Loosing hair a lot

[Ku-ku]

Hi,

I'm 25 weeks and I noticed recently that my hair started falling out a lot. I mean really a lot. Is it normal during pregnancy or I should take some vitamins? Thanks

it could be your iron levels so ask doctor to check them.

ive been losing lots of hair throughout pregnancy and im 32 weeks now. i know mine is due to iron defiancy and everything else due to severe sickness. x

Hey, I didn't loose much with my first but my 2nd was dreadful. I would brush my hair in the morning and my bed was covered in hair and the floor, my hoover wood get tangled up when I hoovered and had to cut it free sometimes. It stopped when he was a few weeks old. My hair is thick and it was long when I had him so didn't really notice it on my head in patches, I thought at the time though surely I am going to be bald soon.

Yes, its normal to lose some of our hair during pregnancy, but if you feel as if you are losing too much its best to book an appointment to go & see your G.P as soon as possible as it could also be a underlying medical problem.

Have you heard of something called Aloepecia. You could try researching this name / condition to get an in-site before seeing the G.P
