Post Partum hair loss, has anyone experienced this? Is there anything for it and how long does it last? I am 4 months post partum had a healthy pregnancy where my hair was amazing but after baby I lose so much daily

I had post partum hair loss, it's one of those things that no one tells you about, and it can be quite distressing. I remember mine falling out in big clumps in the shower. It didn't last long, and my hair has now grown back a year later x

Ah I see, glad your hair grew back fully. Suppose I will have to ride this wave

Yes and it was awful, handfuls of hair coming out every hair wash 🙈. The good news is that it stopped for me between 5/6 months pp. Apparently you don’t lose hair when your pregnant so it all goes after you have the baby.

Hope it stops soon x

Yes me too I get clumps of hair in my hair brush after a shower with wet hair.. I'm 4 months pp so hopefully not long until it stops . Thank you

Hello I'm still losing hair and my little one is 7 months but it's gradually reducing. I don't think there's anything you can do. It's a weird side effect of pregnancy I never knew about but it was nice having thicker hair during pregnancy!

Thank you for your reply I guess its to do with hormones 😒
