    Yep 3 months almost to the day with both my kids. At 7 months the hair loss has pretty much stopped but all the new hair is growing back and it looks bloody awful!!

    My husband used to have a shower and then pretend something was crawling out of the drain to get him as there was so much hair there!

    Yep between 3-4 months (after our third baby this year). Handfuls and handfuls. I've normally got thick hair, so I love when it thins out. Saves the hairdresser having to thin it for me. I remember reading somewhere that hair normally goes through a growth, dormant then shedding phase, but in pregnancy with the human growth hormone, it grows and grows and grows and then a few months after birth it starts shedding. Like Kelsbels, I've got the short, spiky re-growth starting to happen

    Yeah my regrowth was awful! I had to get my hair cut short and with even shorter layers so it didnt look so bad! It started to look better then i had another baby! Lol so back to square one for me!
