4 month old DD.... my hair is now falling out in clumps

[Nemo1977]

mmmm I know this can happen but is it usual to only start 4mths postnatal? My hair is coming out in clumps. There are hairs everywhere, all over my pillow, when I washed my hair this morning there was huge amounts coming out, at least 4 times my normal loss.

dont worry! its just the extra hair you grew whilst preggers.
i experienced it too!
whilst you are preg u shed hardly any hair, so now it all comes out at once.
you wont go bald!
:)

Mine suddenly started doing it around then too I think, I distinctly remember starting a thread just like this a few months back... in which I went AAAAAAAARGH!

I've taken to wearing headscarves I hope yours doesn't fall out too much!!

(I never grew extra hair while preggers!! It's now just extra whispy, yay!!)

mine started molting at about 4 months.

my hair is really thick but never had this hair loss with ds. Glad to know its reasonably normal.

FA poor you with the headscarves..maybe it will grow back soon.

S'ok nemo! I look a bit like a movie star with my bandana/scarf thing and big sunglasses!! Quite like the look atm, will get bored of it though I'm sure lol...

yours will be fine, most people's is! :)

Nemo, I have experienced similar. I have long hair and all through pg was losing more than usual - on hair brush and when washing etc. After ds was born I had more loss for few months. I spoke to my hairdresser who said it was normal.
It does make you feel bad I know. Try some vitamin tabs for healthy hair and nails etc. I have tried this, it makes me feel better if nothing else!
