30 Unexpected Things That Happen to Pregnant Women that No One Talks About

#20 Brittle Nails

Not being able to enjoy your manicures and pedicures? Well! This could be due to brittle nails or cracking of nails in between your session.

If you are in love with your manicured hands, you need to know that brittle nails are commonly seen in pregnant women. They may also notice a change in their nail texture. However, like the rest of the pregnancy symptoms, this one also goes away, eventually.

This can also be seen as an iron or calcium deficiency in women. So, if you are noticing some change in your nail texture and color then it may indicate some deficiency. Brittle nails can be prevented by doubling up your calcium and iron intake.
