Anyone else having hair PROBLEMS with pregnancy?

I know that many women get fuller, thicker, shinier, healthier hair during pregnancy (along with nails), but I don't seem to be one of them.

My hair is dull (which it has NEVER been), frizzy and dry. My nails feel like they grow fairly fast, but they are breaking so easily.

Anyone else having this??

My hair is also on the dry side and flat not to mention falling out; not in clumps or anything, but my dh has noticed the hair loss around our house and in the bathroom.  My nails are growing like crazy too!  It seems like every time I cut them, I need to cut them again!

With DS, my hair was awesome!! This time around...not so much lol. It's dry and wants to frizz out which I've never had a problem with before. I talked to my hairstylist about it and I bought some cream to put in my hair to help with it looking dry/frizzy. I couldn't tell you about the nail thing. Mine are always short as I'm a massage therapist and they have to be short.

I am losing hair..which comes with after having baby too. I swear I have so much hair in my brush in the morning. I do not have fuller, thicker, shinier hair...its the same.

As for my nails, they grow really fast (prenatals will do that) but they break often.
