Can you take hair skin and nails while pregnant????

I'm 12weeks pregnant with baby #2. I take my prenatals but I also use to take the hair skin and nail pills by ITWORKS... I was wondering if I can continue to still take them ? Since its a vitamin? And still take my prenatls...

Often vitamins really are safe.  Some doctors think they are pretty much just a way to create expensive urine as we pee a lot of them out.  Our body's ability to absorb vitamins is trickier than most know.  But to be safe, I would A. ask your doctor this question and B. contact the manufacturer with information.  Vitamins and supplements is a very unregulated market--- but hopefully they can help you. Otherwise, it's just 9 months and then you can resume your beauty products.   good luck

Well with my daughter I didn't notice any hair growth change so that's why I started taking the pills after I had her... And I got pregnant again and was wondering if I could continue to take them...

Personally I wouldn't take them as you don't know if any of the ingredients will have an adverse affect. Plus pregnancy usually makes your hair and nails thicker and stronger so instead you may like to invest in a new razor lol :)
