Why do I keep getting ingrown nails!?!?

Question

Ever since I had my baby 8 weeks ago, I have suddenly been PLAGUED with ingrown nails! They are on my feet and hands. I don't cut my nails too short. I think some of them happen because my nails are breaking way down at the base. I don't know why. I am still taking my prenatal vitamins. What is going on???!!!

Answer 1

if the nails are breaking far back that is most likely what is causing the ingrowns some people are just "lucky" and always have ingrown nails. If they are really bad or infected I suggest you see a doctor

Answer 2

Honey, that baby took all of your calcium and protein! It is good that you're still taking prenatal vitamins, but there may be an underlying cause as to why your nails are breaking so far down. If this continues in two weeks, I'd go see your family doctor.  

Answer 3

the baby was draining all the calcium in your body for the last few weeks of the pregnancy and you're just now seeing it in your nails cuz it took awhile for them to grow out far enough to see the damage.  keep on the vitamins, make sure to take a liquid calcium/magnesium supplement before bed, and i'm sure they'll be back to normal in just a few weeks.
