Hair loss that is connected to pregnancy usually occurs after delivery. During pregnancy, an increased number of hairs go into the resting phase, which is part of the normal hair loss cycle. This condition is not serious enough to cause bald spots or permanent hair loss, and should begin to diminish within 3-4 months after delivery. If you feel that you are experiencing unusual hair loss while you are pregnant, this may be due to a vitamin or mineral deficiency.

It's relatively UNCOMMON to have hair loss during pregnancy because in most situations, when you are expecting, this is the time where your hair is most nourished and vibrant thanks to the influx of estrogens.

So, if you are noticing unwarranted hair fall more than the normal pace of 100 hairs a day when you are still in pregnancy, it might indicate something more serious and you should diagnose your situation as quickly as possible.
