Thinning hair!!

Im currently 13 weeks but have been suffering severe hair loss starting around 3 weeks ago!! My blood results turned out fine so i don't have any thyroid issue or low iron. Ive heard its common to lose hair AFTER pregnancy but has anyone had or is having hair loss while expecting?? I feel like i'll be bold by the time i give birth :(

I also lost my hair in chunks with my last pregnancy (boy). Don't worry about it too much.

I was shedding like crazy in my second trimester. It was a tad alarming to see. I was worried so I asked my midwife and she reassured me it's common and due to hormones. Aah pregnancy. She also mentioned it will all grow back afterwards. So no stress mama. Enjoy this time. Xo

My first pregnancy my hair (pretty much all over my body) grew like crazy, as you'd expect it to. This time around, it's growing at its normal rate. So it's hard to say really. I wouldn't worry too much about it though, pregnancy hormomes make your body do all sorts of crazy things.

I lost my hair like crazy in last pregnancy. My mom said it is common if you are pregnant with a little girl(old wives tale I guess?). And turned out I WAS pregnant with a girl.you eat healthy and don't worry much. You have way more hair on your head than you think and you will be fine. Keep earing healthy and not worry much as worrying will make it only worse.
