I think that one of these bad-a$$ teeth is starting to come out in my mouth too. I don't have any experiences with them, I just hope that I won't to have a surgical intervention, because some of my classmates had their wisdom teeth operated and it wasn't a pleasant procedure. Stay strong, it will end later or earlier!

I'm also pregnant with my wisdom teeth coming in and it's HORRIBLE! But my dentist told me that there is a window of time that they can remove the wisdom teeth without having anything happen to the baby, and I can also get really low dose pain medication for the healing afterward. I'd suggest just calling your dentist to see what you can have done about it, and at the very least once you have the baby get those teeth out!

I'm going through the same thing and one thing I've found that helps to ease the pressure is to floss between the four or five teeth in front of where the wisdom tooth is coming in. That new tooth is pushing against the others to make room for itself so flossing helps to separate the others again back to where they are supposed to be. Although my teeth are fairly tight together so the floss fits pretty tightly in the space. *shrug* might help.

I've had that pain before - so I can definitely relate! It didn't last for too long though, luckily. It bothered me most as it was pushing its way through, which only lasted for a few days, and then I was ok again. I think you've made a good choice with the orajel and tylenol. I didn't take any meds though when I had the pain, so I don't even know what else to suggest! Hopefully the pain goes away soon, like mine did!
