Postpartum hair loss

BEFORE:

My hair at its longest and fullest! (found this on my phone and found it pretty hilarious) 

AFTER:

Excuse the wet hair.I have this bald patch on both sides of my head! :( 

Now this is a topic very close to my heart! Mostly because I am overly emotionally attached to my hair (crazy lady style) and everyone who knows me knows this! I have ALWAYS had long hair and rarely get it cut because I am always just an emotional MESS afterwards until it all grows back! haha!

Now before I was pregnant my hair was of normal thickness and well, what I considered normal for me! By the end of my pregnancy it was looking the fullest and shiniest it ever had! it was great! I also didnt dye it until just 3 weeks before I had Rian (needed to be glamorous giving birth), so that probably had something to do with its good condition too!
BUT now, just 3.5 months after I had Rian.. it seems like its all falling out around me! :( Its EVERYWHERE! Its disgusting! Of course its not ALL falling out but because hardly any fell out while I was pregnant it seems like soo much! I now have 2 pretty noticeable ''bald patches'' behind my hairline just above both temples! It makes a side parting look like I have a receeding hairline like some middle aged balding male! sob! (bald men freak me out, nothing personal, just love hair haha)

As a solution to this heartbreaking issue I have cut bangs into my hair and trimmed a good bit off my ends! (about 3-4 inches) and now it is very hard to tell I'm a balding mess at all! :) I am also putting coconut oil on my roots before having a shower cause I believe its miracle stuff! ha! If anything it makes your hair super shiny anyway! According to all my online investigating my hair should be back to normal by Rian's first birthday :D I'll be MILFing it up in no time!
