A member asked:
Hi there i am pregnant and i am having excessive hair loss. is this normal during pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: A small percentage of woman experience hair thinning and hair loss during pregnancy. The same can happen to nonpregnant women during times of extreme stress. Hormonal changes can also promote hair loss a few months later in the pregnancy. All These types of hair loss are not permanent, however.
