Hair falling out?

**polo_princess** · Apr 16th, 2008, 15:38 PM

Completely random and i dont know if its anything to do with being PG but the last week ish i have noticed when i wash my hair some of it is falling out

I know a little bit does normally, but it seems like there is more. Not stupid amounts like im going bald but enough for me to notice the difference when i look in the shower/bath

Has anyone else had a bit of this in their pregnancies or am i mad?

I actually noticed the opposite. Before I was pregnant it was falling out by the fistfull but now it seems to have calmed down *knocks on wood*. Was kinda worried I'd look like kojak if it had carried on much longer! xXx

Could you be a lil stressed or anything??

Stress makes your hair fall out.. Mine seems to be growing more since I've been preggs..Its the prenatals I think..Idk sorry polo

My mum and my best friends mums hair fell out (just like you said not loads just more than normal) during pregnancy and after pregnancy! I think its totally normal your hair can fall out and so can your teeth ha ha ha scary! Nah i havent really seen a difference with any, i do know in my friends mum it was because she was too skinny so guess depends what you're eating sometimes but i think its totally normal!

Mine's always falling out but I have so much of it that it doesn't bother me! I don't remember losing much during my first pregnancy but afterwards it fell out by the handful for weeks! Every time I had a shower I thought I was going bald

I definately have more falling out than normal. I notice everytime I have a shower or brush my hair. Luckily I have really thick hair so you can't notice
