I too have experienced excessive shedding/hair loss while pregnant...in fact my entire pregnancy. My dermatologist suspects the shedding began after coming off of the pill and continued due to the pregnancy. I have been to sooooo many dr. who all tell me this is temporary hair loss which will subside once my hormone levels are balanced again. My dermatologist stated that I need to expect the condition to get worse after the baby is born, but together we will assess the situation and come up with a game plan. Diffuse shedding is difficult enough, but the condition of my hair has only compounded the problem of styling. So, I def. don't look my best...but am still trying! All I know is that at the end of the day I truly believe the dr. who are caring for me and that my hair will regrow...although it may take some time. Right now I am focused on my healthy pregnancy/baby! Please let me know if this post helps anyone...it has been a very LONG journey getting to this point!
