Since last week jab bhi I brush my gums bleed thoda and they feel swollen. Im in second trimester. Is this a normal pregnancy thing or should I worry? anyone else faced this?
Since I had thyroid issues, I was already visiting my doc regularly and mentioned my bleeding gums. She told me hormones affect the gums a lot during pregnancy. Please mention it to your gynac during your regular checkup to stay safe.
Mere saath bhi yehi hua tha, especially in the morning when I was rushing for office. I didn't have time for long treatments so I just switched to a sensitive toothpaste and did warm salt water rinses. It is very common but if it bleeds heavily, do check with your doctor during your routine visit.
This is very common, dear, so don't worry. Hormones make our gums very sensitive right now. Try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water twice a day, it really helps soothe the pain.
I noticed blood every time I spat after brushing in my second trimester. Honestly, I didn't take any medicines, just changed my brush to an ultra-soft one and it stopped on its own after delivery. This was just my experience though.
Yes, they absolutely do and it is called pregnancy gingivitis. It's totally due to the hormonal rush in our body. Just use a soft toothbrush and go for a dental cleanup if it gets too much.
