bad gums thro pregnancy?

[swhite26]

i know u get swollen gums during pregnancy , but i have something known as a pregnancy tumor, igts a large growth around my teeth not painful just uncomfy, been given anti bios and antiseptic , been referred to hospital but before i can get appointment got get another referal sent n then book one , not much point with just over 5 weeks left,...just wondering if anyone else has had it or heard of it, n how longafter baby born did it take to go down?

its only something like 10% of women get it, trust me hey! i have been dentist a few times get it checked make sure nothing major , he hasn seen it alot n got a diff one who said its most likely preg related since it came from about 26 weeks+, just hope goes down quite quick dnt wanna get it cut :(

The only thing i have experience with my gums while pregnant is frequent bleeding out of nowhere and alot of tooth aches,i was told this is normal but the insurance also told me to check it up with my doc & dentist to make sure.its nothing severe.

I've never heard of it but now I'm very curious. I will definitely be asking my dental hygiene friends when I see them next unless u get info on here before.
