  I had this to and it started when LO reached 12 weeks... it was WFUL!!!! i could have filled a dolls head with hair the amounth i was loosing everyday!! It contiued into month 6 but has now stopped and is growing back.
  
  Its complelty normal, you dont shed any hair during your pregnancy so after you loose a whole 9 months worth plus what you would normally!

  I'm going through this now as well... I thought I'd got away with it as I thought it would happen straight away, not 4 months later. I'm constantly finding hair everywhere. And the bits that aren't falling out are being pulled out in handfuls by lo!
  
  Just wanted to say I share your pain really!

  lol I was just coming on to post about this myself as I was starting to worry!! My hair started falling out about 4 weeks ago when Toby was about four and a half months old and I'm still losing loads everytime I wash or brush my hair. So horrid!!
  
  Glad to see I'm not the only one and that it might ease off soon if StephS is anything to go by.

  My hair loss started at 4 months too and was awful! It only lasted about a month and then suddenly all grew again (hasd some new hair growth along my hair line which was annoying) and now i have my lovely think hair back again!

  Before I was pregnant my hair used to fall out a bit when I washed and dried it but I never used to worry as it is thick and I could spare a few strands!
  
  During pregnancy my hair changed completely, nothing fell out and it was quite sleak in appearance.
  
  Now my LO is 16 weeks and I have really noticed over the past few weeks that my hair is falling out LOADS!! I have a handful in the plughole, a handfull in my brush and a handful off the carpet when I have dried my hair never mind the rest that scatters itself around the house during the course of the day!! Is this normal or should I be speaking to someone about it?
  
  My little one is 16 weeks to
  
  I havent had any problems with lose of hair

  I had major heir loss, HUGE clumps would pull out of it. It started while pg and didnt slow down till lo was around 10 months old !! Thankfully I have very thick hair anyway so aside from the evidence in the drain (yuck) no one could tell ! LOL
