Mom to almost-18 Michelle Duggar is going to be one toothless old biddy, if this new study holds any water: according to the data, women who give birth to more children lose more teeth, regardless of socioeconomic status, reports Reuters. Even "in the highest socioeconomic group, women with no children were missing on average less than one tooth, those with one child were missing about two teeth and those with four or more were missing about five teeth." In the lowest social strata, women with four or more children were missing more than eight teeth, on average. Women are more prone to gingivitis during pregnancy, and when knocked up are less likely to go to the dentist, according to experts, who say gestating women want to avoid dental X-rays.

Mom-To-17 Michelle Duggar Set To Birth Another Damn Baby

This morning on the Today show, Michelle Duggar, who has given birth to seventeen children, announced that she is pregnant. Again. One of her older sons practically gagged as he responded to the news, and her husband, Jim Bob, said the pregnancy was not planned: "We let the Lord decide," he explained. Oh, God. Anyway: The kids proceeded to shower Michelle with gifts; one daughter said, "My mom mentioned a while back that she really would like a pearl necklace." (Hey kid, maybe she didn't mean jewelry? Maybe it was a quiet plea to get the hubs to try spilling his seed somewhere not near her uterus?) When the same daughter explained that she bought an outfit as a gift because "My mom is usually pregnant," no one could contain their laughter. Clip above. (Oh, and the new baby's name will begin with a J, clearly. Any suggestions? Jennifer, Joshua, John David, Janna, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, and Johannah are already taken.)
