Swollen Gums

[StacyAl]

Anyone else have them? I taste blood throughout the day, I just woke up and already taste it. I know it's like a "pregnancy gingivitis" but I didn't remember it came this early. :/

My gums bled a little with my first but this pregnancy my gums are bleeding bad they bleed through the night as well

[StacyAl]

Haha yeah! I'm glad I'm not alone. :)

I have the same thing I constantly feel gross like I don't brush and I taste bloof and when I do brush I dread doing so because there's always so much blood I look like a character out of a horror movie or something lol

At least you guys have it. I stress over medicaid in case something happens. I feel safe with medicaid, I'm almost half way done with my pregnancy and don't have anything. Neither does my daughter.

no dentist near me accepts medicaid but cleanings are not that expensive. I've found places that only charge 29$. Idk.how it is where you live

Medicaid only covers 40%. I guess that helps but it's still gonna be a lot for me

[StacyAl]

The county pokes it here. I've lived here for almost three months, and still haven't gotten medicaid. It's so annoying. I'm about to call and raise hell. We can't afford a dentist right now. But I remember my dentist said to gargle warm salt water for like three minutes after brushing or something. I guess I'll do that in the meantime :/

It's no fun :( I went in and saw my dentist around 20 weeks and they cleaned them really well, they hurt worse for a couple days but they've been great ever since

Im 6wks tomorrow and my gums are so sore! Pre preg they used to bleed when brushing but.now just do it randomly. Dentists are so expensive here so cant go see one so just trying online home remedies lol

I'll be glad when it's gone lol I was getting worried. I've been waiting til after I deliver and before my Medicaid expires to go

[StacyAl]

I did after I had my daughter, that's where they told me it was a "pregnancy gingivitis" every or most women get it. Our gums just swell along with everything else. It's just a pregnancy thing, you know?

[babydue07182013]

Oh man. Have you seen a dentist?

[StacyAl]

Yeah, same here. It makes me feel dirty like I don't brush my teeth. Lol. Then there are those awkward times where I'll be talking to my husband and he'll be like your bleeding. :(

My gums bleed when I brush my teeth and sometimes I wake up with bleeding gums :/ it *****
