Post partum telogen effluvium is what you are suffering from,which is most common after delivery.During pregnancy,all hairfollicles which are in anagen phase(growing) goes into telogen phase ( falling) stage immediately after delivery.so u need not tensed up,just take healthy food rich in proteins.
Next Steps
Take tablets rich in biotin.
