My hair loss has just started! Every time I shower it's everywhere. Hopefully it passes soon but you are not alone.

Yes, I have lost SO much hair. Mine I think has peaked and started to slow (usually peak is between 4 and 5 months). I have bald spots and a weird looking hairline now. Not thrilled. We will get through it though. I would talk to your doctor about the acne, they may be able to prescribe an oral medication safe for breastfeeding that will help clear it up.

Same here! I already have a receding type hairline from genetics and it just looks worse now😭 My hair is extremely dry too. It seems like nothing helps, like no matter what masks or conditioner I use. Just taking my prenatals and keeping my fingers crossed that it gets better😬

This is my second baby, but with my first I lost a TON of hair, so I knew it was coming again. It just started last month. My hair was incredibly long when I gave birth, like I could sit on it long. I did a big trim myself when it started falling out. I'm going to do a professional hair cut when it stops falling out. I think that'll help. It's so hard not to get caught up in my external beauty, but I remind myself every morning that loving my body has nothing to do with how I look, it's a choice I get to make every day.

Omgosh!! I thought I was the only one!! My gosh!!! I can make a toupee everytime I brush or wash my hair!! I feel so ugly too. I know what u mean. An definitely have that weird hair line too. Crossing my fingers at this point to.

Ever watch thumbelina? That’s my hair right now with the side hairs 😂

Oh em geee!! Yes! My hair is falling out like crazy. Clumps every time I touch it. I started taking my prenatals again and just hoping for the best

Omg seriously at least I’m not the only one going through this! Thank you @Brielle for the reminder that we are all still so beautiful 🙏 💕💕
