My hair is falling out!

Jeez, just when I think I've experienced all the symptoms and I'm used to them by now. Another one comes up. This has been happening for a few weeks now but I just thought it was me because even before getting pregnant I would pull out strands of hair here and there. But now it has gotten worse. Every time I get in the shower and when I go to wet my hair I pull out GLOBS of hair. I'm not talking 3-4 strands. I'm talking like 10-15 strands of hair.

Has this happened to anyone else?! Does anyone recommend anything to keep my hair from falling out?! I feel like I'm going to be bald by the time my son gets here...

    It could be normal.. Have you had your iron levels checked lately? That may be a factor as well.

    This is totally me - but it has been since about 5 weeks pregnant. And I wish it was 10 - 15 strands. The doctor said it was fine. Hormones. My levels have all checked out so far - but it is always good to get checked.

    Mine checked my iron at my gd test, but ask to be sure what your ob does.  Also, ask about thyroid tests.  Some women have thyroid issues during pregnancy even if they haven't before so it might be worth a mention.

    A friend of mine lost a lot of hair while pregnant. Some all over thinning, but also a large chunk near her hairline. Her doctor said it was completely natural. She's expecting again, but no hair loss this time. Nothing was recommended for the hair loss,&
