I could make a wig out of my hair falling out, its the season in general but probably because we're pregnant its probably the changes in our bodies too.

Oh gals i'm with ya on the hairloss, apparently it happens to some women during PG but its more common afterwards. I've lost an awful amount of hair, was really thinking i'd be bald by christmas. Mentioned it to midwife and told me to start on iron(ferrograd C) and its done the trick thank god, its really slowed down the last week or so.

I was clogging up the drain after EVERY shower with my crazy hair loss. It seems to have stoped now, can't say I've noticed it for the last 2 months or so, so maybe it's just a first trimester thing...in any case there were never any bald patches actually noticeable to anyone, not even me. I only knew about it cos of the trail of hair I left behind.

Think there is some hormone which stops you getting rid of things like skin, hair so when you do notice that you're loosing it it seems like tons but you're loosing the same as you always would have just at the same time..if that makes sense!

I lost hair right through the first trimester..it was coming out in handfuls....Stopped around 13/14 weeks....it is to do with the change in hormones....anything longer then this could be to do with your iron levels
