    Dee, it is normal post-pregnancy stuff. When you are pregnant you don't lose as much hair as normal so about 3 months after you have the baby all that lovely extra hair falls out! It can keep falling out for a few months too so don't freak out!

    I soooo know what you mean! After both pregnancies I lost HEAPS of hair, I have fine hair already and was worried I'd have bald patches LOL. Luckily it wasn't actually noticeable, only to me who had to clean out the plug hole . The regrowth is so annoying, mine is at a really annoying length atm and falls in my eyes all the time. I'll be going through it all again by the end of the year too .

    I experienced hair loss to a small extent after my first two children at about 2/3 months post birth too. But with my third child the hair loss was worrying. I felt like I was having chemo! No bald patches... all over. I have long and very thick hair so it was interesting to read that it's more common with this type of hair. Anyhow I had a few other symptoms including weight loss and hand tremor etc so i went and saw my doctor. I got a blood test for my thyroid function and my levels were dangerously high. I don't want to worry you but if you have any other symptom with the hair loss especially regarding your weight, moods and tremors then I'd recommend seeing your doctor... it could be a thyroid problem.

    I am the same as you Dee. I dont really have any hair to lose!!

    It is coming out alot and last night I looked in the mirror and it looks like my hair is receeding. I am not kidding I started to pull out photos to see if its always been like that and I havent noticed but it has gotten really short and looks like all baby hair up near my temples.

    Yes, I have been loosing heaps too. I am tempted to cut it all off because it looks so scraggly these days. I find it everywhere!
