After giving birth it is normal to lose your hair. Befor you become pregnant you usually lose about 100 hairs from your head per day. Then during pregnancy hormones stop your hair from falling out as much in order to provide your body with extra warmth. You also tend to grow hair in places you hadn't befor (like on your stomach or toes). Your hair grows in thicker. Then after giving birth the sudden drop in these hormones causes all the hair you were supposed to lose (100 hairs per day over 9 months) to fall out over a period of a few months.
A better clue that you might be pregnant, though, would be your breasts. Hormones cause your breasts to swell and become sore sometimes as soon as the first week of pregnancy. This is how I knew I was pregnant a month befor any pregnancy test said I was. The best way to find out if you are pregnant is to get a blood test at the doctor's office.

Hair loss is many times associated with hormones inbalance, that's one of the reasons it may be associated with pregnancy. But it may also be caused by certain minerals & vitamines deficiency, or a skin problem. You should ask your Dr.
Take care and God Bless you.

Baldness is inherited out of your mom's genes, no longer your father's. So it relies upon. Is it your uncle on your mom's area? Is it your grandpa on your mom's area? If sure, then you are possibly going to be bald too on your destiny. My boyfriend has the comparable undertaking. His uncle on his mom's area is bald and went bald at a reasonably youthful age too. My boyfriend has skinny hair that falls out throughout his pillow. the perfect ingredient you're able to do is discover Rogaine preventative/hair regrowth.

After pregnancy, it is common to lose some hair, but not during pregnancy. The only way to know is to take a test.

this could be caused by hormones, i noticed the same thing with my hair around 28-32 weeks, be sure to take you prenatal vit. every day. It should subside, at least until after the little one arrives and then the hormones could cause additional shedding.
Blessings!

Yes, it's true. Sadly, it happened to me. It wasn't enough to make me bald, but it WAS annoying to clean it up. :)
