What Causes Yellow Colored Toenails During 20 Weeks Pregnancy?
I am in my 20 weeks pregnancy. Suddenly I noticed that my toenails are getting yellow. But my finger nails are normal means pinkish. I am very much worried. What is the reason behind this sudden change. Moreover, I don t use finger paints. I don t think it is fungal infection.

Thanks for a detailed query.
What happens is in pregnancy as the size of the uterus increases in presses upon the structures nearby. It presses to the vessels going all the way down to the legs and supplying the peripheries.
It should be compared clinically with physical examination by your OB/GYN Physician so as to rule out chances of anemia which also causes such issues in pregnancy. We need to see your Complete blood counts and Differentials blood test too for the same.
