Postnatal hair shedding- when you haven't just had a baby??

[opalescent]

I'm having a period of hair shedding at the moment- I suppose it's not hugely dramatic, but I'm definitely losing more hair than normal, and my scalp is itchy. It's been going on for about ten days.
I'm noticing lots of hair in the bath after a shower, lots on the floor when I vacuum, and those annoying strands always lurking on my shoulder/back etc.

It's exactly the same as the hair loss I had after each of my babies. I can't think of anything that could be causing it though? My youngest is 1.5years. I haven't recently changed medication, been dramatically ill, or been under a lot of stress?

Has anyone else experienced this?

That’s unusual as postnatal hair loss usually occurs 3 months post delivery . I’d say that you should see your GP to outrule something like hypothyroidism or a hormonal imbalance etc

I did wonder about that...I have been trying not to worry and hoping it'll pass, but perhaps I should see the dr. Thank you.
