How long did it take for your hair to grow back after losing it after pregnancy?

My second DC is now 16 months and my hair still hasn't fully grown back. With my first it was definitely all growing back by the time she was one.
This time it has grown back in places but not in others. In particular at the front and even my eyebrows are wider apart Shock miraculously my moustache has stay put BlushGrin
Has anyone else found it worse second time or that it didn't grow back at all? Did consider speaking to my GP in case it's a sign of some deficiency but feel it's probably not seen as important at the minute.

That sounds about right to to me. Pretty sure my boys were about two before my widows peak stopped being a widows peak!

Having said that, since pregnancy (10 years since) my hair has never been thicker.

My baby hairs around my hair line are still short and sporadic- youngest child is 12,

It hasn’t ever grown back to how it was before or during pregnancy, sadly

I’m such an idiot, you said second so you’re probably aware!

Mine did come back, eventually, after my third. It took a while.

It hasn't tbh. I'm having my 3rd and dread to think what it will be like after this one.

Mine never did. Sorry to tell you, but I lost loads with my second pregnancy and it only came back very fine. Three more dc and I was/am bald on top. It's just like very fine baby hair.
It was a lot more noticeable at the time as I had dark, longer hair. Now it's grey and I keep it very very short so it's not as noticeable.
