My gums have been really tender and bleed a little when i brush since the last week. periods not due for few more days but im wondering if this could be an early sign. did anyone have this?
Haan na, gums become sensitive in pregnancy, mine used to bleed thoda while brushing. Use a soft brush and rinse with warm salt water. But take a test to actually confirm, gums alone dont mean pregnant.
Actually yes, my gums got so sore and even bled a little brushing in early pregnancy, i felt so confused at first. Doc said its the hormones, totally normal. Cleared up after i delivered.
My dentist told me pregnancy hormones make gums swell and bleed more, they even call it pregnancy gingivitis. Soft brush and gentle cleaning helps. But sore gums alone isnt a confirm sign, a test is the only sure way.
Sore puffy gums can happen in pregnancy but its not a reliable sign by itself, lots of things cause it. If you missed your period just take a home test, thats the real answer.
