possibly unrelated??

But the last week or two every time I brush my teeth my gums bleed really bad. They don't hurt and aren't sore.. they just bleed! Im a FTM and 11 weeks tomorrow. Could this be related to the pregnancy? Has anyone else experienced this?

I take my vitamins and my gums bleed EEEEVVVEEERRYY time I brush my teeth. I went to my dentist and he said its normal cause im pregnant. I wouldn't worry girl lol

It's related to pregnancy -- my doctor told me to expect it due to increased blood volume. Just be sure to brush and floss regularly

It Does Mine Do It To And My Dentist Said It's The Hormones And That No Matter How Many Times A Say You Brush They Will Keep Bleeding :(

Thanks for the input! I couldn't find anything online. So I appreciate it :)

And there is no way to cure it just one of those things you have to tolerate

Pregnancy makes your gums swell which means your tooth brush rubs more of your gum tissue that is not used to being rubbed causing them to bleed and actually i got cavities at the gum line on my molars last pregnancy due to my gums swelling over my tooth.

I always take my vitamins and I don't have any deficiency (while pregnant, because of the vitamins. Beforehand I was slightly iron deficient) anyways. Anyone know of anyway to cure it? I don't have the money for the dentist right now, and I don't think my insurance covers it.

Yes, it could be related to pregnancy... :)

Your irin could be a little low, just make sure you take your prenatals and that they have iron
