I’m Scared to Have a Baby Because My Hair Is Already Very Fine and See-Through

Hi,

I am a 26 year old female with (what I consider) very fine see- through hair on the crown and top of my head- more noticeable on the crown. The first time I noticed this was when I was 20 years of age after I changed where I part my hair. I don’t know if I had been hiding it for years prior to this with the way my hair had been parted? As far as I can tell it hasn’t gotten any worse since I noticed it 6 years ago. It makes me so so paranoid as I think everyone can see it. My hair below my crown is normal.

I am so afraid that I will lose all my hair soon. I am particularly petrified of having a baby (which I would love one day) as they say after you have a baby your hair will fall out which I just couldn’t cope with that.

I get highlights done every couple of months which definitely helps with disguising the thinning parts as when they grow out it is more visible. I don’t know what answers I am looking for by telling you all this?.. I think I just want someone to tell me that my hair will grow back one day and that I won’t loose anymore! Am I dreaming?……. I would also love to hear from someone of similar age who is/ has gone through the same thing with any advice.

Thank you for taking the tome to read my entry,

You need a diagnosis made as to what is causing your thinning hair. Sometimes we can identify a curable situation, but unless you see an expert in the field, you will not know what it is or what can be done.

If having a baby is important to you at some point in your future, you should settle the hair issue before that time comes. More importantly, having a baby does not automatically mean you will lose hair. I realize some women may notice hair loss, but MOST women do not have any hair loss issues with pregnancy or child birth.
