Are there cases where the toe nails grow faster than the fingernails?

My toenails definitely grow faster than my fingernails. I must be one of the unusual people in this world because everything I read sayd that fingernails grow faster. I know for a fact that my toenails grow faster, but I have no idea why. I wish my fingernails would grow as fast as my toenails! I don't think that toenails grow faster than fingernails, it's that toenails tend to be stronger so they don't break as easily. That's why it seems to some people that their toenails are growing faster than their fingernails; Fingernails are more susceptible to breakage because they are thinner.

Why do babies have fingernails in the womb?

Babies develop fingernails in the womb as part of their overall growth and development. Fingernails begin forming around the 10th week of pregnancy and continue to grow until birth. These nails protect the sensitive tips of their fingers and may play a role in sensory exploration as the baby grows. Additionally, having fingernails can help with grasp reflexes once the baby is born.
