Normal with prego hormones. I've been prego 3 times, I've always had bleeding gums. And I go to the dentist regularly (I haven't had a cavity in 4 yrs-so my mouth is pretty clean/healthy). The only thing that helps is floss like 2/4 times a day, brush at least 3 times, use a good mouthwash. If you don't you will start to have swollen gums along with more bleeding through the day.
Mine did the same earlier in my pregnancy. My dentist suggested rinsing with grapefruit seed extract, brushing after all food and not using any mouthwash with alcohol. Mine cleared up in 3 days.
