Oh my god, is post-pregnancy hair fall really that bad? I am already seeing some thinning in my 2nd trimester, what should I start doing now?

It's completely normal hormonal shedding. It will stop on its own in a few months, don't worry!

This is just postpartum shedding because of falling estrogen levels, dear. Use a mild shampoo, don't comb wet hair, and keep eating your vitamins.

Since you are breastfeeding, your body needs extra nutrients. Make sure you are eating a handful of soaked almonds and walnuts daily, it helped me reduce my hair fall.

I totally agree with others. Taking your iron and calcium supplements continuously for 3-6 months post-delivery helps a lot.
