One experience I can turn down January 7, 2008

[more takes on ONE | previous Manic Mondays]

ONE

An old German superstition says:

Jede Schwangerschaft kostet einen Zahn! -
A woman will loose one tooth during each pregnancy!

While I was 16 weeks pregant with Luis I had the devil of toothache – one of my wisdom tooth began to ache without any warning. Of course this had to happen on a Saturday. My dentist´s medical practice was closed – so I had to see the on-duty medical unit. The tooth had to be pulled out… German anesthesias contain epinephrine which can harm the unborn baby.
Guess what happened next… Yes… *ouch*
The dentist used his trephine to trench the wisdom tooth into four pieces and pulled every single piece out. Yes… *quadruple ouch* That was one experience I didn´t want to make again.

But… you know, there´s always a “but”. Yesterday marked week 16+4 of my pregancy with Hamster 2.0 – aaaaaand… yes, bad bad déjà vu. Devil of toothache, rushing to the on-duty medical unit, but it wasn´t necessary to pull out the tooth, just a roof canal treatment. Did I say just??? Remember the epinephrine in German anesthesias??? Have you ever had a roof canal treatment without narcosis? That´s one experience I will definitely never ever make again :,(

Please leave your hugs in the comments *g*

Have a great Monday, folks -
