Ok .. agree .. some women have nails which aren't very sightly .. I can't understand why nails go to pot during pregnancy though. Ok .. to do with the calcium ? Like teeth ? Surely they would recover afterwards though ? A course of calcium tablets would help possibly ? Course I have to take them all the time now to prevent osteoporosis (being of that certain age .. sob, sob) and has certainly improved the strength in my nails.
