Motherhood is a very challenging time of life. It is a time of intense emotional and spiritual activity and a lot of hormonal changes, which can cause an emotional rollercoaster ride. Both being pregnant and having a small child entails a lot of stress, and this has physical symptoms as well. Besides weight gain or loss, bone aches, pain in legs, feet, hips and back, stretch marks and a compromised immune system, giving life to another human being also causes dental troubles, a few of which I would like to catalogue here.
