Hair falling out!?

Hi ladies! I'm so excited I just found out in at 4.5 weeks! I go to the doctors in 10 days so I'm trying to not get overly excited until then.

I knew something was up when I started changing my ladies room routine and my hair started falling out. I know digestion changes, but ha anyone experienced hair loss? Isn't that the opposite of what's supposed I happen?

Re: Hair falling out!?

  • I have! So much that my DH noticed! Even before I got my Bfp, he kept asking why my hair was everywhere. I've had to start cleaning my hair brush a lot more frequently because of it

  • Yes, this happened to me too. I *think* (and hope!) it's tapering off.

  • Yup, that happened to me last time! My symptoms between my pregnancy with DD and this one are completely different... it's fascinating.

  • Usually happens after delivery for awhile. During pregnancy it's suppose to be the opposite, you don't lose hardly any, then shed it all afterward.

  • My hair is also falling out and my hair is really thin! My hair stylist noticed and guessed that I am pregnant. I'm looking forward to luscious locks in the second trimester.

    Pregnancy after delivery is very common BUT with both pregnancies I have experienced hair loss right after my BFP. I think it's hormone related. It's now gone back to normal, and I'm waiting for my beautiful 2nd semester locks.

    WTF? Pregnancy after delivery? I'm tired! Hair loss, hair loss after delivery is normal.

  • I'm experiencing hair loss, too. It's so annoying! I def didn't get it with my 1st pregnancy until about 12w after I delivered. My OB said it's not very common but can be normal.

  • Any of you ladies had your thyroid levels tested since you noticed the hair loss? I knew my thyroid levels were off when my hair started falling out again. A lack of iron can also contribute.

  • Thanks for the responses! I'm hoping the vitamins start to help soon but ill definitely bring it up to my doctor on my first visit! I'm going to have so many questions for her I hope she's ready for me!!!!
