Hi titli,

I have read in internet that tooth aches are common during pregnancy. But I'm not very sure about this. Check with your gynec and ensure whether u can go to the dentist. if the pain is too high, its better u visit the dentist with gynecs advise.

for stretch marks, it appears post pregnancy. it's bcoz the muscles in various parts of your body expand during pregnancy and after delivery they contract and thats the reason stretch marks appear. applying olive oil from start of 4th month to stomach, thighs and breasts will help in not getting the stretch marks. you have to apply the oil and leave for an hr. I applied from the 4th month until delivery and i don't hv any marks.

Cheers,
Malar

With regard to toothaches, you could be losing calcium to your baby, which is very common. Inorder to evaluate the extent of damage you may need to visit your dentist. If it is just loss of enamel and beginning signs of decay they may prefer to leave it alone until after delivery. But most important is that you make sure you are getting enough dietary calcium everyday to reduce the progression of any calcium deficiency. You need 4-5 servings of milk/milk products per day. Try not to take too much of foods that bind calcium when you are consuming your major calcium rich food... for eg. try to drink plain milk instead of milk with coffee or hot chocolate. Hope this helps.

I am also in my eighth month and suffering from toothache. It was due to the cavity in my teeth. I asked my OB if i can get the filling done and she gave me a go ahead as the baby's development has already taken place and there is no need to worry...so yesterday i got the filling done and feeling much more comfortable today. :)
