help! BIOTIN - how much is too much?

Question

I noticed I've been losing hair in clumps over the past two weeks and it's not just by brushing. Is this type of hair loss normal? I don't remember losing hair with my daughter 9 years ago, so this freaks me out! My prenatal vitamins only have 30 mcg and before this pregnancy I was taking 10,000 mcg daily. I just sent my doctor a message asking if I can take extra Biotin and what the limit would be during pregnancy. But I also wanted to post it here and maybe get advice from pregnant mamas that can help me get my answer faster. 
Thank you for all your input ❤️😊

Answer

I have iron deficiency and one of the major symptoms is hairfall. My hair fall out in clips too. I had to get a blood test done to find out. My theory is your iron is low and having a baby and having 3x the normal blood it could be a possibility. I would go get a blood test done and explain to the doctor all your symptoms. I'm not pregnant nor a doctor just telling you from experience but you should have about 100 strands fall everyday, that's a small handful, if they're coming out in more than one hand full it's not normal. I think going to the doctor would be good it could also be something else but please don't stress, stress can make it worse. It could also be the stress of being pregnant and having a child or other things in your life stressing you. Either way go to the doctor and hope it all works out and you're healthy! 😊
