Any one else had this?

Normally I have really rubbish nails that are so weak they break before they get to any decent length.
Well now when I'm 14 weeks pregnant and when I was previously pregnant with my daughter they grow, they are strong and don't break.
Anyone got any ideas as to why this happens? I'm just intrigued more than anything.
Thanks xxx

it's a common pregnancy thing, got something to do with your hormone levels being high.dont know which hormone it is though lol

I am 29 weeks pregnant and for a while now i have also noticed that my nails have
been very strong, previously having also had rubbish nails! I thought it was something
to do with the Sanatogen pro-baby vitamins i have been taking since i discovered i was
pregnant. I wonder what will happen after the baby is born!
