Hair loss?

[mollieangel123]

Hey girls

I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant and I'm loosing and shedding so much hair it's starting to look so thin and lifeless

I was wondering if anyone else has had this and if there's anything that can stop it it's starting to get me down abit now.

Just been hoping it's gojng to pass but seems to be getting worse just putting a brush through my hair the amount that sheds and washing my hair I hate as I'm really surprised I have any left on my head!

Any advice would be amazing!!! Xx

I dont have advice. But I know some women loose hair. Usually 1st and early 2nd trimester. I hope ot slows down as usually the hormones will slow the shedding phase. But again some women don't experince that.
I am not sure you can do anything as it is all hormone driven.

I experinced a bit until 17weeks and then it slowed down and I am 39 weeks and shedding is minimal. But DS1 I shed sooooooo much 3 months PP until around 9/10months PP.
There is a great dermatologist on YT who discusses this topic called Dr Andrea Dray.

Unfortunately it's a common problem during pregnancy and postpartum. My youngest is 3 and I still shed like a border collie.

No advice but I'm following along in case someone else pops up with any tips.
