Hair Falling out when Pregnant

[Stylin]

I found that when I was pregnant that my hair would fall out in clumps especially in the shower. I never really noticed a difference in my hair when it was dry or anything but it was evident after getting out of the shower. Did anybody else experience this when they were pregnant? I guess I just chalked it up to extra hormones.

I didn't notice losing any more hair during pregnancy. I seem to shed a lot of hair anyway. I've heard of this happening to friends who were pregnant, though. You're most likely right about being related to hormones.

When I was pregnant, my hair grew and got thick. Some women react different to pregnancy. The baby takes a lot out of you because everything you get thats good in your body (ex calcium) is taken by the baby.

I never had a problem with my hair falling out when I was pregnant. My hair is pretty thick anyways. I do notice that around that time of the month I can tell that I tend to shed more - I'm sure it's all related to those hormones.
