Check with your doctor. I have heard that sometimes pregnancy can bring on hypothyroidism. Make sure you get your T3/T4 levels checked. That can cause hair loss. Also, you are not necessarily losing hair; your hair enters its testing phase and doesn't start really growing again till after pregnancy. Many people experience fuller hair because it usually pauses just after a growth phase. Me? I was brushing out tons before I knew I was pregnant and I was worried I might be relapsing into an illness I had earlier! It's not enough to cause baldness. But if it bothers you, avoid a tight bun or ponytail. I cut 2.5 inches off my long hair and it looks much more full. The good news? It's shiny and glows like my skin.
Liars!!!! 😠😠😠😠
Who tf said that in pregnancy you have luscious locks so thick,full and beautiful. The best your hair will ever be and look during pregnancy?? Mine has done nothing but fall out! I brush it, it comes out. I wash it, it comes out. I tie it up, it comes out. I leave it alone IT STILL FALLS OUT!!! Don't know about new borns but I will be needing the "No hair don't care" vests soon!!!!!! Please someone has got to be the same as me?? I can't be the only one?!

My hair is shedding something awful too. I don't know if it's from the pregnancy or my lovenox shots but I hate it.

reading up on it this seems to be a common problem for many women. but all I ever here is how you get that gorgeous glow and gorgeous hair and I'm say here thinking what bullshit is this?? why haven't I got all this going on lol!! xx
My hair fell out a lot during all of my pregnancies (on my 4th right now)...I even had some bald patches.
Da
It did grow back...eventually. It took a long time and I really thought I was just going to have those bald patches permanently.

Oh god :( I really hope I don't get bald patches don't think I'd be able to cope with that! did it grow back after birth? xx
Yes! My hair doesn't seem any thinner, yet... But has been falling out non stop, doesn't matter what I do!
Ka
strange isn't it? I thought that my hair by now would be really really thinned out with the amount of it I have lost! but on the whole it doesn't look it but I know I've lost loads :(
With my first my hair grew so lovely and long and i didnt lose any until after i had him then it felt like i would go bald the amount i was losing but it eventually stopped. This pregnancy i am 12 weeks and my hair is really dry and constantly falling out! when i wash it i literally lose handfuls at a time! 😭
