Losing my Hair, Help?!

[Buddhababe]

Hi everyone

Has anyone ever suffered this during their pregnancy. I am 16 weeks and for the last 3 weeks I am finding that my hairbrush is more full than normal, more hair is stuck on my clothes and in the shower e.t.c. I have gone to the doctor and got my bloods tested but everything is ok and i have no iron/thiroid problems. Diet is also fine. The doc did say that pregnancy can also trigger this (telegen efluvium or something he called it) but I am wondering when it will stop. New hair is not growing as fast as what is coming out. How long does it last for? Thanks

i was like that with ds. I was like a long haired cat moulting! The plughole kept getting blocked! It went really thing around my temples so had to wear it down! Within a few months after birth it was growing back fine. No more bald spots and ds is now 20 months and i have yet more baby hair (fine hair) growing again! It WILL come back!! If you are worried about it boots do this spray esp for women with thinning hair that is supposed to be good for pregnancy
