Introduction

• Pregnancy brings a lot of changes not just
  the physical ones but the emotional surges as
  well. While the body prepares for the baby, you
  may experience certain additional effects as
  well. Hair fall during pregnancy is one such
  condition which may not be affecting everyone,
  but some women do experience it. This adds to the
  bouts of stress the expectant mother is going
  through.

Overview

• You may have heard that hair becomes thick
  and lustrous during pregnancy. This may be true
  for some women, thanks to high levels of the
  hormone estrogen, which slows hair shedding.
  Other moms-to-be, however, experience thinning
  hair or hair loss either during pregnancy or in
  the months immediately following birth.
• While concerning, hair loss is normal and can
  be caused by things like hormones, stress on the
  body, or medical conditions that accompany
  pregnancy.

5
Causes

• Improper Nutrition  Nutritious diet is extremely
  important during pregnancy to meet the increased
  demands of the body for various essential
  vitamins, minerals and proteins.
• Health conditions  Some pregnant women develop
  gestational diabetes while some are prone to
  fungal infections in the scalp, both of which can
  cause hair loss. 
• Hormonal Changes  Pregnancy brings in a lot
  of hormonal changes which can lead to women
  noticing changes in their hair growth and
  shedding patterns.
• Lack of vitamin B12  Researches suggest vitamin
  B12 slows the transition of hair cycle from
  anagen to catagen phase.
• Improper folic acid intake  Though there are no
  studies suggesting that folic acid affects hair
  growth during pregnancy, but some people have
  observed loss of hair due to low levels of folic
  acid.
• Genes  It has been observed that the chances of
  a pregnant woman experiencing hair loss are
  further increased if her mother too had to go
  through similar experiences during her pregnancy.
• Reproductive Issues  Hair loss is experienced in
  some cases as a result of a reaction to the
  discontinuation of birth control pills or other
  forms of birth control methods.

Other causes

• Androgenic alopecia (female pattern baldness) is
  caused by a shortened growth phase of hair
  follicles and a lengthened time between shedding
  hair and new growth.
• Alopecia areata causes patchy hair loss on the
  scalp and other parts of the body. You may
  experience hair loss and regrowth that is
  unpredictable or cyclical. There is no cure for
  this type of hair loss, but certain treatments
  may help stop loss and regrow hair.

7
Prevention 

• Eating a healthy, balanced diet. Focus on getting
  enough protein, iron, and other important
  nutrients. You may also ask your doctor about the
  best prenatal vitamin for you, whether
  over-the-counter or by prescription.
• Asking your doctor if any medications or
  supplements youre taking may contribute to hair
  loss.
• Skipping tight braids, buns, ponytails, and other
  hairstyles that may pull at your hair. While
  youre at it, resist twisting, pulling, or
  rubbing your hair.
• Washing hair gently and use a wide-toothed comb
  to avoid pulling hair too hard while detangling.
• Letting hair rest without harsh treatments like
  using hot rollers, curling irons, or hot oil and
  permanent treatments.
