Pregnancy and My Nails

Hey guys, after months of not blogging due to mourning my dad's sudden death and finding out I'm pregnant, I'm back with the  intended purpose of providing you guys with info every 2 weeks.


So my pregnancy has been very interesting to say the least. From getting through morning sickness to having regular doctor's appointments due to my pregnancy being high risk I've been pretty distracted.

  

However I have been lucky enough to experience one of he best pregnancy perks well for me as a nail professional who constantly has her hands in water. Long, hard nails! Something they haven't been since I was a teen (thank you baby!). Well I shouldn't give all the praise to my soon to be bundle of joy.

My nails along with my bump.

Its also due to the steady supply of nutrients provided to me and the baby from prenatal vitamins, extra fruits, generally eating healthier than before and an increase in hormones. Thanks to these factors I'm enjoying longer, stronger and faster growing nails.

One thing I have observed as well is the introduction of grooves on my nail plates which made me a little concerned because I knew that it could be an indication of damage to my nail beds, or an underlying health problem. Turns out it could be due to simply being pregnant or the effects of my kidneys not working as well as they should at this point.

Whatever the reason I'm happy for these healthy even more beautiful nails (minus the grooves) I have now and I am hoping that I can continue to enjoy having them after the baby is born.
