I am curious if anyone else has this problem. I am about 12 weeks pregnant with my second child. I have been on prenatals since January. The problem is that I seem to losing more hair than I was before. My hair dresser said she does not see any bald spots and I think I did read that it can happen instead of fuller hair and stronger nails, mine are acutally looking great. I have a lot of hair, so it is not noticable at all....just alarming.
I'm pregnant with my second child and had some hair loss in both pregnancies, no bald spots but lots more hair in the shower and brush. I also noticed a change in texture last time. My hair was always very curly and became very straight. The good news is a few months after delivery my hair was back to normal and I didn't experience the hair loss that you normally hear about after delivery.
Yes, I had the same thing with my second pregnancy. It went back to normal for me after I delivered. Hope everything goes well with your pregnancy!
I am pregnant with my 3rd and doing the same, a very small percentage of pregnant women will have hair loss and one woman I spoke with said after she delivered it stopped. I don't mind because I have enormous amts of hair! I did not have this issue with the other 2 pgs. I am due about the same time!
Hi J., dont worry I too LOST hair when I was pregnant after everyone told me what beautiful thick shiny hair I would have when I got pregnant! Yeah right mine was AWFUL, dry, dull and lifeless. I am not sure why this happened to me when I was told pregnancy makes hair beautiful but it did. The importnant thing is that my normal great hair came back almost as soon as i gave birth. The hairloss stopped and the dull lifeless dry hair went away. I wouldnt worry about it especially if you have no bold spots ( I didnt either just hair in the shower drain and a thinning all over). Pregnancy effects everyone different and everything changes so it may just be your hormones. Dont worry!!
I had the same thing happen during part of my pregnancy, so never got to have the fuller, thicker hair I read about! I also had the same thing happen after a gave birth. Never had any bald spots, just lots of shedding! My hair also got curlier! Hormones do crazy things to our bodies!
My hair fell out as well when I was first pregnant. It stopped right about 14 weeks or so. And now I feel like I only lose a few strands a day. It happened with my first pregnancy too. I wouldn't worry too much about it its just one of the joys of pregnancy.
