pregnancy question

Hi, since I found out I was pregnant, i started getting these white lines/blotches on my fingernails. Does anyone know what this means? i heard once this was due to lack of calcium but I drink way more milk than the average person..
Any thoughts????

I was told they are calcium deposits and nothing to worry about.

i get them all the time and my Dr said before its lack of iron, there should be iron in your pre-natal vitamin but you may want to consider a liquid form of iron ( I get mine at the health food store) its easier for the body to absorb. I have never had an issue with this but iron can make you constipated. I would take dha to counter act that, also something that I take. I take the  expectant mothers pill, 2 a day and have never had poop issues. Both are very important in pregancy!
