HELP! I’m Pregnant and I Swallowed My Tooth!

This was one pregnancy side-effect I wasn't prepared for.

This week has just been a mess.

I'm tellin' ya, when it rains it pours. The best part about this week was my doctor's appointment yesterday. Mommy is super healthy, baby is super healthy and her heartbeat is nice and strong. It's always comforting to know that all is going, and growing, perfectly.

Then, this afternoon... I swallowed my tooth.

I knew that people have had problems with their teeth while pregnant, but I didn't expect to swallow my dang tooth!

Here's what happened:

UGHHH, this is the WORST! I can't get into the dentist for another week or so, but thankfully I have a medical release to allow dental work in the first place.

Apparently, I'm not the only one this has happened to!

My friend Lori never had a cavity in her life, then 7 in two years when she was pregnant. I've had friends lose their teeth, Lisa said her gums just started bleeding uncontrollably while she was talking to a client at work and others had the exact same problem as me.

Now that I swallowed my tooth, is baby girl going to start growing teeth! Eek!
