pregnancy and sore gums

[faithanduriah]

So I have read about pregnancy gingivitis but I made it all the way up until the last week before my gums started swelling and getting sore spots. I mean, they have bled alot when I brushed but I guessed that it was because of my new hard tooth brush I accidentally bought. I brush my teeth every day, and my gums too! I don't know how or why it came at the end. I have started flossing and swishing the past two days as well, and its starting to help but ouch! It hurts to eat :( anybody else get this, this late in the game??

Mine has eased up a little since I've been flossing daily and swishing but it is still sensitive and annoying and makes me feel like I'm not taking care of my teeth but I know I am!!:0

Mine comes and goes. Usually lasts about a week.

I just started getting it yesterday at 35 weeks. So painful and I dont know wat to do. I was up most of the night painting my living room and bathroom to try and take my mind off the pain.

I'm 40 weeks btw, thats why I'm so appalled that I had no problems up until this point :(
