Why is my hair still falling out??

Ladies, I had my baby in July 2023 and I've been having post partum shedding ever since. I get that it can last a couple months, but my baby is about to be 15 months old in a couple weeks. My hair is still shedding and falling out in chunks. Every time I wash it, I get more depressed. I do take vitamins but I don't always remember them everyday. Is this ever gonna stop?

Get a blood panel done. Save a clump and bring it to a doctor. From what I've read it's usually only the first 6 months or so ( maybe? I'm not an endocrinologist or an obgyn) postpartum as your hormones balance out from the pregnancy state of heavy doses of lots of hormones ... To the more normal state of postpartum. See your obgyn.... Or a general practitioner ( regular doctor) and mention how long it's been clumps, if there's been any changes or if it's been consistently clumps for almost 15 months.... Because to me that sounds very not normal and sounds like a sign of something else going on

Blood tests will probably end up being ordered, because very likely something is out of whack... If it's anything a blood test will find, that's unknown.... But tests will likely end up getting ordered

i have very low iron and Vitamin C, your next appointment ask for a blood panel and they'll send you to the nearest hospital to get it done, then from there you'll have a consultation with another doctor, and they'll give you options and some medication to help with whatever you're low in, i have lost half my hair since pregnancy and it's very upsetting so i understand the frustration😢

Same thing is happening to me and my baby is about to be 15 months too. I just started taking vitamins so I’m hoping it gets better if not I will go see a doctor

@Nakaela hi! I actually ordered batana oil. I heard about it from tik tok. I can't stand the smell of it, makes me extremely nauseous.

@Elizabeth definitely will get blood work done now. I've noticed I'm having off the chart mood swings too. Idk how my husband is still married to me.

@Nakaela so sorry you experience the same thing. My hair is the one thing I love most so when I see it falling out, I'm like oh noo.

@Kimoya it definitely doesn't have the best smell😭 but all good!

@Gabi so sorry this is happening to you too. I take vitamins on and off but it's not helping me at all. I hope the vitamins work for you!

Same thing is happening to me ! I have very fine curly hair and if I put it in a pony tail it’ll turn into one big knot 😓 and I dread brushing my hair it’s like half of my hair came out already

I am going thru the exact same thing. My baby is 15 months old and I'm still shedding, have mood swings and sweat profusely. I have taken iron and vitamin c. Got blood panels done. Checked thyroid, everything and they can't figure out what it could be. 😓

Im going through this exact situation and I cry every time I wash my hair cause I’ve lost so much hair

I keep loosing hair and my hair is thin but still got a full head, thank God. So I stopped stressing about it and it seems to be growing back 🙏🏽 slowwlyyy but growing
