Gum Problems in Pregnancy?

Has anyone had these issues? I am having some major issues with a part of my gums....Its very red (although my teeth dont hurt at all) and there is a bump there...it doesnt hurt, but its sensitive. Has anyone had these issues with gums and pregnancy? Thanks!!!! Any info would be great. Im going to a dentist this week and Im hoping its nothing serious. :nea:

 

Mine bled alot while I was pregnant with the twins. They were really swollen and sensitive. I actually had a lot of gum loss during my pregnancy (mine were already pretty bad due to overbrushing). I had gum surgery to replace the receded areas and I haven't had any problems since. I think it's really normal to have sensitive gums during pregnancy though.

 

I've had a lot of gum issues during my pregnancy. I was surprised to find out I actually have Pregnancy Gingivitis... but my dentist said it was fairly common and would go away after pregnancy.

Like pp said it's pretty normal so I wouldn't worry too much.

 

My friend did she found she had to bite on things really hard just stop it annoying her. She ended up biting on her husbands fingers because that was the only thing that relieved them lol! x

 

Definitely common in pregnancy! Make sure you floss every day, even though it might hurt and bleed.
My gums got so swollen when pg with my son I ended up needed 2 appointments to clean my teeth after he was born. It took 4 months for the swelling to go down after I delivered him.
Definitely try to get your teeth cleaned during your 2nd trimester (I didn't see your ticker to know how far along you are) - you are supposed to be the most comfortable during that time. They can also give you a special mouth wash (doesn't burn or hurt at all) that you can use to help keep permanent damage to a minimum during this time. I am using it now (although not like I should!).
