9 months later....

So I've had my braces on for around 9 months now. I've also had a baby in this time. A son, he is three weeks old tomorrow! 

Obviously I don't have a lot of time to write a long post as I usually do. I'm preoccupied with breast feeding someone who is quite impatient! 

Dealing with my braces and being pregnant was no big deal at all. The few things I noticed which I'm not sure if they happen to everyone becaus I only ever had my braces whilst I was pregnant. 
- bleeding gums, at some points it was a lot! 
- inability to take pain medication in the first trimester. 
- not being able to eat certain foods that I really, really wanted to eat! Like taffy, caramels, biting into an apple. 

General braceface stuff. 


One thing I have found that has nothing to do with pregnancy, but everything to do with ceramic braces is the staining. 
I miss eating curry! 
I sometimes still do if I am really close to my next appointment and I know that the little ligatures will be changed asap. They are quite yellow at the moment with no curry! 
I haven't had an apointment in close to six weeks due to having a baby and all. 

Here's a progress pic, as per the norm it's blurry as....
update when I get a chance.
