Went to the hygienist today and despite it being in my notes that I’m pregnant and me turning up looking large, round and sweaty, they missed the memo. She was surprised by how much my gums bled and surprised when I told her the scale and polish was a bit savage today. Whilst she had a million tools in my mouth putting that toothpaste stuff in she goes ‘it might depend on where you are in your cycle’ so I patiently wait till I can speak to tell her I’m pregnant and she is like ‘well this explains EVERYTHING’. On the way out I check and it is definitely in my notes (they tried to bump my checkup appointment to next year so it was they first/only place I pulled the ‘actually I’m pregnant’ card to get an appointment.
Anyway. My teeth feel clean but my mouth does feel ouchie. And I dunno if I feel a bit put out that I wasn’t clocked as pregnant despite a big bump, and the fact that I had to waddle slowly up the stairs puffing and panting, but was just written off as
large and sweaty instead of
large, sweaty AND pregnant. It’s not even that hot here but I was done with life by about half 3
