    Going Bald..?!?!?!?

    Ever since i've been pregnant my hair has been falling out really badly.....especially when i wash it. My hair always came out when i washed it but not this bad.

    Is this normal???

    Yep! How pg are you? Often it stops part way through the pg and then starts again a few weeks after birth. Don't worrry, you won't go bald!!

    i never had hair loss during pg but in the few months after DD1 it was horrendous i really thought i'd go bald. I had a noticeable receding hair line but it did eventually grow back DD2 is 3 months and its jsut started to fall out again but at least this time i'm not so worried.

    I've had it too, dont worry, you wont go bald...
    It lasted throughout the pregnancy and until about 6 months after. The funny thing is when it starts to grow back and you have all these pingy bits sticking up LOL
    It's started this time too, but I'm not too worried.
