Tooth ache, bleed, and more sensitive. Leftover food or plaque that contains bacteria, is the main factor of inflammation of the gums or gingivitis. In pregnancy, inflammation exacerbated by the increase in the hormone progesterone and estrogen.

Gums swollen, bloody and more sensitive. During pregnancy an increase in hormones that cause the release of histamine and proteolytic enzymes (enzymes destroyer of protein), resulting in increased inflammatory response in the gums. Pregnancy affects the severity of the inflamed area, resulting in enlargement of the gums, increased pocket depth (regardless gums from the teeth), and teeth shake. The severity of inflammation of the gums, usually occurs early in the second or third, and reached a peak between the second and third trimesters. Usually, after two months of giving birth, it decreased the severity of the condition of the gums and after a year back same as before pregnancy. However, the gum will not be normal if the plaque is still there.

Overcome: Perform a thorough cleaning of the plaque, and visit the dentist for a thorough cleaning. The best treatments performed in the second trimester of gestation.

The gums become swollen and his face swollen like mumps. The presence of clinical symptoms of inflammation of the gums with swollen gums, can cause lymphadenopaty, ie swelling of the lymph nodes. Needs to be seen again, whether the swelling of the gums happens because the presence of tartar, tooth root, or the presence of cavities. Overcome: To overcome the swelling, may be given antibiotics that are safe during pregnancy, among others from the class of penicillin. Visit your dentist for a thorough examination.

Teeth on suddenly. Caused by a hole or because of rocking? And, if the date part, broken at the neck of the tooth, or entirely? Worth exploring family history, if anyone has experienced similar incidents.

Overcome: We recommend a thorough examination, a clinical and radiographic examination, so that proper diagnosis can be established to perform proper maintenance. However, because you’re pregnant, in the form of X-ray radiographic examination should be delayed until delivery, because it can harm the fetus.

Jaw seemed to shift, difficult to open your mouth and open your mouth when you hear a ‘click, and sometimes accompanied by dizziness. The possibility is interference with the temporize mandibular joint (jaw joint that serves moving down), or TMJ, which can be caused by acute trauma or chronic trauma. Acute trauma such as a collision on the jaw area. Whereas chronic trauma due to habits such as chewing is not good as bruxism (teeth ) and clenching (teeth clamped tightly). TMJ is part of the masticatory system together with the muscles of mastication, the teeth, condition, and blood vessels that support the system.

Overcome: One way to overcome TMJ disorder is a muscle relaxant medication (a drug that makes the muscles of the jaw to be flexible). However, to formulate a diagnosis and proper treatment, necessary clinical examination, radiographic and tracing a history of dental patients. Since being pregnant, in the form of X-ray radiographic examination should not be done because it could harm a fetus. For the current treatments, do cool compresses (ice packs) 10 minutes on the affected side of the face, then do stretches and exercises the jaw, followed by compress again 5 minutes. Do it three times a day, accompanied by the provision of soft foods to prevent jaw opening too wide. Apples are a natural toothbrush, because it can reduce the formation of bacteria that cause cavities and increase saliva production.

In the second month, the length of the fetus of about 1.25 to 2.5 cm with hollow eyes that began to form, but still closed. Although the skull has not been formed, the process of formation of the brain has already begun. Embryo brain in the form of two protrusions that grow on the head contains the cells that will form the two hemispheres of the brain (cerebrum). Her hands and legs also began to take shape although not perfect. Occasionally the fetus moves, but the mother can not feel it. Growing group of cells will also be a tooth. Genital organs were beginning to form and move towards the place, it determines it would be a boy or a girl.

Pregnancy hormones will make a pregnant woman to urinate and sweat. Blood volume also increased to supply oxygen and food for fetal growth process. Needs an increased blood supply makes the heart work harder pregnant women. The enlarged uterus makes the lungs depressed, sometimes causing shortness of breath and tired. Hormonal changes will make a pregnant woman’s body often experience morning sickness, hair and skin more oily or dry. In addition, pregnant women often experience swelling of the gums, forming tartar or gum bleeding. The mechanism that slows down digestion making pregnant women also experience constipation.

Psychological condition of mothers

Mood swings, anxiety about pregnancy and birthing process can create stress to pregnant women have trouble sleeping.

It can not be denied there is any situation and then make your way out the house with a giddy. That one’s not you, not the situation or your job. The key is proper management and the opportunity to always do self-reflection and evaluation.

Stressful situations. The following typical situation, usually will make almost all working mothers hesitate to go to work, plus tucked guilt:

Sick child. Where mothers are not “ripped” his heart to hear your baby suddenly ill?! Faced with this situation, first you have to do is stay calm. Ask the caregiver or the Mbak measure body temperature or reporting the state child every 10-15 minutes or so after being given first aid. In the same time you can ask for permission to superiors, to come home early or do not work on that day. Do not forget to also coordinate with colleagues. The goal is that you can treat your child in peace.

Houses without a maid. This usually happens before and after the holiday. You do not need to be confused face them alone, try to cooperate with a partner. Could the little dititip while the grandparents home? Or if you have relatives who live nearby, can you ask for his help to keep the temporary. Better yet, if you and your husband can keep and leave for a moment. Or, at least keep the baby and take care of the house in turn.

Special events. Husband suddenly sick, cranky child, child’s birthday party or anniversary and other. Often working mother feels powerless. Still wanted to handle everything, but what power you have to attend an important meeting. It feels so jealous to see the other fellow’s mother could total at home and not to be confused face a situation like this.

Once again because of home affairs and children not only your own business, involve your partner is always in solving various problems in the home. Always discuss with partners the duties and roles of each. Including, business plan or schedule tasks in the office.

If you are facing one of those days, for example husband suddenly ill, or a fussy child out of control and need a hug you, consider: is it possible you one day working at home by bringing work home? If not, think about the networks around you. For example, the closest relatives, especially grandparents. Nothing wrong with you also discuss with colleagues and superiors, who know their input could be an additional solution.

Paul McCartney – She’s given up talking (driving rain 2001)

A cursory listen to the song, poem about the world of children, we would not have thought that Paul McCartney is being voiced discomfort of a child. She’s given up talking, not the usual song. For many parents in the world, the song representing their needs to get advocates to condition baby who suffered from Selective Mutism (SM). Try googling the phrase you just selective mutism the search engine will display the thousands of blogs that use a snippet of the song as the opening wording. Preface to indicate that blogs are dedicated by the owner, usually the elderly, for children who suffer from SM.

Certain social situations. Selective mutism (SM) is a growth disorder in childhood because of excessive anxiety attacks. Children who suffer from this disorder can not speak in certain social situations, like when in school, public places that makes him uncomfortable because a lot of people, or when in an environment that more adults than children his age. Conversely when in a comfortable environment as familiar, such as at home, while playing with my sister or parent, she can speak fluently, even sometimes very active.

Basically the SM is different from the attitude of embarrassment or barriers of social interaction when children meet new people, or join a new social environment. At this time, it is natural that children become more withdrawn and reclusive because he is in the process of adaptation. But if the child was still silent and withdrawn after 3 months in the same social environment, but the ‘chirp’ at home without stopping, it’s time to alert parents.

The condition of the new SM will be detected after the child is able to speak. According to experts from the American Pediatric Association (APA) at the annual congress in 2000, SM is generally only realized when a child is 3 years old. At this age, children should have advanced to speak, so it looks comparisons verbal ability, while children are in various situations and conditions.

Often parents excuse the ‘sudden silence’ son as excessively shy attitude he developed since childhood. This property is considered to be, so when children have to meet new friends or are in the new environment. Generally clearly visible when the child begins to merge onto the playground, when the child’s social ability to interact and talk to other people became one of the expected development milestones.
