When I was nine months pregnant I went to the dentist, my teeth was lovely, not one filling in my mouth.

Fast forward 10 months later, I have 3 fillings, 1 crown and 1 extraction.

I knew babies really take it out of our bodies, but Geez! I didn't realise they can seriously ruin your teeth!

I will need full dentures if I ever had another baby!

The funny thing is I was hooked on milkshakes throughout my pregnancy, and I consume a vast amount of dairy but nope, my son is taking ALL the goodness out of me, which is evident when you see him, he is a big plump happy baby!

The old wives' saying that a woman loses a tooth per child seems to be borne out by this US study of more than 2000 women http://ajph.aphapublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/98/7/1263?maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=&author1=russell&andorexactfulltext=and&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=0&sortspec=relevance&resourcetype=HWCIT


The conclusion is that "Parity is related to tooth loss among American women, but the mechanisms of the association remain undefined" or "the more often you've been pregnant, the fewer teeth you're likely to have, but we aren't sure exactly why"!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
