This is absolutely normal, and there is an end in sight.

While you were pregnant you didn't lose as much hair as normal. In fact, most women report that their hair is thicker during pregnancy than it ever was before.

Most people lose about 80 hairs a day, which are replaced with new hairs. While pregnant you don't lose as many because of hormones.

Now that those pregnancy hormones are gone you're losing the hair you were supposed to lose. Don't worry, you won't go bald. :)

Just give it time. Things will go back to normal soon.
