Okay, so my nails have become rock hard forces of pretty happiness... my leg hair has basically stopped growing, my tummy is covered in hair... but umm, this morning my hair was like coming out like waaay more then normal. I had to clear off the drain in my shower twice so the water would continue flowing down, what's worse is it wasn't even a 20

I'm dealing with the same thing. Sorta annoying though!

you're not alone

I'm shedding worse than a cat! I don't remember this happening in my last 2 pregnancies. I'm not sure what's causing it, other than hormonal changes. I think it's pretty normal. My friend lost a lot of hair during her pregnancy. Her straight hair grew back in wavy. I'm hoping for the similar results. ;)

I do love that my nails are nice & strong. Not breaking & tearing all the time. Something to be said for vitamins & lot's of calcium.

I know! It's like... do I have to stop taking the pre natals after I give birth... they're making me super shiney & my nails are soooo awesome. They've always split off in little layers, but the layers don't even peel anymore!! LoL!!

I just wish my hair wouldn't fall out. It's super thick so i'm not to worried... it just seems like it can't possibly be healthy... *sigh* (my tummy hair could fall off....!!)

And if my curly hair grows back a little more straight I wouldn't mind one bit!

My super-stick-straight hair went wavy after I had Solstice... I found out when I cut it short.
Went straight again when my hormones leveled out. Now its super-shiny with the pregnancy...
You can take prenatal vitamins forever!

My hair is falling out by the gobs too. It's so gross and I hate it! I'm going bald!!!! (My midwife says it's totally normal.)

I'm envious that your leg hair has virtually stopped growing. I still remember what a contortionists feat shaving became in the latter months of my first pregnancy!

I made my mom promise she'd help me put nair on my legs!!! <3 One of my best friends told me before she went out with her husband for a date what a feat it was for her to shave!! Put the fear of god in me... I HATE HAIR!!

In pregnancy your body tends to produce more hair, and while I think it's more common to start shedding heaps after pregnancy, it makes sense that if you're making more you're losing more :)
