I had the same problem.  My hair thinned out after I gave birth. I cried to my doctor.   She said it is common.  With hormones trying to get back to normal.  So I'm with you on that.

It because of your hormone change! Some woman have dramatic change go from poker straight hair to super curly hair! Others with thin hair thickig up and those with thick hair thin! Some woman go back to the way their hair was pre-pregnancy others don't! Just make sure you take your prenatal vitimans because that will help strengthen your hair! Also with it being so fragile right now due to hormone change take extra care to not damage it further! Don't wrap it in a towel use a wide tooth comb to comb through it and try to not tie it back to tight with rubber bands! This will all cut down on the breakage which will help prevent thinning even more!
