need to vent...

This is my 2nd pregnancy and I am only 7 weeks along and my gums are already "inflamed" ! I don't have bad teeth out gums or anything, I go to the dentist regularly. I had the same thing happen last time I was preggo! It gets so bad that at time I am just sitting there and I taste a little blood from it! The only thing I find that helps is ice cream and I can't sit around eating that all day! Tylenol helps too but I only take it when I can't stand it any longer.... does anyone else get this preggo???

Its  called pregnancy gingivitis. Its due to the hormones. Just be sure you floss everyday. Thats the most important thing along with brushing, but brushing alone will not help.
