Hi all, the thing is im 6days overdue, and iv been on anti biotics for about a week for a kidney infection, therefore my hole in my already filled tooth hasnt gotten infected! but im nearly out of the anti biotics and could do with going to the dentist befor it gets infected and painful
But being 6days overdue is putting me off...
1 = i think isit worth going before baby arrives?
2 = i cant be bothered
3 = i dint want to suddenly start having contractions or my waters breaking on a dentist chair!
oh i dunno im confused, someone please help!!!

Oh heavens, get it fixed. You won't have time after the baby comes and you really don't want to be in pain etc then.

The odds of your waters going on the dentist chair are pretty slim and if it brings on contractions you'll have invented a new self-induction method!

Thanku i know its best i do, its just when your feeling this big its hard to get motivated to do anything, especially going to the dentist. Hey i supose its worth a try and thn i can let everyone know that if there overdue they need 2 break a tooth then go to the dentist ha ha! thanx agen xx

what makes you think that your filled tooth will get infected? i don't really understand

Def go to the dentist and get it out of the way, woman! How much would it suck to have your baby's early days tangled up with a tooth infection -- yech.

My dentist would not fill my tooth late in pregnancy - so I went back two weeks after I gave birth and had it done then.
