That's not true. Some dentist's when your pregnant may not feel comfortable giving it to you. You CAN have the novacain injected into your gums and anything topical, but you can not have any form of gas anesthesia. Also, if you have xrays done, then you must be completly protected or they can not do it. I am an OB nurse and get this question all the time. please try to calm down. you will be fine. hope this helps
Well I need a root canal that I've been putting off for ages but he won't do that until after the baby is born because I would need an xray and the injection. I also need a filling redoing but he said he's going to do it without numbing me and it shouldn't hurt as it's only a shallow filling. I don't believe that for one minute though! x
I finally have darn near everything I need, all I need now is like soaps/diapers/clothes!
Wow, you are so organised, I still have loads to get. I keep having to add new things to my list all the time. Who knew something so little would need so much stuff! x
Alexis I've not bought a thing yet, keep telling myself I have loads of time but I'll probably still be saying that at 30-odd weeks
SORTED MY LEAVING DATE, YESSSS! Starting ML 20th August but using up annual leave before that so actually finish 26th July
only 12 weeks away! And if I take all 39 weeks which I hope to I'll be going back end of May. I'm so excited! x
Lucky you, I haven't even thought about sorting any of this out yet! x
12 weeks for me too until I start maternity leave, thats including 3weeks holiday so only 9weeks working woohoo!
Am I being daft here but im sure I was a papaya last week too at 22weeks???
I've seen other people say this, maybe the baby has a few weeks of not growing much!

the dentist can give you the numbing injection but some wont, its all about safety etc and outweighing the risks such, when i was pregnant with james two of my teeth collpased they wanted to give me the injection i said no i am too scared of needles an the sideffects but mostly its okay its only local and shouldn't effect the baby
He's not going to risk it while I'm pregnant so I'm going to have to wait for my root canal. I hate the dentist, I'd rather have 100 injections than spend a minute with the dentist! Looking forward to seeing the pics from your scan. Are you going to let us all know what you're having after this scan? Your bump is cute by the way
