bald spot in the back of my head!

Hi mommy's okay I'm freaking out right now I just noticed I have a bald spot the size of a half dollar in the back of my head. Has this ever happened to any of you? Or is it for some other reason not related to pregnancy? I'm thinking the worst already, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like alopecia areata. Definitely see you Dr. They may refer you to a dermatologist. Treatment is usually a topically applied steroid. Not sure about that while pregnant. There's a lot of gloom and doom about AA online. I had it in two spots. Both grew back fully within 6-8 months. Never had it since. Stress was the trigger. Biotin is a good supplement to help regrowth. Again, check on heavy loading that while pregnant...

Maybe stress have you been stressing lately. Plus your hormones. alopecia areata is just hair loss in a certain spot.  My hubby got one went in and they said it was nothing bad. But you should make an apt with your reg physician to get answers.
