currently 12 weeks with dc3 and my hair is falling out! Not enormous amounts but with ds1 and ds2 I remember thinking how clean my hairbrush and plug holes were! Anyone else experienced the same?!

I'm 9 weeks with my 1st and I'm loosing at least a handful every time I wash my hair :( I'm hoping it's just crazy hormones and I'll soon have thick shiny lovely hair!
Sorry that's not much help! Least your not the only one Smile

mine gets thicker & thicker during pregnancy... then all falls out once baby has arrived... in chunks!! Then I get that awful regrowth that looks like you are sprouting a weird fringe all along your hair line. In fact, note to self... I must actually get a fringe cut this time just before baby arrives, so that the weird regrowth is disguised.

I'm 17 weeks and have been losing it throughout. I didn't with DC but then felt like I was going bald in the months following birth.

Get your iron levels checked- if they are low that can make your hair fall out, and pregnancy usually reduces them
