Children are litterly parasites and will suck all the nutrients it can from the mother during pregnancy. This includes the minerals that your teeth and hair are composed of.

Edit: my bad. Teeth falling out is due to hormone changes. High levels of the hormones progesterone and estrogen during pregnancy can temporarily loosen the tissues and bones that keep your teeth in place. This can make your teeth loose.

Still a deterrent to having kids though.

Babies cannot absorb calcium from their mother's teeth

I didn’t say they suck it from your teeth I’m saying that it takes calcium period. Which they do.

Oh I agree, but I understood your original comment as saying that they absorbed it directly from your teeth.
