Hair falling out....

I'm a new mum to a 4 months old and I was wondering when does the pregnancy hair stop falling out??

I have shoulder length hair and pretty stressed out due to other issues.

My hair is falling out in clumps when brushing and even more so when washing it. I'm talking a palmful to the point I can use it as hair extensions.

When does this mass stop or should it have stop by now and I need to seek medical advice?

Mine started about 3 months in and stopped after about 8 weeks. It can feel really alarming at how much is falling out and how quickly, but I promise it's part and parcel of post partum and it won't be so bad once it's stopped.

A few weeks after it's calmed down, you'll notice tiny baby hairs growing back... They're a pain coz they're so short and mine are curly so they stick out Grin but it will grow back, don't panic!
