Losing all my hair!!!


Advice? Anyone else. My hair is everywhere....except on my head. The amount that come out in the shower is amazing. I think I will be bald by the time I have this baby.

Thanks. I'm not stressed more then normal! Poor hubby finds hair in his lunch even though he makes his lunch himself and I'm not even in the house when he makes it! LOL. i don't have bald patches yet.....but its definitely getting thin--and it wasn't too thick to start with.

I see my Dr. on Friday..so I will ask her then.

Its hormones and they can do funny things to your body. I'm the opposite (no consolation i know) but prior to falling pregnant (after stopping the Pill) my hair was falling out in enormous amounts, it was everywhere but i barely shed 10 hairs now when i wash/dry it. No doubt it'll start dropping out again when i have baby though. Don't worry about it as that won't help and at this stage there's nothing you can do about it either, wait and see how things are 6 months after you've have baby as hormones should have settled by then-unless you're breast feeding of course.

i knew a girl who lost her eyelashes during her pregnancy!!! maybe it could be your body pulling certain nutrients for baby and it just so happens to be taking it out of your hair growth (i heard this somewhere)

i doubt you will go bald...but i know it can be rough to have your hair thin out!

I'm losing my hair also! I did with my first baby and after birth also. The good news is that about the time he was a toddler- it grew in long and strong straight down past my butt! Make sure you stimulate your scalp each week with a gentle massage and also cutting down the shampooing helps drastically- I use apple cider vinegar rinses instead of shampooing each day.

I'll try shampooing less....but my hair is so fine, it gets greasy fast. I've also stopped putting it up..hoping that will take some strain off my hair.
