It's totally normal.

During pregnancy, your homones actually change so the hair your body normally sheds in cycles doesn't fall out - hence the gorgeous hair.

Once your hormones drop and start to level out again after delivering your baby, all the hair that was retained while you were pregnant will start to fall out.  It looks like TONS, and some women swear that they're going to go bald, but you're not.  It's just your body getting back to normal.
