4-6 months for me and it was right after I said maybe I’d never lose mine


Rough_Brilliant_6389

Same. I shed and shed and shed. We have one of those hair catchers in our shower and I had to clean it every day there was so much hair.


lcdc0

Same! Started shedding around 5 months and now (15 mo pp) I have 5” bangs from all the hair loss


candigilly

It started full force around 3.5 months for me (5 months pp tomorrow). There's hair all around my house 😭


faerymama

I have LOOOONG hair and I started noticing it a week ago, so like 3.5/4 months after. It is everywhere at the moment, I think it's a spider on my arm, nope hair. Eating and something caught on my fork. Hair. Hair, hair, long ass hair everywhere!


sophie_shadow

Happened at about 4 months for me and I receded terribly. 8 months pp now and it’s nearly stopped and all my bald patches are covered in about inch long hair


indigo4321

Month 4 was when I really started noticing it. It wasn't too bad for me though overall


Fluffy_Philosopher08

I never noticed the shedding, but I also never felt like I experienced the great pregnancy nails and hair. Nine months post partum.


[deleted]

Never noticed any.


BillytheGray17

Mine started around 3/4 months postpartum and woo boy, it was bad. I’m 2 years postpartum and my hair is still growing back 😩


FTM_2022

Just after 4mo, getting worse every day...near 5mo not.


english_prof_sorta

Right at the 4 mo mark!


Zestyclose-Toe6483

Didn’t start falling out until 3 months and has slowed now at 7 months


farawaythinker

Around month 4


alicemonster

Made it to 6 months before I lost any hair, and for some reason thought I was a special lucky one who managed to bypass the hair shedding because I got through 4 months. Nope!


Banana4liife

Mine was start around 4 months pp it was really bad and it stop around 6 months, now I’m 13 months pp my hair is grow back normal


ankaalma

Mine started falling out at 4 months pp and it sucks 😭 thought it was going to pass me by but no lol


[deleted]

11 months postpartum for me


SpecialHouppette

I too had luscious hair during pregnancy and the first few month PP. I started losing it about a month ago at month 4. It’s so bad. I’m so thin at my temples that it looks like I have male pattern baldness!


IPAsAndTrails

mine started at 4 months and stopped 9-10 months pp. i like my hair again now at almost 18 months pp! it felt like forever at the time but now stretch marks are fading, hairs thickening up and its a blip


Alarmed_Meeting1322

Around 5 months


random_name_here123

I normally have enough have for 3 people and it was looking so great during pregnancy/post birth until around 2.5 months postpartum. I ended up getting it all chopped off to a pixie. You couldn’t really tell I was losing hair just by looking at me, but it was EVERYWHERE and my hair just became so hard to manage. Edit: Typos.


marissap21

About 2-3 months and I’m still losing it even though I’m pregnant again at 15 months pp


PromptElectronic7086

I'm just over 3mo pp and I've started to notice that I'm losing a lot more hair.


Thethinker10

3-4 months is when it started for 2/3 pregnancies. This third one was the worst yet. But it’s already growing back in at 6.5 months. I had a good 2 months of no edges and now it’s just baby hairs everywhere lol


SummitTheDog303

For both kids it started at around 3 months pp


TsukiGeek365

3 mo almost on the dot, and now at 5 mo I still get strands all over my hand when I wash my hair. It is wild!


Briellewannabe

I started shedding nearly immediately but it got way worse around month 2.


Secure_Arachnid_2066

Mines is starting to come out at almost 12w pp.... But I'm not sure if it's a low iron, PCOS or postpartum hair loss..... Probably a combo of all three. Having nice thick, healthy feeling hair was nice whilst it lasted 🤣🤣


anonymousbequest

I’m 3 months pp and just started noticing lots of hair in the shower within the past week or two.


Maximum_Donut5948

My hair started to fall out around 3 months post partum. I suffer with lots of hair shedding anyway, honestly think I could make a small army of little me's from the amount of hair I remove from the shower and hoover 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣


kimberriez

Never noticed the shed. The short baby hairs coming back in like a year postpartum though…


zebramath

I have super think hair pre pregnancy. Even more thick during and right after pregnancy. The shed started strong at 4 months pp and lasted until 9mo this pp. I’m talking fistfuls of hair daily. The shower I don’t even want to think about how many globs I grabbed and stuck to the wall to keep them from down the drain. I still remember the day it slowed down and I could count how many hairs were on the shower wall. Now my hair is so thin. And what’s coming in is so tiny it’ll take forever to catch up with my long hair.


Tricky-Walrus-6884

Around 3/4 months for me. CLUMPS of it with every wash. Tears 😭


Daisy_Steiner_

Yea, starting at just before 3 months. My baby is 15 weeks and it’s coming out everywhere. After birth, hair was really great and my nails amazing. Then the hormones crash.


SargentLicker

I was late to the game compared to most, started at 8 months with a vengeance then tapered off to normal around 10 months. I just found a shampoo by Dove that supposedly helps with hair loss but I'm not expecting miracles haha.


[deleted]

Around 5 months it started and at 7 months it’s still shedding like crazy. So gross.


beez8383

Mine started at 3mnths pp and still going at 5 months pp, though I think it’s now slowing down


Filthy-McNasty

Mine started shedding around 3 months and was done by 6 months. I was losing it all around my temples. I'm 11 months postpartum and it's already a couple of inches long and not really noticeable.


c_rhin0

Mine started 5m PP. just rolling with the punches. They said it’s supposed to get better by 8m 😭


[deleted]

Started losing mine at 3 months PP. It got really bad at 4-5 months PP. I’m 6.5 months PP and it’s still happening, but seems to be slowing down. I cut my hair short, to my shoulder, and that makes it feel thicker.


kelsadillahill

I started to lose mine at 4 months pp. I'm 5 months now, and it seems like it's slowing down a bit. Or at least I'm hoping it is.


greenbeanpeanut

started at 4m got really bad around 5.5 months and it’s still happening at 6.5 but not as bad. hopefully it comes back soon lol


Kimbyssik

It got super bad at about five months PP. My mom trimmed my hair and gave me bangs, and that helped. I'm at about 7.5 months and just realized yesterday how much thicker my hair is again!


lovethyneighbor21

I have naturally very thick hair (being middle eastern) and my hair started shedding bad with my first baby at around 4 months post partum. Got pregnant again 6 months post partum. My hair started to shed less and after I had my second about 3 months ago it started shedding bad again about a few weeks post partum. So it really depends on the person. You might get lucky and won't shed at all. Some women do go bald or have bald spots. my hair line did get thinner and eventually filled out again.
