Has anyone else had a problem of hair loss after pregnancy? What do to in this case?

I am now 15 weeks post partum after delivering my baby in March. Since the past 5 weeks I have been having hair loss. When I wash my hair, I usually get a rope of hair falling in the tub, and when I comb it, I get a few rope strands. Is this normal after pregnancy, has anyone else had this problem. I have heard it's something to do with the hormones getting back to their old self. Anyone have any advice for what you did, or how long it took for the shedding to stop? I have long hair right now about till the middle of my back. This Saturday I am getting them cut to shoulder length to prevent my hair from thinning as a result. Doesn't this suck?Has anyone else had a problem of hair loss after pregnancy? What do to in this case?
It happened to me, apparently i read it on the net somewhere coz i too freaked out, your body stops losing hair while you are pregnant and about 3 months after you have had your baby all the excess hair starts coming out. Mine stopped when my baby was about 6 months old.Has anyone else had a problem of hair loss after pregnancy? What do to in this case?
yes that sucks. and its normal to lose hair after pregnancy or end of pregnancy!
Don't fear! I had the exact same thing happen. When you are pregnant your hormones are running rampant, and your hair actually gets thicker and grows like crazy.



So after you deliver you don't have those hormones anymore and thus the resultant excessive hair loss ensues.



It will slowly reduce to the normal 100 hairs a day that most people have.
