Month after having my son my hair started falling out badly, and nearly 7 months on it still is, have had tests and everything done, its getting so bad, im getting little wispy bits front of my hairline, i dread washing my hair coz handfulls and handfulls fall out, i wake up in the morning with loads of it on my pillow, im not low on iron so im not sure why its still doing it

time xmas comes ill be bald!!

never had this with my daughter!!

Hiya, I got this with my son..he is my first born.. it's only just stopped and he's over 7 months now. My hair was literally coming out by the handful, when I was in the shower loads would come out..it's lucky that I have a lot of hair otherwise I think it would have been really noticeable! I asked my hair dresser when I last went and she said it was totally normal and many women get it after having babies and that the wispy hair regrowth is normal as well. Don't worry it will stop, it's just your hormones getting back on track I suppose! x

Thanks, just after months of seeing my hair come out in handfulls it can be rather daunting x

I know, it's horrible isn't it..I started to worry a lot too but one day it just stopped, hopefully it does for you soon xx

I had this after Thomas too, from when I stopped bf at 3 months until he was around 7 months old it came up in handfulls. I actually developed noticable bald/thin patches around my hairline . It has started again this time but nowhere near as bad (yet ). The hair did start to regrow quite well but I think getting pg so soon again has stopped it fully regrowing. I'm hoping it will grow back properly now.

I had this too. from when my son was 4 months old until he was around 6 to 7 months when it stopped

I dont feel so bad now, all my friends dont seem to have suffered from it, i just hope it stops soon, my diet isnt the best, so will try and improve that aswell xx

my hair used to come out abit but since having finlay it seems to be alot more dont think i will be bald in a hurry cos its so thick but i hope it stops soon or it i will be in trouble lol

i have really thick hair but its coming out in handfuls, ive also got these really annoying wispy hairs at the hairline, im not sure if its new hair or hair thats snapped off.

All through pregnancy my hair fell out and after callum was born people said it would stop but it didnt then around when callum turned 12months i have new hair growing i asked at my hair dressers its wierd and she said u will get hair bk around the 12month mark xx

Mine is where its snapped off, looks really silly, just sticks up lol x

my hair used to be like this if it carries on for another 5 months, i dread to think wat state it will be in

my hair is so thick and i have 3 crowns... i wash mines and then spend a good 10 mins after my shower cleaning the plug hole! it falls out in clumps too

Mine is still falling out It's driving me mad. I suffered from Alopecia throughout my teenage years and I got a bit in my third trimester so I'm used to it falling out. However I haven't had it since she was born and it didn't start falling out until Amelia stopped BF at around 12 months. It's still coming out randomly now she's 17 months. I'm lucky in that my hair is thick but I'm sick of the regrowth.

yeh mine did this too. especially round my hairline. I agree its awful. I remember crying one day because I was exhausted and I was sick of hoovering all my hair off the floor. its horrible.

Mine did the same, it was embarrassing especially at the hairdresser but she said its normal!
In the end I had to have lots cut of very blunt to try and make it look thicker, I am sure it was about a year when it started to look ok again!

It is completely back to normal now thank goodness!
