Are you taking your prenatal vitamins. This is more than likely some type of vitamin deficiency. I'd all the doctor and make them do blood work to check your vitamin levels.

That sounds like a vitamin definiency to me. Make sure you are taking your pre-natal vitamins. If you are, you need to call your OB.

Everyone is right, it very well could be a Vitamin Defeciancy (SP) but it could also be a thyroid disorder. One of the symptoms of Hypo- and Hyperthyroidism is losing your hair.

They probably did a thyroid check when you first got pregnant, but that was 6 months ago and things change, it is also kind of hard to diagnose, it took my mom years before the doctors finally did the correct blood test exactly right before she was diagnosed.

Talk to your doctor, some hair loss is normal but if it is coming out in clumps you should definatly be concerned.

Pregnancy changes alot in your body, including your hair.

I read that some peoples hair grows very quickly and other people have hair loss.

I know that hair is greatly affected in pregnancy, as you are advised not to have perms etc as your hairs structure changes.

Good luck
