Yea I did. It started around 4 months postpartum and lasted 2-3 months. It's crazy scary seeing how much hair comes hour in the shower! Haha but it stops.

Yep. Always round 4 months later. But it's just hair that your head 'held onto' during pregnancy. So apparently you're just losing 9 months worth of 'extra hair' that normally wouldn't be there, meaning your hair shouldn't be any thinner than previous years, only thinner than during pregnancy. But it's still yuck and annoying, especially as 4 month old babies also start to grab everything and there is always hair everywhere!!
