I didn't injure it, that I can remember. I am pregnant though. Wondering if pregnacy can make nails crack. It is cracked right across the middle. I think it will fall off. And I really wanted my feet to look nice when I deliver.

to +doc: Not my first pregnancy, my third and I'm scheduled for a c-section, so I won't be in labor. But I do have plenty of character, my friend. Let me put this plainly, to you can understand. I just don't want visitors in the hospital to be forced to look at a nasty cracked toenail if I can avoid it.

I would put a band-aid on tight so it won't crack more

Labor is no hold barred. File it down with a clean nail file, so fungus wont get attached to it. Soak your toes in listerins for 5-10 minutes. Put either lotion or vaseline on your feet and wear thick socks to bed. This will keep your heels from cracking as well. Hope it helps

You have got to be kidding me.
a) This is obviously your first pregnancy, or you'd know that by the time you deliver you won't give a rat's patootie what your feet or your face look like or who's in the room or what room you're in.
b) Pregnancy wreaks havoc on every bodily system. It's probably nothing, but mention it to the doctor next time you're in for a scheduled appointment.
c) Go read a book about characters with character; I recommend "To Kill a Mockingbird", "A Wrinkle in Time", and "Gate to Women's Country" to start off.

Your toenails are not strong enough, if you didn't injure yourself. Take more calcium, and vitamin E. E makes your hair and nails grow. Calcium makes them stronger. Also, not one, not even you will be looking at your feet when you deliver. You will be looking at the celing, wishing you weren't there, while everyone else is looking where it isn't so pretty, between your legs.

Put a bandaid on it to prevent it from getting caught on your socks otherwise there is nothing you can do. If it falls off it will grow back. Also when you deliver NO ONE is going to even be looking at your feet so don't worry about that.

i dunno if pregnancy can cause this, id tape it up with a plaster for a few weeks till it grows out or however long it takes, also ive had 3 kids and i like u wanted nice nails but really what does it matter? when ur feet r swollen and the last thing u think of when ur delvering a bay is 'oh i hope my feet r looking ok' it just doenst work like that as long as they dnt smell then i'd say u'll be fine.

Wrap it up in a bandaid so it doesn't break anymore, and just leave it. It'll either grow out on its own or fall out. Either way, there isn't much you can do for it. And if you want it to look nice when you're in labour, buy some coloured bandaids, I've seen pink, green, blue, that'd be cool.

Keep the toenail trimmed and cleam to avoid further damage or infection. Will fall off when it's ready.

You won't be able to see your feet when you deliver your baby. I think the doctor will understand.
