Shift your free hand to the top of your belly and slide it down the side to feel for the baby's back. If that side is smooth and has even resistance to pressure, that's the back. If you can press in further, it's uneven and you feel a lot of movement, that's the front of the baby.
Dark Skin â If you have dark skin (African American or black people) it is not uncommon to have tan or dark lines running down your fingernails or toenails. Thought the possibility for cancer should not be ignored. Fungus â A fungal nail infection can cause discoloration of fingernails and toenails. Toenail fungus can cause the nail to appear dark even black. Often though there will be other shades of yellow and green associated with fungus.
When toenail thickening occurs in younger people it is most commonly due to infection or injury. If the thickening is caused by toenail fungus, the nail may turn a yellow or brown color before it begins to thicken. Fungal infections often have a foul odor, and may cause fluid to collect under the nail.
