34 weeks and hair suddenly falling out.....

[MissusRabbit]

Any ideas??

Normally it falls out after i have my babies not before.....

Have your iron levels been checked recently?

This happened to me in my last pregnancy and it turned out I was anaemic!

Other than that it will probably be put down to hormonal changes!

Hope that helps, x

Do you think its worth speaking to the dr? or am i over-reacting? DS came a bit early and i've had mad days of braxton hicks

I dont think it would hurt to mention it, and nothing is too minor to have concerns over in pregnancy, I think! {grin]

Get ready for the sidewards tilt of the head and, 'hormonal changes' explanation though!

BH' are weird aren't they? I am 31 weeks with DC3 and have had them for some weeks now, sometimes they stop me in my tracks!

If you have noticed a sudden increase in tiredness as well as the hair loss though, its def worth a visit to the doc's!

Let us know how you get on x

I don't know whether it's your hair on head that's falling out, but I found at 34-36 weeks last time that big patches of my arm hair fell out! I spoke to my cousin who's a midwife and she said it was just hormones. Don't know if that's true but nothing untoward seemed to result from it, ds started on his due date and the hair came back straight after the birth.

Thank you - I'm seeing my consultant so will mention to him..
