I have developed patchy Alopecia Areata as a result of getting pregnant.
My hair has fallen out from getting pregnant and I am now 14 weeks pregnant and it is still falling out. I can still hide the patches but they are getting worse and worse and I am finding it really distressing and as a result I am not enjoying being pregnant.
I cannot have any intensive treatment as I am pregnant but I have been precribed steriod lotion and I am having an integrated hair system fitted next week in the hope that it boosts my confidence - even though it costs a small fortune.
I have never suffered hair loss before getting pregnant.
I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience and if so how long it took for the hair to regrow.
