Excessive hair loss second baby

Hey lovelies! This is a bit of a big thing for me and I know it’s only hair and it will grow back but it’s a massive part of my identity. With my first born (little boy) I lost hair but it wasn’t this bad now with my second born ( little girl) I am losing so much hair it’s crazy! I only went for a shower and I clogged the plug hole. Is hair loss worst with the second baby or worst with girls? Could it be something to do with my hormones? Honestly starting to feel self conscious and my hair is getting thin and Iv always had thick hair that hairdressers hate 🤣

I had a massive amount of hair loss after my second child and I ended up having thyroid issues, low iron and low vitamin d. With this amount of hair loss I would recommend a visit to your primary care provider to see what they say 🙂

I’m also struggling with huge amount of hair loss, even 9 months after

It is normal unfortunately. All you can do is maintain a healthy diet, take all the necessary vitamins and don't over wash it

It was the opposite way round for me, I lost a lot of hair following having my firstborn. Then didn't lose much with my secondborn. I'm not sure if there's any rhyme or reason to it🤷🏼‍♀️
