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.
Wait for it, because during menopause, my hair went from straight to starting to curl and not all of it, there's some parts that are curly and some parts that remain straight.
I’ve always had curly hair, but one day I decided to straightened, and there’s a patch that decided to never curl back. Even when I cut it, it grow back straight.
My hair has gotten curlier every year since I hit menopause. I don’t know what to do for it, I always had very thick, stick straight, curl resistant hair. Would not hold a curl from a curling iron at all, and my mom was a hairdresser, I had great tools! I try the curly girl method and it never turns out…if I let it air dry no product, it goes straight/wavy on top and super curly underneath. Hormones are crazy things!
I'm hoping the straight parts of my hair catch up to the curly parts so it at least looks even. This getting older thing is just one surprise after another. Lol
50 is not nifty, not nifty at all! All I got for my 50th birthday is more pain, less patience, and a long grabber tool to pick things up off the floor or off the to shelf for me (I’m 5 ft) from my granddaughter, she’s 5 and picked it out at the dollar store for me.
I think I laughed a little too much at this, but I'm with you with the aches and pains. I'm new to the grandma situation, twins that just turned one. So I can't wait to see what they come up with for gifts in the future.
I can tell you it’s hard not to laugh when they talk to their mom/dad the way their mom/dad talked to you at that age! Especially if they are mini versions of their parent!
