During the 3rd month pregnancy, observed the hair loss is more than before pregnant. What causing this? And what to do?

Hair loss during pregnancy is uncommon. If hair loss is severe or occurs in round or oval patches, consult your doctor. This may be due to a vitamin or mineral deficiency.

Pregnancy-related hair loss most often occurs several months after delivery. During pregnancy, an increased percentage of hairs are in a growing phase and normal shedding of hair declines. After a woman gives birth, a large number of follicles shed hair at once. Although unsettling, this hair loss is temporary. Hair typically returns to its normal fullness and growth cycle within a few months.

I already have really thin and fine hair, I'm so freaked out I'm going to go bald or be able to see my scalp through what hair I have left after the baby is born. Could that happen? And is there anything you can do about it?

Don't worry. You don't really lose hair, your body just holds on to more while you're pregnant. After you have the baby, the hormones will go back to normal and hair will fall out, but it's hair that DIDN'T fall out when you were pregnant. YOU WILL NOT GO BALD!

o kay folks am I going to get huge bald spot or will this hair loss stuff stop and will it grow back? 11 months post partem and still loosing it!!!! Is there anything I can do for it?

maybe ask your doctor, but it happens because during and after pregnancy your hormones are all out of whack and trying to get back to normal..

And if so, how long did it last…and how much came out?
My hair started to come out last month, and it still hasn't stopped! I mean I don't know if it is normal shedding, or something else!

It could be really falling out, or it could just be breaking close to the scalp. It always SEEMS like a lot when you're pulling it out of the shower drain, but unless you're noticing balding patches, it's probably normal. Post-natal hair loss normally lasts only 2-3 months as hormones readjust, but if you're breastfeeding it can take a bit longer than that. Then there's breakage issues. Hormonal fluctuations can cause hair to become brittle, and "normal" hormone levels can be different after having children than before you ever had children. Hormones are strange and unpredictable things.

There's also nutritional aspects to consider. If you are breastfeeding, or simply exhausted taking care of the new baby, you may not be getting the nutrition your body needs. Low vitamin B and iron levels can seriously affect your hair and nails.

Continue taking your prenatal vitamins, drink lots of water, and your hair should return to normal within 6 months.
