I hope I don't need anything major after this one comes along! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-gifts-from-your-child#post-1094345 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:15:49 +0000 travelgirl1 1094345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha I just had 3 fillings done actually... I blame crazy morning sickness for that, I couldn't get a toothbrush near my mouth without vomming and flossing was just a joke.</p> <p>Weakened hips for me too and my hair used to be so glossy but dried out during pregnancy thanks to a wacky (pregnancy related) thyroid.</p> <p>But on the plus side, pregnancy - and breastfeeding - is good for our health too, reducing the risk of some cancers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-gifts-from-your-child#post-1094338 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:12:01 +0000 Pink Champagne 1094338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: my dentist actually told me that nursing zaps your calcium, so she gave me prescription toothpaste and I take a calcium supplement every day. Crazy things having a baby does to you!</p> <p>So far, I'm pretty sure my child is the reason my hips are so creaky. If I lay on the couch longer than 15 minutes I'm stiffer than an old person when I get up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-gifts-from-your-child#post-1094284 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:57:59 +0000 aprk 1094284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Twisted pelvis and popped rib :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-gifts-from-your-child#post-1094199 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:26:57 +0000 mamimami 1094199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Dude, it's true. I would like to go back in time and take the calcium supplement. every. day. like clockwork. Not sure it would have made a difference but many a day (or week? month?) passed where I didn't take my pills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-gifts-from-your-child#post-1094192 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:20:34 +0000 looch 1094192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, my mom told me that as well, so I have been extra diligent about my teeth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-gifts-from-your-child#post-1094190 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:20:22 +0000 blackbird 1094190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm starting physical therapy next week for a twisted pelvis, care of my pregnancy with E. I've already spent lots of money at the chiropractor because of it, too! BOO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/health-gifts-from-your-child#post-1094182 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:18:00 +0000 mamimami 1094182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard an old wives' tale that you lose a tooth for each child you have, and I'm starting to believe it! Both of my kids have left me with some lasting reminders of their arrival... in the form of my health. I've had friends say the same! From my son, thyroiditis, and from my daughter, well, I'm about to get a SECOND root canal.</p> <p>Anyway, they're worth it :D</p> <p>What health "gift" did you get from your little one(s)? </p>
