Early pregnancy: help, I'm losing my hair!

Hair loss during pregnancy isn't automatic, but if you're pregnant, you're not alone. Temporary hair loss is on the list of possible pregnancy symptoms.

Your wicked hormones may be playing a new trick on you. It can also be caused by a small thyroid disorder. This is called oxidative stress.

In fact, stress can also cause you this inconvenience. A deficiency in iron, trace elements, or proteins is possible. Nothing alarming, but it may require some adjustments in your diet.

Hormones change the body to make it do weird things. It should turn back to normal shortly after pregnancy

Hair loss is Crazy. I wash my hair once a week and usually loose a good amount but after giving birth it was wayyy more. What can I use on my hair to help it I’m still taking my prenatal. I just used the rest of my biotin too.

Is any of you ever experienced hair loss during pregnancy? I’ve always heard about thicker fuller hair during pregnancy but seem to be having the opposite effect

Girl yes ! I thought I was going bald or something I was scared my hair kinda falls out a lot but I’m not balding my hair just sheds like crazy when I’m in the shower or even when I’m just doing shit around the house I can run my fingers thru my hair and then boom alot comes off but I started taking my prenatals every day and it’s kinda KINDA slowing down but everyone says it’s normal to lose some hair while pregnant I guess some girls lose hair and then some girls actually get longer and healthier hair

I haven't had this happen yet. My hair typically grows really fast. My hair on my head has always been super long. I regularly chop 5-8 inches off every 6 months or so. I'm surprised that I'm not covered in hair all over my body.

I got my hair done when I was 5 weeks pregnant (before my first OB appt). She only put in a few highlights.. went to my OB appt and was told not to dye my hair until after 12 weeks. Kind of freaking out. Anyone else get their hair done early in pregnancy?

I bleached my entire head the day before I found out I was pregnant. I was 6 weeks. Don’t freak out 🙂 baby is healthy so far. But I won’t be doing it again!
