Loose teeth?

I am 11 weeks along and have impeccable oral hygiene. I brush 3 times a day and floss at least once, if not twice a day. I have no pain or swelling in my gums, but noticed that my front teeth (basically all but my molars) feel very loose. Has anyone else experienced that? Is this normal?

I actually lost a tooth with my second baby and I'm terrified I'm going to lose another this baby.

Its not common but can happen, inflammation and bleeding gums is very common.  Did you know brushing to much is almost as bad as not brushing as you will brush away your enamel and your gums which may be some of the cause for your loose teeth. I recommend brushing twice a day and flossing is not necessarily needed daily. Also do not scrub heavily anything that can be removed with brushing can be removed with gentle circular motions. See if this helps gums cannot grow back but you may see some improvement :)

I did not have loose teeth but was eating a croissant when I was in my first trimester and the fork hit my bottom front tooth and it chipped off. I was devastated since like you I take a LOT of pride in my teeth. Needless to say I got my tooth fixed and was put on calcium supplements by my doctor. With that said may be you need to increase your calcium intake.
