hi all
there has been a study done in a WA hospital - not sure which one, where they have found that there is a link between dental work being done in the later part of your pg, and pre-term labour. Can't remember all the details but the story appeared on the Sunday program about 12 months ago on channel 9. I had heard this information before, but the story just confirmed it.

It caught my eye as I actually went to the dentist when I was pg at 30 weeks and went into labour the next day. If I had know that there is a link - i wouldn't have gone, but as it turned on- going into pre-term labour saved one of my twins life.

Hope this helps. If you want more info, it might be worth checking out the websites of the major hospitals in WA, or even googling a search to see what comes up.

take care
