I'm not exactly too sure if this question has anything to do with pregnancy or if it's considered postpartum depression. I'm not depressed just a little stressed. But i think that comes with all new babys:) But i had a friend once tell me she lost some of her hair and had a few bald spots. I don't recall if it was during pregnancy or after. Well i have a 3 month old and i am getting somewhat of a bald spot on my front hairline. Actually two of them. On both sides above my temples. It's about the size of a half dollar. I'm a little worried and hoping it has something to do with pregnancy and not some life threating illness. Can someone please help?

This is happening to me as well, in nearly the exact same location you are describing. I have looked around on the internet and apparently its normal. The hair goes through a growth during pregnancy and then a shedding afterwards. It should last til about month 6 postpartum and your hair should be back to normal by 1 year! A LONG time to wait I know!
