I went for a scale and polish and was told I have a hole in my tooth at back and that I should get a temp filling. Is this safe and will local anaesthetic he needed. If so is that safe?

Yes local anaesthetic is totally fine at the dentist while pregnant at any stage. It does not cross the placenta in large amounts and does not cause birth defects or increase risk of miscarriage.

Check in with the midwife team once.
Did you go to a hygienist for the scaling or does the free NHS dental visit cover scaling/cleaning? Would you know?
Any tips (while pregnant and new born age) Please and thank you xxx

I have a little girl and Iām currently 5/6weeks pregnant. Iāve had two chemicals so this pregnancy so far has had me on edge. Although we did want another, Iām now scared.
My girl will be 3/4ish weeks off turning 2 when the next one is due.
Iām now starting to think about how itāll realistically work⦠having to get out with a toddler and a baby. How am I going to get them both up and ready, meals, nappy changes solo trips etc. like I was shopping earlier and thought āhow could I do this with 2?!ā When my toddler was climbing out the trolley and not letting me get her in the car seat etc.
panicking..

Hi, anyone else had experience of blocked ears during pregnancy? Feels like I'm underwater when I talk. It's intermittent. I'm 27 weeks but had it for a couple of months now. It's driving me nuts. Gp said I don't have wax and that it's eustachian tube dysfunction. Anyone had this and did it go after birth? Any tips of managing in the meantime? Thanks so much x

Ugh! I cannot stress it enough! The brain fog is insane and not something I canāt control š I left my phone in Starbucks bathroom and thought I left it in the Ross changing rooms. Whole time I didnāt notice until I was asked about my phone!! Luckily it was still in the Starbucks bathroom but UGH! How do you make this stop??? I swear one day I might forget I have a baby! My son! Like I donāt know. This isnāt predictable and it just happens when it happens and I donāt notice until asked. Do any other momās experience this? What do you take or do?
