Hair loss !!! 😩
Hey everyone, (sorry long moan)Â
I'm 13 weeks pregnant an I've been having quite a bit of hair loss !!!Â
When I was pregnant with my Son I had beautiful glossy locks but this pregnancy seems to be taking its toll on my hair an it's making me feel a little down..Â
Has anyone had this?? Did you found it settled down after certain point??Â
I have long blonde hair an I just feel like there is a constant dribble of hair falling out an don't even get me started on after washing it an when being brushed.. 🙄 Jeeeeeze I only wish it would have the same effect an make the hair on my legs fall out LoL!!Â
I asked the midwife today at the hospital an she said she has had quite a few ladies with the same problem an it has settled down in time but I'm just worried at this rate il be bald by the time baby is born LoooooL!!Â
I have an apt with the doctor tomorrow to take bloods an check thyroid an to check all my iron an vitinmin levels are ok.Â
I know this sounds silly but could it possibly be the pregnacare max tablets I'm taking?? Maybe I'm overloading on a certain vitimin??Â
Well I decided to pop into Tony & Guy today an treat my self to treatment an trim in the hope will help strengthen it up a bit..Â

it's so strange what pregnancy does to a girl! When i was preggers, my hair stopped shedding on my head - i had the nastiest, uncontrollable hair, and a few weeks after my girl was born, the shedding was out of control - there was hair everywhere!Â
I'm gonna guess it hormonal for you, and it should pass - wonder if you're having a girl as this is opposite to your pregnancy with a boy.Â
Good luck with the tests today.Â
Thanks for replying BobbieRae!! : )Â
Yes it's crazy what pregnancy does to you!!Â
I got talking to one of the Mums at the School this morning an she said the same thing about it maybe being a girl... She said she had lovely hair with her 3 boys but very bad hair loss when pregnant with her girl.
Just got back from the doctors so hopfully will know a little more in a few days an plz God it settles down soon enough!!Â

Don't get me started - i had such greasy hair too - it was so gross and hideous dandruff too - you can imagine - i was not a pleasant sight! But i remember that it did pass, though the not shedding hair didn't pass until a few weeks post birth. Still it's nice you're treating yourself and getting your hair done! Every cloud!Â
It's so nice to hace everyone on here to talk to.. LoL men just don't understand the "joys" of pregnancy we go through..
I will let you guys know how I get on an if my little flump turns out to be a boy or girl : )Â

Hey everyone,Â
I just wanted to post an Update..
Everything turned out just fine with thyroid an hormone levels thank God!! But I still continue to have some hair loss an doctors & midwives have put it down to just one of those pregnancy things'Â
I'm delighted to say yesterday I found out I'm having a girl!!!! 😊💗
I know alot of people may not necessarily believe in old wives tales... but for me alot of them rang true an my pregnancy was totally different from when I was pregnant with my Son. x x x
I am losing tons of hair. So much so that I decided to have cut off (like bowl http://hairstylezz.com/best-bowl-cut-hairstyles/ )! When the stylist was parting my hair she ran her hands through and had a bunch of my hair stuck to her fingers, this is after I had taken a shower and she rewashed and conditioned my hair.
I have been hypothyroid for quite a few years and being pregnant has screwed with my hormones a bit. I have had my thyroid medication adjusted twice already so I just assumed that is the cause. I also have a rash in my armpits from the hormone disturbance. Fun!
I don't really have any suggestions except maybe talking to an endocrinologist about your thyroid hormones. I am really, really happy that I decided to cut my hair - it is so much easier to make it look full now that it is shorter. And congrats on your baby
