i would say 90% sure from the pregnancy...i have 3 boys and my gums and teeth were sensitive with all 3 pregnancies,   i think the dentist told me that being pregnant messes with the way your body absorbs calcium,  or maybe it was vitamin d, but if you ever get charlie horses (cramps) in your calves while pregnant, that is due to the same thing as tooth sensitivity...i used to drink a big tall glass of 1% milk everynight before bed, i had a horrible time with my calves cramping up on me. extremely painful...

There's a great medication called "Kanka". They make it with a brush like applicator. I think it works better than orajel, but that's just me.
It might be both. What type of pills are you chewing?

my teeth got completlely screwed when I was pregnant (on top of the damage from the pills and other drugs). The baby is taking everything from you. Make sure you get a prenatal vitamin that has extra calcium. And take extra good care of your teeth. Major teeth problems can cause problems for the baby and heart problems for yourself. It's something I was really scared of myself.

Oh and it's probably from being pregnant since you're low on iron....

I dunno...but, I got sores on my tongue and sensitive gums when I'd chew a ton of Oxy's. I wouldn't cross the pills out as a cause.
