I have seriously lost like half of my hair since having the baby. I have 4 bald spots and my hair is visibly thin, like when I put it up (which I have to for work) you can see right through to my scalp. Is this normal?

Unfortunately it is normal. My hair still falls out a little more than normal, but its chilled out for the most part. I got 2 noticable-to-me thinning spots, right above my ears. So, even now, when I pull my hair back (everyday for work, 1/2 up or all the way up) that hair is growing back, so its filling back in but it looks like a version of a mullet!

Yep! Totally normal. I lost mine at my hairline which was not cool. Fortunately my hairs grows fast so it wasn't bald but it's still a lot shorter than the rest of my hair and Amara is almost 2.

I personally never had any spots because I have TON of hair.. But I did loose clumps of it.. But one thing I noticed when I was pregnant was I never loss hair, which is uncommon for me. I always have hair falling out.. So I look at those clumps of hair loss is just making up for those months were I didn't loose any hair..

I lost a ton with the boys but not Lila. Still lost with her (at 2 months pp like clockwork) but not nearly as much as with theboys. I attribute that to my hair got nice and thick during the boys' pregnancies but stayed the same with Lila's.
