I'm 15 weeks pregnant, all was great at the scan at 12.5 weeks. In the last week, though, I've noticed my hair falling out again. I'm also feeilng less sick although had assumed this was just as I move out of the first trimester so hadn't been worried about that until I put it together with the hair. Do you think this is a sign that something has gone wrong?

My hair didn't stop falling out till I was about six months pregnant on both occasions, and my sister, who's now eight months pregnant, has said the same. Are you sure that your hair really had stopped falling out?

On balance I'd say that you've nothing to worry about but I'd ask for a scan just to put my mind at rest if I were you.

do you have long hair? I am 32 weeks, with long hair and everything going fine so far with pg and my hair has never stopped falling out. Can still fill a plug hole at every wash. However, I no longer have to shave my legs everyday Grin.

Also, my morning sickness ended at 16 weeks so it could just be natural.

But if you are worried speak to your gp/mw. There is no point worrying needlessly.

My hair never stopped falling out either - if anything more did to begin with. I had a 10 week and 12 week scan and all looked fine. Am now (14 and 4) and it has gone back to falling out as much as it always has. I haven't ever had better nails though!
