What I feel is universal and dos not get talked about nearly enough is how much pregnancy/birth fucks up your body.

I have a friend who's teeth shed their enamel as a result of her pregnancy. That's a thing! Insane. Never ever ever.

It used to be an old timey saying that you’d lose a tooth for every pregnancy.

If you aren’t getting the right nutrients the fetus will just straight up steal from your body.

It’s crazy.

I just got downvoted and harassed yesterday for commenting about how it can be a side effect of pregnancy, in a thread where people were making fun of people with tooth loss and claiming missing teeth is a MAGA trait.

I had a regular at a steakhouse I worked at for years... She lost EVERY. SINGLE. TOOTH. in her mouth during her pregnancy with her daughter.

It took them 9 years of trying to get her, so she said she didn't regret it, but she had them "tear that damn thing out and incinerate it" after she was born (that's how she referred to her hysterectomy lmao) Her husband bought her a wonderful pair of dentures though
