I'm braced and due to give birth Aug 26th. I have to say the one thing I absolutely hate about having braces and being pregnant is when they make me lie back in that chair which is such torture when you are as far along as I am. Basically, I can't breath and I get all sweaty and it just sucks. But I make it a point to remind them that the baby is laying on my breathing apparatus and they better prop me up unless they want me to pass out. I am getting my braces removed in 3 weeks and that is one of the main things I do not look forward too--lying flat on my back in a chair and being 38 weeks along. Ugh.
Oh the joys of pregnancy. Congratulations and I hope everything goes well for you!
