Swollen Gums

Hi ladies...i am 24weeks1day...and i have been experiencing super swollen gums and bleeding! It is ridiculously annoying and I dnt know what to do. My insurance isnt effective until Sep.1st so i cant go to the dentist yet. I've been brushing and flossing and mouthwash 2 times a day everyday and it still doesnt help. I was wondering of anybody else is experiencing this and if there are any other remedies to use until I can go to the dentist?

Get a soft bristle toothbrush. It helps.

Normal! And the dentist cant help with this. Its bc your vessels are so open to allow all the extra progesterone through and your veins happen to be closer to the surface that theyre breaking open and bleeding.

Suckiest pregnancy symptom ive ever had!
