I'm Currently Feeling:  | Wow, I guess it is just that time, I have noticed mine doing the same thing. While pregnant, hair does not fall out very much, so now that we are losing those wonderful hormones, our hair is making up for lost time. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Some hair loss is very normal... has to do with hormonal changes.
Clumps of hair however is a sign of hyperthyroidism. Get to your doc to have a T4, TSH or similar thyroid test done. I should add, thyroid issues are VERY common after pregnancy.  |
