What is alopecia?
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes your hair to come out, often in clumps the size and shape of a quarter. The amount of hair loss is different in everyone. Some people lose it only in a few spots. Others lose a lot. Sometimes, hair grows back but falls out again later. In others, hair grows back for good. There are different types of this condition. Alopecia areata is most common in its main form, but there are other, more rare types: Alopecia areata totalis means you’ve lost all the hair on your head. Alopecia areata universalis is the loss of hair over your entire body. Diffuse alopecia areata is a sudden thinning of your hair rather than lost patches. Ophiasis alopecia areata causes hair loss in a band shape around the sides and back of your head.
I was diagnosed with alopecia areata when I was pregnant with my son and now think I am pregnant what are the chances of alopecia returning?
Honestly it is impossible to predict. I have alopecia areata as well and have for many many years. It is true that pregnancy can affect autoimmune disorders to some extent- some experience regrowth during pregnancy only to lose the hair again after giving birth. Your case is opposite, but I'd guess there is a chance you can expect a recurrence while pregnant again assuming your initial diagnosis was correct. After all, if you do have Alopecia Areata, it is only in remission when you have full hair, not cured. Good luck, and congrats!
