lustrous locks and fab nails....I dont think so /=

Hi Ladies,

Has any of you experienced hair loss and brittle nails instead of longer locks and super hard nails? Im taking the PNV's the folic acid, calcium and Iron. And my hair is the same length, kid you not my hair is falling every single day and my nails are splitting into two, they bend easily fingernails feel very sensitive.  Dr said to continue taking the regimen as Rx. Im wondering if anyone is experiencing something similar. Do please share, im 25 weeks 4 days

My hair has become wirey and stands up everywhere sometimes...it never did that before I got pregnant. And my nails have stayed the same. My mom did have some hair loss with her last pregnancy I believe, mostly caused by stress. Google has all kinds of natural ways to help with hair and nail health, I would start there. Good luck!

Also you can soak nails in pure lemon juice. It helps strengthen them :)

Lol @ vixemm I'm 39 weeks and feel the same way I'm so pale I've gained these random red spots on my forehead and my nose they look like little broken capillaries. ..And I'm sure as crap not glowing in fact because people can be so nice I've been told I look miserable these past few weeks so that must mean I look as bad as I feel huh lol

My nails look like crap!! My hair has been on and off (i'm 27 weeks). But I had 2 brain surgeries last summer so they said my hair issues could be from that. Wish I could get my nails back though...they look like I chew them and my cuticle, but they are just peeling away to nothing :-(

I am experiencing hair loss too. And it's super flat and dry. My nails are long and strong though which is odd to have one and not the other

I am experiencing hair loss. My doc told me that women experience their hair loss/gain at diff times during pregnancy. So hopefully we will experience the lustrous hair towards the end.

I'm currently 17 wks +1d and I also have the same issue. Sadly I have no idea how to achieve the nice nails and lustrous hair.  Hope someone has good advice for this. :/
