Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to look into the connection between hair loss in the
first and second trimesters of pregnancy and the levels of vitamin D3 and ferritin in blood
serum of pregnant at Tikrit Hospital. The participants in the study varied in age from 22
to 38 years old, and the sample consisted of 50 pregnant women experiencing hair loss in
the first and second trimesters of their pregnancy. A comparison group consisted of 30
pregnant women who did not experience hair loss. Every research participant had their
serum levels of ferritin, vitamin D3, white blood cell counts, and platelet counts tested.
When compared to women who did not experience hair loss during the first and second
trimesters of pregnancy, Vitamin D3& ferritin levels were found to be significantly
reduced in women who experienced hair loss throughout the first and second trimesters
of pregnancy, compared to normal levels in woman who did not associated with hair loss
but rather their variations were explained by the typical physiology of pregnancy .
