AubreyK80 · Dec 12th, 2008, 09:44 AM

It seems like when i brush my teeth now my Gums start to bleed, I read online its normal during pregnancy, Have any of you had it ??

I only have to touch my gums and mouth fills with blood. It is awful but natural. Don't worry about it and make sure you still brush your teeth properly!

Yes i have this too and its horrid yak, but have been assured its perfectly normal due to increased blood volume or sommit. Just hope me teeth dont fall out haha

I've had this too. I had a dentist appointment the other day, and he told me to carry on brushing as normal. Make sure you don't cut down on the brushing because of the bleeding.

I get this too, yucky isn't it. I've had to be careful brushing my teeth as it brought on sickness and I still kinda associate it with it, but I use a good mouthwash so fingers crossed.

I don't have it as often as some ladies, but do get it. When I went to the dentist the other day for my routine cleaning, the hygenist made a comment that the front of my teeth were not bleeding, it was the back bottom that was the culprit. Perfectly normal though.

Just keep up with routine brushing and routine checkups to prevent gum disease which is common for some pregnant women.

That is exactly what I have read on it

I think at some point in time I have my gums bleed during a pg. Not now however... all sounds fine and normal! but so keep brushing, perhaps with a softer brush, manual...

I have had it a few weeks ago and it seems to have settled down now.
I use mouthwash,floss and brush them with warm water which seems to help a bit.

I hate looking at the brush in case I see blood LOL

It does stop after the birth though.
