Your skin, hair and nails change in pregnancy long before your bump does — yet almost nobody warns you. One week you're glowing; the next you're itching, spotty, shedding hair in the shower and wondering whether that new dark line will ever fade. This warm, straight-talking guide walks you through every change you can expect, from the famous pregnancy glow to the side effects no one mentions at antenatal classes: stubborn melasma, stretch marks, brittle nails, changing moles, and the dramatic hair shed that follows birth. Written for tired and anxious parents, Skin, Hair and Nails in Pregnancy explains what is normal, what is temporary, and — crucially — which symptoms deserve a prompt call to your midwife or doctor. You'll learn which skincare ingredients are generally considered safe to reach for, which to avoid, and how to care for your skin, hair and nails in the fourth trimester and beyond. No judgment, no jargon, no false promises: just clear, practical guidance for a body doing extraordinary work. Part of The Pregnancy Companion Library.
