Does everyone get post partum hair loss?

I know I shouldn’t worry too much but I’m due in a week and a half and I’ve seen many of my friends suffer with PP hair loss - one of which has had it very severe! I already have very fine hair naturally where you can see my scalp so what worries me is I’ll potentially be left almost entirely bald in areas. My question is, did you suffer PP hair loss? I’d love to hear a mixed bag of experiences..

Yes I lost masses but my hair is thick and wavy . When it grew back I had 2 hairstyles at the same time - my normal style and a pixie cut underneath! Gave lots of root lift to my proper style .
My then hairdresser charmingly told me that he had never seen such a sever case.

Yes, from around 3m post partum. But there was more loss from around the front (especially the sides) rather than all-over thinning. I didn't really feel it was that noticeable until the little wispy hairs started growing back!

Around the temples! That's what I meant Confused my brain is broken.
