vitamins during pregnancy

[trionam]

I am 8 weeks pregnant and I've noticed my hair falling out a lot, I am not alarmed or anything its just seems much thinner than it was a few weeks ago, does anyone know if this could be linked to a vitamin deficiency and if its safe to take a supplement, I am not back at the doctor for a good few weeks so any info now would be great.

Hair like everything else changes during pregnancy.You will be taking folic acid are you. Instead of resorting to pills can you get a juice like 5 alive or V8. Its always better to try and do things naturally xx.

there are supplements for pregnant women that you can take. I took a daily one by sanatogen for the first 5 months of my pregnancy as well as obviously trying to eat healthily as oldwoman says.
My hair fell out a lot after I gave birth, your body is concentrating on making a little miracle, its bound to tire in other areas for a little bit.

thanks for your replys I remember it falling out after I had my first baby, but not before, at the moment I am only taking the folic acid, so I will try the with the juices and see how I go.
