Did pregnancy cause your silver jewelry to tarnish?

Bun & Bub’s Mama asked:


I’m almost 20 weeks pregnant. Recently, I noticed that my bracelet (a sterling silver bracelet that I’ve been wearing regularly for years) is tarnished. So, I cleaned it with tarnish polish and the next day, it was tarnished again.

I did a google search on this issue and could only find a few other pregnant women complaining of this happening, but no explanation (other than the general “hormonal” reasons).

Has this happened to anyone? I don’t remember it happening with my other pregnancies. While it’s not totally bothersome, I am quite curious and want to make sure that I’m not deficient of a certain vitamin (By the way, I take a prenatal vitamin everyday).

Thanks.

    Oh. I thought this was a figurative question, not literal. :D Sorry, I have no idea. Probably has to do with the hormones.

    Most likely the chemistry in your body. I know some women who aren’t pregnant that can’t wear silver jewelry without it tarnishing so I think it just has to do with your chemical/hormonal makeup. Plus if it has only done it now that you are pregnant I am sure that is the case. Best wishes!!!!!
