I am 23 years old and expecting my third child and first son. I have a 5 yr old daughter and a 1 yr old daughter and was diagnosed with AU during my 7th month of pregnancy in November 2009.
Congratulations Anna
What did you name your little boy and what did he weight?
As far as the hereditary thing, I have been told that children of an alopecian sufferer have a higher chance of contracting Alopecia. I was also told that anyone who has an auto-immune disease passes that on to their children-but...their children could contract another auto-immune disease - not neccessarily the same one.
Maybe you should ask your doctor for clarification? I think this is a very good question myself. Might 'Blog' it.
Good to hear that your little one is here safe and healthy
I lost all my hair at age 10. I wore a synthetic wig until 1989. I then purchased my first vacuum piece and I still love it today. It has made a huge difference in my life!!
