Hello my mommies and mommies to be.. i have one question today.. Whos hair is nooott falling out during their pregnancy.. I'm worried I might go bald! lol! I take a shower twice a day (i know its bad but it relaxes the ligament stretching) and my hair is just tumbling out.. Granted showers arent helping but I will sacrifice some hair for comfort right now.. lol...
Im considering getting a good shampoo to keep my hair in good shape.. It was so healthy before i was pregnant and now its so limp.. Well what can yah do.. What about you ladies.. What did you or are you doing to keep your hair healthy during your pregnancy?

Mine is falling out too. It I have enough hair for about four heads lol so it's not a big deal. My hair is still really healthy, I just make sure to take good care of it, wash it every other day, brush it daily at some point. You know the usual.
Your so lucky. My hair is pretty fine.. I just maybe need to sit in a bath and try not to wet my hair.. Prob will start doing that.. I thought pregnancy would make it thicker but I guess Im having the opposite effect lol.
Dont wash it so often if u bathe twice a day keep ur hair for about every 2 days dry and just brush it, if you shampoo it daily and each time u bathe ure drying ir scalp's natural oil wich makes your hair healthy and strong my moms almost bald because she used to shampoo each and everytime she bathed wich was a loooot.
It will change after pregnancy again maybe it will be thicker then :) but there are tons of really good products to use to help make your hair look fuller.
lol well the shower is mainly just to sit in the wet heat.. I dont wash my hair. I will put conditioner in it.. but I do not shampoo it.. Yea my friend actually advised garlic shampoo. i dont think i could handle the smell of garlic how ever..
Oooo and then you can deep condition your hair when you use a shower cap, that's really good for it just don't do it Everytime. And use a sulfate free shampoo.
My hair fell out really bad after I had my dd. like right at my hairline you could clearly see my scalp. But after six weeks it stopped. So, it may get worse.
I have the same exact problem! Although I feel like im going to go bald with the amount of hair I lose daily.. I know its not possible, Ive heard its mainly from your hormones out of wack! Hope it doesnt stay like this after my little prince gets here!!
My hair is super thick...but i agree..get a shower cap and only wash your hair every 2 days. Otherwise you will wash out all of the natural oils and it could kill ur hair!
Hmmm....well, I never have this problem WHILE I am pregnant, but after I have babies....look out! I lose it by the handfuls for weeks after giving birth.
I didn't read all of the replies but just be sure you are taking your vitamins. This should help, at least, keep your hair healthy. It's actually much more common to get nice full healthy hair while pregnant than what you describe, because of the extra vitamins. But everyone is different so maybe you will be lucky and lose it now and not AFTER you have the baby :)

My hair is very bright red and ive found not wetting it when I shower helps a lot!! I was it every other day n on the days I dont wash it I just tie it up n not get it wet n ive noticed my hair seems healthier n doesn't fall out nearly as much
My hair is very fine and am forever having issues with it :/ i love showers too i think i was a fish in a past life :p but i only wash my hair once a day or every other day i kinda feel like my hair might be getting thicker though :/ ill know once i get it trimmed but at the moment i feel like a wholly mammoth lol try a leave in conditioner and not putting your hair up in a tight headband if you do
