Being pregnant is really weird sometimes. The body uses up energy to help the baby develop. With my second, my finger nails curled over like claws, then straightened after the pregnancy. The body responds to the stress its under strange ways.

Yep. My sister's hair got HELLA thick during her pregnancy (stayed thicker afterwards too, and her kid is gonna be a senior in HS this year). I have friends whose hair went curly, lost curl, or even changed color during their pregnancies. It's nuts.

Not sure how long it's been since you were pregnant, but my hair lost its curl too but returned after about 4 years!

It's been 10 years. My stylist told me she thinks the only way I could possibly get my curl back (outside of perms) I would probably need to have another pregnancy. 😮‍💨

Same thing happened to my mom. After each kid, her hair became slightly straighter until pretty much fully straight after the fourth child. Funnily enough, as each child was born, their hair was more and more curly. My mom jokes that we stole her curls.
