As the title - is this amount of hair loss post partum normal? I had my 3rd baby in October and I don’t remember it being anywhere near as drastic as this. This is after washing my hair in the shower, last washed it on Monday night and brush several times a day.

It’s been like this for about 3 weeks now, I feel like there won’t be a hair left on my head if this continues. My hair already feels so much thinner, even thinner than pre pregnancy :(

Normal. I lose that much hair every time I wash it. I am ferritin deficient though so that probably doesn’t help

Looks very normal to me. I lost way more.

I had bald patches all around my hairline after each pregnancy. I did see the gp and he said it was normal but right on the edge of normal.

I once showed my post natal hairline to a group of teenagers, they all visibly recoiled with an ewwww. :)

It comes back but if you're concerned it might be worth a visit to the gp?
