Hyperemesis can definitely damage or even ruin teeth. I used to work with a woman whose teeth were all capped, and eventually found out that was why. 
It was that or dentures, and she chose capping.
Charlotte Bronte was 4 months pregnant when she died, and many historians believe HG was her cause of death.
My mother lost all her teeth due to her pregnancy with me.
I don’t know the exact reason, but…I’m to blame, however it happened. >_>
Yes, they do. There are also medicated rings worn in the vagina - NuvaRing, used for birth control, and Estring, for hormone replacement.
No birth control, and/or an emphasis on being fruitful and multiplying. Both of those conditions have changed now. Smaller family size these days is not an indication of more birthing damage; in the developed world, a woman with eight children today is likely to enjoy much better pelvic health than a mother of eight children 100 years ago.
My great grandfather had two wives in that way, and his brother had 3. The first wife for each died in child birth and the 2nd of my great uncle from some sort of accident.
Also, no retirement savings and a use for lots of little farmhands.
And more infant and child mortality.
Now I’m wondering about Michelle Duggar’s teeth. :eek:
Or liver failure, or a seizure if you lived long enough to become eclamptic.
HELLP syndrome is nothing to fool around with, and something most people have never heard of.
And its SOME women - some women had a ton of children successfully. Eleanor of Aquitaine. Queen Victoria. Queen Charlotte (the wife of the mad king George). And then you have poor Jane Seymour. Anne Boleyn. Queen Anne - 18 pregnancies and no living children.
My maternal great grandmother had fourteen children -two sets of twins - twelve children lived to adulthood born at home in a farmhouse starting around 1910. My maternal grandmother had five children - but the last ones killed her. Her sister had one, stillborn, and lost her uterus as a result around 1940 and would have died without modern medicine.
I’m A- and my husband has a positive blood type. Years ago we’d have had one healthy child (probably) followed by miscarriage after miscarriage. Well, except we wouldn’t have had that healthy child, I’m also a strep b carrier and she would have likely died without antibiotics. I have a number of girlfriends who had emergency c-sections - one who ended up with a severely disabled child as a result - neither mother or child would have survived without modern medicine. Another girlfriend would have bled out 150 years ago or had she done a home birth.
My MIL says she lost a tooth with each pregnancy.
My dentist told me that it’s common for pregnant women to have gun troubles, and that might be a part of it, too. I forget exactly what the mechanism is supposed to be.
The gum trouble is a function of the hormones. In some women we see it monthly also.
This is kind of funny, considering that puzzlegal actually wrote about gun troubles. I can certainly see how hormones might be a factor there. 
Yes but in 29 years of practice I haven’t noticed tooth erosion due to hyperemesis in women due to pregnancy, only in women with bulimia. FWIIW while having cemo I was vomiting 6-8 times a day for about four months and have no acid erosion issiues on my teeth.
Every women who ever told me she had dental problems due to pregnancy also had very poor oral hygiene.
I made an assumption, maybe I shouldn’t have.
The thing is, pretty much every pregnancy syndrome either means you’re dying or you’re just pregnant. I’d gone to the doctor earlier that week, told them my feet never unswelled, I was starting to get headaches, my blood pressure wasn’t high but it was high FOR ME - I didn’t realize the epigastric pain was unusual - and they told me I was just pregnant. Three days later we went back at 3 AM when the intense pain wouldn’t go away and they said “hmm, guess who gets the first open OR?”
I’m still pissed about that. What if I’d gotten in a car wreck on the way back from the doctor’s office? (I’d have died, is what. My platelets were at something like 60, IIRC? And nobody knew that.)
I hadn’t heard this saying before, but I went through a phase where I was doing family genealogy and found that it was pretty common for my male ancestors to have been married two or three times – presumably because Wife #1 and sometimes #2 had predeceased them.
Naw, you were right. It was just a Swypo.
Interesting. I wonder what the difference is between vomiting from bulimia, and any other reason.
This woman had the worst kind of HG - the type where she was on TPN throughout the whole pregnancy. 
It was severe enough that abortion was seriously considered, to save her life, and the main reason she didn’t go through with it was because all the suffering she had endured would be for naught. Her son, who was born healthy, is now a young adult. He was also her third child, and nothing like that had ever happened with her other pregnancies.
I’ve been seeing Facebook memes saying, “The Three Wise Women would have (among other things) brought practical gifts.” Guess what? Gold, frankincense, and myrrh WERE practical gifts for the time and place. Gold so it could be traded for other necessities, frankincense to make the place smell better, and myrrh to dress the umbilical cord, as well as Mary’s perineal area and probably her nipples too.
The term “caesarean section” didn’t come from Julius Caesar. It came from the Latin word for “cut” (or possibly from the word for “hair”). The confusion about where the word came from comes from a misunderstood passage in Pliny:
