SnowAngel: Yay for setting a date. That is DH's birthday!
Seaweed: Yay for July 24! How exciting to talk about labor and delivery. My NT is done at 20 weeks.
My day didn't go so well. No baby appt. but a dentist appt. that turned out so badly. This was my third trip after two prior Xray appts. (One in April, one in May.) Turns out I have severe peridontal disease.
My options are removing whole set of upper teeth and leaving all but 4 front teeth on the bottom. Then having surgery and every 3 months cleanings on those that are left. The Dr. said that the disease would probably take those teeth within 5 years, even with the surgery. As its so uncommon to have this advanced of a disease at my young (feel so old age.) Its most likely hereditary or a gene change. Anyways... My other option is...
Having all of my teeth extracted. I'm so upset about this. When they are gone the disease is gone and never comes back. So within the next two months all my teeth will be removed.
On top of that I'll tell my Baby Dr. on Tuesday. My disease increases my risk 7 times to have a low birth weight, preterm, or still birth baby. He will most likely want to monitor me.
I go to my general dentist next Thursday for a consultation. Most likely I'll have all my teeth removed in three different visits. One side of hidden teeth, then the other, then the front, while there will be a temporarly front and bottom denture placed. After all that heals I'll be fitted for dentures as I won't be getting the 20k-45k denture implants as I'll need a full set.
I did know that there may be an issue when my dentist reffered me to a specialist. But, geez I didn't know it was so bad that I'm going to lose all of my teeth and pose risks to my baby.
