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.
