Don't get your panties in a bunch! No, I am not pregnant. No, I do not have cancer. However, I am losing my hair like I am a chemo patient. I don't want to make light of cancer, but seriously, I am losing so much hair. It's been exactly 4 months post partum. I never really noticed the thicker, more lustrous hair that pregnancy claims. I guess I didn't have to clean my hairbrush out nor the bathtub drain almost at all in the last year, but I certainly didn't expect that I'd lose gobs of hair at a time after birth. This has only been going on the past week and I hope it stops pronto! Otherwise, next time you see me a) expect me to be bald or b) expect not to recognize me because I will be wearing a wig. Seriously!
Wait, is it possible that I am losing copious amounts of hair because of THIS??? :

It will get better I promise. It only does this for a few weeks, and then it all of a sudden stops like it started. I didn't notice any large bald spots......he he.
Your hair looked just fine tonight...thick and luxurious! You can always do a comb over if you need to....
Haha! Love the shot of Isaac getting your hair. Babies just don't understand how much that hurts! My "hair loss" lasted a few months so I hope yours goes away fast!
I have BEEN THERE! I was always so annoyed I'd lose so much hair when I'd never noticed the thicker, more luxurious hair that's supposed to come with pregnancy!
I lost a TON of hair, but nobody ever noticed but me . . .
Oh, boy, I totally went BALD when Ella was about that age. My hairstylist had to repeatedly assure me that I wasn't coming down with propecia, and no, I didn't need a wig. Apparently you just don't shed as much hair when you're pregnant, and several weeks after the baby shows up your body's like, "HEY! This is WAY too much hair." and starts dropping it. Since you're losing pretty much all the hair you would have lost during pregnancy but didn't, it comes out by the handful. It'll stop after a bit. :)
