Have your dr check your iron. Anemia can cause hair loss

i'm gonna ask my doc at my next appointment.

i've had major hair loss for like the past 10 weeks and it's really bothering me because at this rate there will be nothing left by the end of my pregnancy (i'm only 14 weeks).

also, during pregnancy your hair is supposed to be thicker and more volumous and more. so it's weird to lose so much! i know how you feel :-(

It may be that your hormones and prenatals are causing you to grow more hair, therefor you have more to loose. On average you will loose 100 hairs a day even while you're not pregnant, but it wouldn't hurt to bring it up to your doc.
