Lately, I've noticed a lot of hair fall and it's making me worried. I'm pregnant right now, so I'm wondering why hair fall occurs during pregnancy. Is it normal, or should I be doing something about it?
Beti, sometimes lack of proper nutrition or stress causes hair to fall. You can gently massage your scalp with lukewarm coconut oil mixed with curry leaves. But also ask your doctor to check your iron levels.
It can be so distressing to lose hair when you expect that pregnancy glow. I went through the same thing and realized it was due to my low thyroid levels. Get your blood tests done and discuss it with your doctor, they will help you.
With my PCOS history, my hormones were always a bit messy, and I faced severe hair fall in my first trimester. I worked closely with my gynac to balance my vitamins and thyroid. Don't worry, it gets better once your levels are stable.
I remember crying over my hair fall during my second trimester, but now my toddler pulls my thick hair all day! It's just a temporary phase due to hormones. Focus on your nutrition and it will all bounce back soon.
Let's cut the myths, hair fall during pregnancy isn't normal because estrogen usually makes hair thicker. It's likely a nutritional deficiency like low iron or thyroid. Get your blood work checked by your doctor instead of applying random hair oils.
Pregnancy is such a roller coaster, and seeing hair fall can feel so discouraging. It is often just our body adapting to the massive hormonal changes. Please talk to your clinic, they might adjust your prenatal vitamins to help.
I totally understand how heartbreaking it is to see clumps of hair in the drain when you are already going through so much. Sometimes hormonal shifts or low iron can cause this. Please be gentle with yourself, you are beautiful no matter what.
