Oh god, my gums bleed every single time I brush now, it's like a horror movie in my sink! Apparently hormones make everything swollen and sensitive, even our mouth. Just waiting for this third trimester to end so my teeth can breathe again!
Yes, it happens to many of us due to hormonal changes, but please don't ignore it. When I was pregnant, I was so scared of any kind of bleeding that I asked my doctor immediately. Just to be safe, mention it to your gynac in your next visit so they can check.
Actually it's called pregnancy gingivitis. My doctor explained that increased blood flow and progesterone hormones make gums very sensitive to plaque. She told me to use a soft toothbrush, salt water rinses, and visit a dentist if it bleeds too much.
Yaar, actually this is super common! Mere saath bhi yahi hua tha, brush karte hi bleeding shuru. I changed to a soft bristles brush and did warm salt water gargles. Gynac said it's just pregnancy hormones playing games, so don't worry too much.
Ugh, yes! Pregnancy gums bleed, then baby comes and you don't even have time to brush, so double trouble. Honestly, it is very common because of hormones. Just use a baby-soft toothbrush for now and hang in there!
Haan beta, ye bilkul hota hai pregnancy mein. Hamare yahan kehte hain ki body mein garmi badh jaati hai. Apne daant halka sa saaf karo aur dahi wagera khao, thoda thandak milegi aur doctor ko bhi dikha lena ek baar.
