Wow! A new study that was recently published indicates that women who gave birth to more children tended to lose more teeth during their lives, regardless of whether they were rich or poor.
They examined data on 2,635 U.S. women ages 18 to 64, sorting the nationally representative sample into three categories — low, middle and high socioeconomic status.
In the highest socioeconomic group, women with no children were missing on average less than one tooth, those with one child were missing about two teeth and those with four or more were missing about five teeth.
Among the women in the lowest socioeconomic group, those with no children on average were missing two teeth, those with one child were missing an average of three teeth and those with four or more were missing more than eight teeth.
The trend also held true in the middle socioeconomic group, said the researchers at New York University and Yale University in Connecticut.
“It seems that having more children is related to having fewer teeth,” New York University dental professor Dr. Stefanie Russell, who led the research published in the American Journal of Public Health, said in a telephone interview.
“People might say that happens because women who are poor have more children and women who are poor are not going to be able to afford the dentist,” she said. “But we found that it was true across all socioeconomic levels.”
The study did not break down the results by race.
Well…I have one child and I lost one tooth after I had him - so maybe these researchers are onto something.

In a new interview with Vanity Fair Angelina Jolie speaks frankly about her love of being pregnant, birth, babies, nannies, and more.
Angelina Jolie on being pregnant:
“I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depend-ing on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”

Durga Thangarajahhas been hailed as a “miracle” after she survived a full-term pregnancy outside the womb.
The little fighter was delivered by caesarian at Darwin Private Hospital on Thursday, after spending almost nine months growing inside her mother’s right ovary — stretching the organ’s tissue as thin as paper.
Obstetrician Dr Andrew Miller said the chances of a foetus lodging in an ovary were one in 40,000 but that the chances of such a pregnancy producing a healthy baby were almost nil.

Silver Cross, the company that created the ultra exclusive Balmoral and Kensington Prams, now offers a chic travel option for parents.
The Silver Cross Dazzle is suitable from birth to toddle and it features a single handed smooth recline. It has an easy, compact fold, which makes it the stroller of choice for busy, on-the-go parents.
I personally like the soft, bold fabrics the stroller is offered in. With names like Blueberry, Cosmic Black, Grape, Pumpkin and Silver Grey, it almost makes you want to head to the bakery for some pie.

The babies were conceived in India with fertility treatment. After the procedure the pair returned to England for the birth.
The husband then asked how soon it would be before his wife could try IVF again in the hope of getting a boy to continue the family name.
Female babies are often abandoned in India for being the wrong sex.
The mother — one of Britain’s oldest— discharged herself against the advice of doctors who told her she should stay for more than a week after her operation.
This story shocks me.
Who goes through 40 weeks of pregnancy to abandon their babies minutes after delivery?
I guess someone forgot to tell this couple that you pick your friends not your family!

Traveling is about to get harder for parents.
If you are planning to travel via the US Airways Group, bring your own snacks because the airline announced today that it will eliminate free snacks in coach class on all its domestic flights starting June 1st.
US Airways spokesman Morgan Durrant said the move to cut free snacks was needed to save money in a time of extremely high fuel costs. The price of jet fuel has soared this year with crude oil prices in the $130-per-barrel range.
The good news? Thirsty family members will still be able to have a complimentary soft drinks. Well at least for the next month…
My Tip: Fly Jetblue! Our family prefers the larger seats, great service and personal TV’s.
During our trip to Puerto Rico in February we were offered a multitude of snacks and beverages. The staff didn’t bat an eyelash when I asked for an extra bag of yummy cookies. In fact they came through the cabin twice with snacks and beverages during our flight from JFK to San Juan. LOVE IT!!
