bleeding gums

[keaij]

I just brushed my teeth and the blood was a little more than what Ive had since being pregnant. Anyone going through bleeding gums ?

Same here, it looked like I got punched in the mouth is every time I brushed/flossed. Its called pregnancy gingivitis. Has nothing to do with bad teeth. Just increase blood flow. I'm 17wks tomorrow and mine lessened up about 2 weeks ago. I had a wisdom tooth pulled about a 2 weeks ago, talk about bleeding mouth. YUCK!  I occasionally get nose bleeds as well but nas as bad as previous weeks. Keep your mouth healthy :)

Yes! I got my teeth cleaned and they bleed for hours. It's totally normal according to the dentist to bleed when brushing or getting a cleaning. as long as it isn't excessive everyday, you should be fine.

My nose bleeds fairly frequently, and my gums are more sensitive than they used to be. I might not be getting enough calcium.

Yes it's normal calcium may help but it is also do to an increase in blood flow some women even get bloody noses.

I get bleeding guys it's bad everytime I brush my teeth they gush but I have perfectly healthy teeth and gums. It's just one of those symptoms you didn't know existed till you got pregnant.
