Hiya, just after some advice....from18weeks pregnant with twins I started losing ALOT of hair, I’m now currently 22 weeks pregnant and still losing hair, lost approximately 85% of it now and can’t go out without hat, scarf or wig and will probably have to shave it off within next week or so due to still losing rapidly 😢
It hasn’t gone in patches just all over thinning.
My bloods came back as a slight iron deficiency but that’s it 🤷‍♀️
When I rub my finger through my scalp I feel stubble but unsure if it’s just from hair snapping...I’ve also lost most of my pubes now too (sorry for TMI!!)
Anyone else been through this or similar? xxx

Hello, I'm afraid I don't really know the answer but I can imagine that it is particularly traumatic.
Funnily enough, an old thread from 2017 showed up in my active list a few under your question and came across a woman that had the same issue and she mentions what she got diagnosed with. Sounds very similar and also temporary. Hope it helps x

Hello, thank you for your reply.
I have seen older threads and had a quick read through but was hoping someone more recent has some advice.
I’m hopefully it’s hormonal due to having twins but longer it’s happening and more I’m losing I’m getting doubtful 😕
Again thank you for taking your time in replying, it’s appreciated 😊 xx
