Postpartum hair loss!!

My baby’s just turned 4 months last week and I’ve been having consistent hair loss for about a month now. I’ve lost big patches at the front and am worried it’ll never end 😫 sick of finding hair on absolutely everything I wear, touch, sit on and all over my little boy. Anyone else going through this or when will it stop?!

Yes! Mine started at the three months mark and most of the girls in my bump and baby group are going through the same too. I had the same thing a year ago three months after I got really sick. It’s called Telogen Effluvium and happens around 3-4 months after giving birth - it’s scary how much hair falls out BUT I will say even if it feels like it won’t, don’t stress too much about it cause it does just all grow back because it’s just a bunch of your hair shifting to a shedding phase early! It can take over 6months to resolve itself but it is temporary!! I will say though when it starts growing back - the baby hair stage was quite hard to manage 😅

Same 😭 it’s been going on since 6 weeks postpartum and it just keeps falling out! From experience, it does stop and it does grow back x

YES oh my god I dread washing my hair with how much falls out 🤣 I’ve bought some bits and bobs but I guess it’s pretty much hormonal and guess out of our control, hoping it settles down soon 🤞🏼
