Hair-loss???

I am about 12 or 13 weeks pregnant. I just noticed a nickel sized semi bauld spot on the end of my part. Has some long hairs coming out and some realy short stubble. Did this happen to anyone else?

Hair is definitely affected during pregnancy and after.  I actually had the opposite while pregnant . . .  I grew extra hair and my hair was thicker than it had ever been.  LOL  It was a bonus to pregnancy.  But then a few months after I gave birth, out it came and maybe less than I had before. Boo.  The short stubble is new hair coming in most likely.  Try not to scratch your head.  And there is something a dermatologist can prescribe you that enhances hair growth in case after baby this continues.  But in answer to your question, yes.  Hair is affected by pregnancy.  good luck
