So i found out not too long ago that i am pregnant and as much as it is a wonderful thing it is stressful and stress is not my best friend lol. I have only been with my boyfriend for two months and our relationship is still very new and this is a big unexpected surprise. We are both very happy and cant wait but there are still the concerns and worries of being first time parents at such a young age and in a very fresh relationship. Since i found out i have noticed my hair is falling out more and more and new spots have started. I was so close to not having to wear a wig anymore and now progress at a hault and now going backwards and it is depressing to say the least. I know it is from all the stress and I am trying to not get stressed but it is very hard. I know i have to keep my head up and i know there are much more important things to worry about now. One big worry of mine is that my alopecia is genetic (two cousins and an uncle have it on both sides of my family me being the worst lol) and i worry everyday that i will pass this on to my child. That would be harder then having alopecia myself and watching my own hair fall out. I dont know if i have the strength to watch my child go through that having been there. It is difficult having it fall out again especially since i had so much hope to just be able to maybe go swimming this summer without any cares in the world and that doesnt look very good now. At the rate it is falling out i expect it to be almost gone again by the summer which is so hard to do all over again.
