Is anyone else experiencing hair loss?

Question

I've always heard that during pregnancy you wind up with thicker, glorious hair. But I've noticed during this first trimester that I'm LOSING more hair than usual on my head. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Answer

I'm loosing my hair too and, unlike everyone else, my hair seems more oily :-/ I already look dirty if I don't wash my hair after about 18 hours and don't have time for multiple showers every day... I hope this doesn't last!

Answer

I'm losing the hair on my head by the handful but OF COURSE all the rest of my body hair is growing at double speed!! Honestly, wtf. I have to wash my hair and shave twice as often. And I feel like I'm plucking my eyebrows every day!

Answer

I'm losing hair by the handful. I hope it goes away in second trimester but thankfully i have plenty of hair to spare

Answer

Me too. I did with my son too. Sucks.

Answer

I am too - my OB nurse said its hormones. Crazy stuff!!!

Answer

I'm having the same issues! I'm 7 weeks today and I've been noticing whenever I was my hair I have chunks of it coming out. Not happy!

Answer

I'm 6wks and 6 days and loosing so much hair than regular, my hair gets so dry also right now. I usually have a soft and shiny hair but right now it's so dry.

Answer

I have the opposite. Not losing much hair but my hair is super dry I have to add additional products to it after washing it. However, I unfortunately had a miscarriage in January and then I lost a ton of hair for a couple months. I know it will probably be the same after this little one is born :/

Answer

Hey girl I saw my hair dresser yesterday and he warned me that some women lose hair when they're pregnant. I wouldn't worry it's probably just the way your body is reacting to all of the hormones

Answer

I don't think I'm losing any hair... But my hair does feel more dry than usual. But my body hair is growing like crazy!
