About Me:
Well it all began just before my 30th birthday and after the birth of my daughter, now six, I noticed a bald patch at the back of my head when doing my hair. Little did i realise within the next 3 months I would lose 70% of my hair. Friends and family did everything to boost my confidance, but, all i did was cry. After unsuccessful attempts at wearing wigs which itched, was too hot etc i resolved to wearing hats. Mmmm not a very good idea I have to say. Then I was silly enough to travel to London to have a 'volumiser' created on my head. However, that was short lived and a lot of money down the drain. Eventually I returned to a shop in glasgow and after several attempts at different wigs I chose the one I really suited. My confidence increase and off I went to uni to study primary teaching. After two years my hair grew back but here I am yet again, hair is practically gone and I'm devastated, so much so I can't look in the mirror, make excuses not to go out with friends, have put on weight and suffer with depression. Today I came across this blog so heres hoping people out there will help me through this.

Pregnancy and hair growth?

Posted on November 25, 2009 at 9:32am 2 Comments

Well folks I have just discovered I am in the early stages of pregnancy. This was a shock but a happy one. We have two boys 12, 11years and a girl of 6. Obviously as I am early we have decided to wait for the 12 weeks. As I am in my final year at University doing my teaching degree I am hoping the side effect to pregnancy allow me to keep up the work haha!!! Does anyone know what happens with aa during pregnancy, will my hair grow back??

Hi Claire,

Seems to be quite a few of us from Glasgow here! Must be something in the water.

Welcome to the site - I'm sure you'll find loads of people here to help and inspire you. I think it's really great to find so many people going through a similar experience, especially when so many are accepting of what is happening to them. I come back now and again when it's all getting worse and I'm feeling a bit down. Normally makes me feel just that little bit better.

Erica.
