Hair falling out! Help!!

Hi guys— my hair is suddenly just shedding like crazy for about a month. I’m 20 weeks. I’ve never had this happen in any other pregnancy… I’m SO anxious about this it’s falling out like constantly and in decent clumps in the bath. Does anyone have any experience in this???

  • Apparently this is a symptom for anemia. You should be getting your glucose and blood work done and it should show up there if your red blood count and hemoglobin are low. Mine was only slightly on the lower side and I was missing a lot of hair. This is pretty normal and nothing to be concerned about. Just mention it to your Dr so they can test you soon and get on iron supplements if your results show you are anemic.
