I have a space between my two front teeth. It used to be massive. I was called bucky beaver as a child.
In my teens, I had a boyfriend tell me I really needed to get it fixed.
He was a jerk. Didn't let me wear bikinis either, but that's another story.
My space wasn't Sookie style (aka Anna Paquin), but it was big.
And yes was. WAS. It's nearly gone now and nothing has changed...except that I am pregnant.
Everything is swelling -- my wedding rings don't fit anymore, I'm even outgrowing (out-swelling) some of my shoes. Could it be my gums are swelling, somehow pushing my teeth together?
My friend Elizabeth told me this also happened to her sister.
My parents spent thousands on orthodontics...and it barely worked. OK -- it worked, but there was so much to correct so I'm lucky I ended up with an overbite and a small space.
I came to love my teeth. As big as they are and all.
It's strange to see the space disappearing.
But I can't see my vagina or my feet anymore, so I guess it's comes with my, um, condition.
