Hair loss - I'm getting very very worried

I've been experiencing hair loss for the past couple of months and I'm still losing strands (strands is an understatement) of it every day. My bathroom floor, bed and room floor are shrouded with it and no matter how often I clear them, it can never be hair-free. Of late, I'm getting very worried about this massive hair loss. Shared my concerns to a friend who is a mother to a 9.5 months old baby boy. She too, had experienced the same problem and adviced me to go for hair treatment. She even pointed out to the spots on her head where baby has sprouted. Can you imagine my fear?

I've heard from other mothers that hair loss after delivery is a common thing but didn't realize that it can be pretty serious. I have thick fine hair but if this problem cotinues, I'll be in the same shoes as my friend. And even as I type, I'm beginning to feel that I will not be spared from this post delivery 'downfall'.

The old Chinese myths says that post delivery, if your baby does not lose his or her hair, the mother will. I'm not a believer in old tales though but this myth seems to hold true in my case.
