Any one else's hair terrible in pregnancy?

Not serious or important at all, but it's been 15 years since last pregnancy and I don't remember this happening at all... currently 17 weeks and my hair looks awful. I'm not particularly vain about my hair usually but since I have been pregnant it's really dry, greasy and limp and I'm sure it's thinning!
Previously had 2 boy pregnancies and had comments all the way through about how healthy I looked. Otherwise, I feel fine, aside from sickness suddenly starting again last week!

Any one else?

Best it’s ever been when I was pregnant tbh. Late twenties / early thirties.

How old are you?

I'm 35, and yes, that was my experience too in the past! It has grown a lot recently though, just looking so lank and thin!

Oh mine isn’t good. Pre-pregnancy I washed it every two days and my hair was always shiny, thick and looked great during those two days.

I’m 28weeks pregnant and for the past 3-4 months it just looks dull and a slightly bit greasy most of the time. I get maybe half a day of it being fresh, shiny and like normal. Then it suddenly looks like I haven’t washed it for a week.

Im 31, and having a boy.

Mine is terrible (also 35) and my skin has really broken out. I thought one of the benefits of pregnancy was that I would be glowing!? Where’s my glow?
