Is it being pregnant or the vitamins pregnant women take that does it?

Both...
Your hormones and the vitamins both have a hand in it.

And NO IT IS NOT just the prenatals...
I had my son a year ago and I'm still taking the prenatals because I had some left over...and it's not the same.
They help...but not like when i was pregnant.

It is the prenatal vitamins that do it. I am 29 weeks pregnant and taking prenatal vitamins and my nails are growing longer than they used to but my hair isn't growing much at all.

Both. The hormonal changes and the prenatal vitamins. My hair is thicker and grows faster because of hormones and shiner and healthier because of the pills. My doctor and hair stylist both confirmed that. My nails are also stronger and grow a lot quicker. It's nice though...thinking about staying on a the pills after pregnancy.

It's the vitamins. I noticed that when I stopped taking my vitamins that I started losing my hair. My best friend takes prenatals for her hair and nails, and she isn't pregnant.

I think it may be some of both. I think it is both the hormones at work that would happen anyway, but the pre-natal vitimins really do help.
I have heard of women taking them even when not pregnant for that very reason, but I guess that would be pretty expensive, and I'd also be a bit concerned about ODing on vitamins!

Probably the vitamins. My nails do grow like crazy, hair not so much.

It's pregnancy hormones.
DW was on prenatal vitamins for years before getting pregnant. While pregnant, the condition of her hair was great with very little hair loss. But once the pregnancy was over, hair started falling out in clumps.
Among other things, natural hair loss is dimenished during pregnancy. But once the pregnancy is over, all the 'extra' hair kept during the pregnancy starts falling out.

It comes from the prenatal vitamins, the growth hormones helping your baby grow and the increase in blood mass.
