I have two kids, and I shed with both of them, starting at about 3 months post. Mainly at the temples, to the point where I had balding spots. Not so anyone would know but me. I was eating right and taking care of my hair. Nothing mattered. As I looked it up on the internet, during pregnancy the hormones stop your hair from shedding at it's normal rate. Thus the thickness, the luster, etc. After pregnancy, all those hair follicles that stayed past their shed date all of a sudden realize "Hey! I was supposed to shed!" Then they do. All at once. It's very scary, and you think you're going to lose all your hair. Fortunately, others told me it might happen so I was prepared, but it was still enough to panic me.
