i'm sorry i can't remember how far along you are. my hair has actually gotten thicker. i love it, it is so nice but i know i'll lose it all once the baby comes so that kinda sucks. i'm enjoying it while it lasts though. i think it's more common for hair to get thicker and then you lose it in the 6 months after you have the baby but maybe it effects different women differently. you may want to check that you are getting enough vitamins and minerals and enough to eat. i think you were the one who posted about losing your appetite (?). if you aren't getting enough nourishment it may result in hair loss. also, it never can hurt to check with your doctor in case it isn't normal or is a sign of trouble. i hope it turns out okay!

Don't worry about it. I think it's normal. I know around that stage I was shedding hair pretty badly, now that i'm about 28 weeks my hair has gotten so much thicker and I hardly shed at all.

Hiya

This is my 2nd preg and I remember on 1st preg my hair just got thicker.

This time I was the same as you at that stage, I seemed to be losing hair left right and centre, now seems to have calmed down but doesnt seem to have gotten thicker.

im 28 4 by the way
xx
