Wow, I never had any real contractions until I went into labor. But I do know some people have them for weeks. In regards to your above post about dates and such–I guarantee that as you go through these final weeks you will be SO happy when you go into labor you won’t care when it is. The last weeks are tough. Hang in there!!

Eeeeee Kacie, I am getting so excited for you! But it sounds like you have a little more work to do before baby boy gets here I hope he stays put until you’re ready, but even if he doesn’t, you’re so on top of things — I’m sure everything will be just fine. I can’t wait to see the baby pics!!

Kacie, have you checked out mothering.com? There are message boards there that are WONDERFUL and you could possibly find a good ped there. Good luck!

Oh, I agree with your compelling reasons for baby to stay put a little bit longer. But our babies might not so I guess we should get cracking on cleaning the house and all that good stuff.

How exciting!! You’re right thought, it could be longer. My SIL had contractions for weeks before she delivered and she went a week over her due date. I haven’t had any real ones yet but those BH’s are a pain!
Crazy about your teeth!! Hormones do crazy things to us, like I haven’t been able to wear my contacts the last 4 months.
We don’t have a pediatrician yet either, but we scheduled a consultation on Monday. I joined a local nursing mom’s group and they suggested this group of docs. We’re going to ask them some questions but I’m hoping we don’t have to ‘shop around’ too much!
Good luck on your to-do’s I’ve got some myself!!

Ya know, I think you’re right. My teeth issues are probably pregnancy-related, which is strange….but as you said, our hormones are doing crazy things right now.

In the past few weeks or so, I’ve noticed my teeth have been stained in patches. This has never happened before! It might be my raspberry leaf tea (hope not!) or just another pregnant tooth thing.

I just got back from the dentist and she put a temporary fill on the cavity since she didn’t want to use anesthesia cuz of the baby. I’ll go back in a few months and have her do a proper repair.

She was able to buff off the staining, which was nice.

I really do like her, and I don’t want to switch. I think she actually is a perfectly good dentist; it’s just I’m having crazy problems I guess.

I know those early contractions do important work too, but they felt like such a tease to me. I hope baby comes closer to when YOU want him to.

On the tooth thing: You may want to ask/read around before you leave your current dentist: It may be significant that both these fillings fell out when you were pregnant. (I have no factual knowledge that this is the case, just thinking it was an odd coincidence.) I remember reading that hormone/mineral/blood volume changes can really affect the teeth and gums when you’re pregnant — that might be an interesting challenge for a dentist. And the relevant thing would be I remember reading about women having teeth break: but how much of a rarity that is if you take your prenatals and eat well? I don’t know.

Or it may be as you think right now, and your current dentist is just not very good at fillings. Sorry you have to deal with the complication right now!
