Im in my 7th week and suddenly so much hair is coming out when i comb, blocking the bathroom drain almost. I thought hair becomes thick in pregnancy na? is this falling normal so early or im just stressing.
With my PCOS I am always a bit prone to hair fall, and pregnancy hormones can shift things either way. If it feels like a lot, it might be worth checking your iron and thyroid with the doctor, since those affect hair too. Dont assume, just get it checked if worried.
Some hair fall can happen due to all the hormonal changes, though many women actually get thicker hair in pregnancy. The bigger shedding usually comes a few months after delivery honestly. Eat well, keep up your iron and dont stress, it balances out.
Honestly the real hair fall hit me hard a couple of months after the baby came, not during early pregnancy. It was emotional seeing clumps but it is temporary and grew back. Just go gentle with your hair and be patient with yourself.
