Cracked a filling yesterday, went to the emergency dental clinic to try and have it repaired before the holiday. I tried not to mention angrily that the dental clinic in the same practice had put in this filling less than a year ago and that a bagel truly had been its undoing.

Anyway, as the dentist reviewed my chart she asked me about any medications and I told her and then she paused and said...."uh, birth control?" I didn't answer right away because I wasn't rally sure if she was serious or not. "Um....no, I am pregnant...very pregnant,"

"Oh, oh, I didn't even notice!"

Ok, really? I am almost 39 weeks pregnant meaning I am almost as big as I'm gonna get. Did this woman really not notice the enormous beach ball protruding from my mid-section? I guess I should be flattered, but somehow it's not confidence inspiring when a medical professional is so completely unobservant that a 9 month pregnancy doesn't jump out at 'cha.
