has anyone been losing their hair???

hi guys, i'm not sure if anyone else has this problem but i've recently been losing so much hair. It started since my daughter's been 3 months - hope it stops soon cos i dont think being bald will suit me!! No, seriously I'm really worried has anyone experienced this too???

Yes mine is coming out 2 in handfulls but i think this is normal as I read you grow more hair during pregnancy due 2 all the extra hormones!! So don't worry I know what it is like 2 wake up and see your pillow covered in hair!!

i'm a hairdresser and i know its normal to loose hair either during pregnacy or after its to do with ur hormone leveles it wont fall out too much it will stop just make sure ur keeping ur hair in good condition. i'm hoping for mine to grow throught this prgnancy not fall out lol. it will stop trust me.....
