Hair loss

[vallinnapod]

Hi Ladies,

I am 17+5 and over the past 2 weeks have noticed a massive increase in hair loss. It's getting to the point where I am really worried about it.

Saw both my hairdresser and acupuncturist today, both of whom were a little buy it.

I have purchased some Spatone and Omega 3 to go alongside my prenatal vits in case it is a deficiency.

I was just looking to see if there was anyone out there who had a similar problem - how long does it last? Will it get worse? Any solutions?

I was conned into believing I would have great skin and lustrous locks but I type with shocking spots and a hairbrush full of hair :(

Thanks in advance for any responses!

Hi i did have a lot of hair loss earlier on but by about 20 weeks it had stopped and my hair appears a bit thicker now. not sure if this offers you any reassurance but perhaps ask your m/w if you are worried?

I'm 13 weeks and have been suffering from hair loss it's horrid isn't it. I'd recommend seeing your gp as mine had my thyroid function tested as sometimes pregnancy hormones can make your thyroid go a bit loopy causing hair loss as one of the symptoms. How do u feel otherwise?
Mine was normal btw-still falling out though!

Oh i remember this.
It fell out in handfulls all through my pregnancy.
I didnt go bald, but it went very thin.

After giving birth, it fell out allot more.

Then started to grow back, i had little tufts everywhere.

There is nowt you can do unfortunatley. Its fine now

Its not at all glamorous pregnancy is it!

Thanks ladies - will get to the GP to get some bloods! I have a feeling I am in cherry's boat
