Gums problem????
It probably will. Mine bled til about the same time, and have started doing it again now (week 37.5!). I don't think it means you'll lose a tooth, just that they are more sensitive and you have more blood in your gums. It doesn't make your teeth any looser. My OB told me to use sensodyne with extra fluoride, and a softer brush.
Reply:It is very possible that it could happen again. A pregnancy is basically a "normal abnormalty", and it drives your body crazy...as I'm sure you're very familiar with. Your gum problem may return, or not.....it is impossible for that to predict. I wish you the best of luck.
Reply:I had gingivitis, too, way back during pregnancy. It is very common.


I found that rinsing my mouth with a saline solution was helpful. It will clear up, as you found with your first baby, and tooth loss is more likely to occur from poor dental hygiene than gum bleeding during pregnancy.


Consult your dentist who may have a modern solution.
Reply:In What To Expect When You're Expecting they list bleeding gums as a typical ailment when pregnant, same as sore breasts or frequent urination. Not horribly bad, but it still adds to the already uncomfortable nature of pregnancy.
Reply:its called gingivitis i had it too when i was preg with my 5th child but never had it with any of my others use Listerine or a mouth wash its quite common in pregnancy
Reply:oral health is very very very important during pregnancy. it is extremely important to see a dentist while you are pregnant. unfortunately some women do have a lot of bleeding for seemingly no reason but it is usually just the hormones.
