My hair is falling out

My hair is falling out in clumps. I don't damage my hair what so ever. I wash ig, let it air dry, and pull it back in a pony tail. I'm so concerned. I spend my whole shower trying to get the hair off of me. I take my vitamins  everyday. I called and a women told me to discuss this with my doctor at my next appointment and that he would probably wanna run lab work. I'm scared I'm gonna be bald by the time my baby girl is born ! Anyone else having this issue ? What should I do ?
Also I use moisturizing shampoo and condition as well as a few hair oils. Nothing helps

And I meant to say if it was due to stress,  the hair is likely to stop falling out and will regrow.

Is it actually falling out in clumps,  or is it just thinning?  I think those two are very different things.

So,  do you have clumps of bald places and clumps where your hair still has pretty normal thickness?

If not - if your hair is thinning pretty evenly it's probably stress.  The follicle replacement cycle takes about 3 months.

If you suddenly notice you're losing a LOT of hair,  evenly, it's likely due to an illness or severe stress that happened 3  months prior.

U might try not putting it up. Mine falls out worse if I keep it n a pony tail.

I have the same issue ;c My hair used to be really thick and now it's pretty thin. And it could be your hormone changes in the body. Hopefully our hair grows back!
