about 6 inches, I noticed a decrease in shedding.
I don't remember when it started, but I think within the first week?

I did. But I was also taking a medication that makes you lose your hair so I never really knew what was at fault.

Mine didn't become noticeable until about 3 months, but since then, I've been losing it by the handful. I'm pretty sure I'll be bald soon if it doesn't slow down. I'm 5 months pp.

At 4 months postpartum my hair started falling out in crazy clumps (especially in the shower)...It was GROSS. Now, at 7.5 months postpartum, I am noticing that the shedding is slowing down.

I lost a ton...To the point where my shower could not drain and I had bold spots:(. I had to get a real short hair style to minimize the noticeability of the shedding. However, I'm not entirely sure if it was all post-partum related. I was also suffering from I thyroid condition an taking medication that cause hair loss.

Nothing yet for me at 2 months out- I did notice that I don't have to shave my legs nearly as often since the baby arrived.
A friend of mine said her hair loss started at 3 months pp.

@autumnlove: I've been meaning to post about this! I'm so glad you made this thread!
I was 3 months post partum when the hair loss started. I'm now 6 months post partum and it's still pretty bad. I have really thick hair anyway but it's still a lot worse than it was pre-pregnancy.

I'm the same as most other posters. It started around 3 months and now I'm almost at 6 and it still comes out in clumps. It is so gross.
