My feet are still the same, my nails have grown faster and so does my hair. It also seems more thicker and shiner. I'm carrying low and having a boy. But like you said, everyone Is different.

Actually, the swelling of your feet causes your bones to spread. It does not go away. It's scientifically proven.

Im 36w3d & Havent took a prenatal vitamin since i found out i was pregnant BUT however my nails grew so long and so did my hair. Your feet gets swollen so you probably wont be able to fit your shoes while pregnant but its only temporary. And i think its true about the girl sit high and boy sit low because im having a girl and my baby girl sits up high. Hope my comment helped ( :

I'm pregnant with a girl and carrying low, with my son I carried high. My feet grew half a size with my son and my nails are strong enough this pregnancy to carve an apple lol my hair grows fast anyway and is smooth and silky so I can't confirm or deny that one.

I think its the folic acid in prenatals that help nail and hair grow...yes your feet can grow (fact off of I didn't know I was pregnant) ... But the high low thing is sometimes true sometimes not lol
