Prenatal vitamins are suppose to help with hair and nail growth.

something to consider:
get your thryoid checked
I always like to rule out the medical stuff first
it’s very common for your body’s thyroid to go wacko during/after pregnancy

ask to get a full thyroid panel run
& see if you can get the actual number from the TSH test. A lot of docs/labs still go by the OLD scale, where #s up to 5.5 can still be called ‘normal’. The NEW recommendations are not over 3.5. Even though it’s been YEARS since they adjusted the TSH range, some docs still aren’t aware…and many don’t know that the ideal range is 1-2 for most women…

My endo likes to see that one between 0.35 and 2.0. Some people can get up really high with no symptoms.

Just wanted to agree with Laura that it may possibly be a thyroid problem?? This just happened to me after the birth of my second son. I started losing a lot of hair, which I know is totally normal after childbirth, but it seemed excessive compared to the hairloss after my first son. So I had by TSH level checked and it was 4.777 (hypothyroidism). The hairloss was the only symptom I had — not really any fatigue (at least not more than what you’d expect with having two in diapers, LOL!)

I agree with Laura.

Also Biotin one of the B vitamins is excellent for nails, hair growth and nice looking skin;. need to take about 1mg a day. There is no toxic levels of this.

Here are some more info:
