Does pregnancy make your nails week??

[Curzy]

Hi Everyone

I have a client who comes to me for regular manicures. She had a baby about 8 months ago. Since then her nails have become weaker and weaker and now have started peeling.

I have recommended all sorts of different things to strengthen the nail but nothing seems to work. She recently had a full blood test and everything come back normal.

Any thoughts - does pregnancy or post pregnancy make your nails week.

I always found that they were mega stong and grew well when pg, like your hair is thicker when pg.

BUT

as soon as you've had the baby the extra hormones vanish and so does the beautiful nails and hair.:cry: It actually looks like you are losing more hair than normal but its just the ones that didnt fallout when you were pg

I was told you either lose a tooth:Scared: or your nails:Scared: after having a baby, i lost my nails but they are starting to recover at last.

Unfortuantly when I was pregnant my nails were still very weak .


My hair did grow along stonger and went lovely and shinny. Unfortuantly when my baby was born my hair started going grey!!!!!!!!!!:cry: I am only 26!

I will look like my nan by time I am 30.

i know this is nothing to do with the thread, sorry xxx

but why is it when a woman goes grey its omg she is grey and old but when a man goes grey its ohhh he is sophisticated.
My other half is abit grey and calls himself a silver fox, lmao its just gray.

And as for nails...i have 3 children and with all 3 my hair and nails were fab i think its natures way of saying sorry for making us all bloated with rubbish bladders. But after the birth, well... nature just gives up on us and i was back with limp hair and thin nails.
