Well, since becoming pregnant, when I brush my teeth, the grizzly scene that accompanies it is like a scene out of Texas Chain Saw massacre.
Now my Grandmother and mother all developed gingivitis during their pregnancies, so my mother is very adamant that I should see a dentist when I have been pregnant. And to stop my mother going on, and on, and on, and on...well you get the picture, I booked an appointment with the dentist to have my teeth "cleaned" for 4pm today.
My gums already look like they have gone ten rounds with a mini Mike Tyson, but I cannot understand what on earth possessed someone to come up with the idea that sticking a tiny vibrating hook like dealy into my already aggravated gums, might actually "decrease" the inflammation. But someone did.
To top it all, they keep telling you it doesn't hurt, when clearly it does... I would have thought my weak and gargled yelps and panic stricken eyes might have been a dead give away...if not that the endless amounts of blood now spewing from my open mouth... If at any other time of your life you were bleeding that much, from any other place on your body, people would expect you to be in pain, and have much sympathy, if not a ride to the local hospital, but dentists seem to be immune to this.
Needless to say, I absolutely covered the dentist in blood... So she must have looked very inviting to the next poor innocent soul that had to fall into her evil clutches.
The baby is significantly unimpressed with mummy's bp raising to dramatic proportions and the contractions of muscles throughout her body.... Not to mention the fact that as mummy was lowered down in the chair...baby got himself all squished up against her lungs... Mummy might have had trouble breathing, but baby was quite unhappy at having his personal space curtailed and has made this fact known to mummy, by kicking her hard in the bladder so she almost pee's herself on the way home...
It's been half an hour now and my gums are still bleeding and sore...I hope my midwives are far more gentle.
Rant over... you can go back to the real posts now...
