I have one day I forget they are there and other days its all I can think about. Like today, they are driving me nuts...could be the pokey wire and wondering what a closing loop will feel like that I am getting on Tuesday, and wondering what will happen when my Ortho goes on Maternity leave. She is due in mid June. (Anyone experience this???) also, wondering what types of retainers I will be getting....gee wonder why i cant forget about them right now!!!!!
If your ortho is a workaholic like my OB was when I was pregnant with my daughter you won't see much of a difference, LOL. Honestly though a regular maternity leave is usually 6 weeks so you may not even miss an appointment with her.
