NAILS

Increased levels of estrogen and androgen during pregnancy may make your nails grow faster and stronger. This isn't the case for every woman as some experience weak, brittle nails. Things usually go back to normal three to nine months after pregnancy.

If your nails are weaker, avoid using things like acetone, nail polish or acrylic nails. Instead keep your nails as short as possible, clean them and use nail oils that are rich in vitamin E to nourish them.
