I read somewhere that gum swelling and soreness can start quite early, even in the first trimester. We are also planning, so I am trying to keep my dental hygiene really good from now itself. Maybe you can consult your doctor gently just to be safe.
Honestly, my gums became super sensitive around the second trimester. I just focused on eating soft fruits and washing my mouth after every meal. It totally went away after my baby was born and I started nursing.
Same here, my gums just started bleeding a little this week and I'm in my 14th week. Is it normal to have a metallic taste too? Let's hope our doctors have some easy solution for this.
For me, it started around my 4th month, especially because my sugar levels were also fluctuating. You have to be very careful with what you eat because sweet things can make gum swelling worse. Do check with your gynac once, she might suggest a mild toothpaste.
Haha, pregnancy hormones really spare no part of your body, even your teeth! Mine started behaving like vampires in the second trimester, bleeding at any point. Just keep brushing softly unless you want to scare your hubby!
Oh, don't stress too much about this, it usually starts around the second month or sometime in the second trimester when hormones act up. Just use a soft toothbrush and brush twice. It's super common, so chill, okay?
Oh god, I remember panicking so much when my gums bled slightly in the 5th month! I thought it was some major infection and kept googling all night. Please don't do that, just talk to your doctor and stay hydrated, it’s mostly just hormonal.
My mother-in-law told me to rinse with warm salt water when my gums swelled up in the 5th month. It really helped, but I still mentioned it to my gynac during my checkup. Always good to trust your doctor's word on these things.
Dude, my gums started acting up in the 2nd trimester and honestly, pregnancy makes everything weird. Between sleepless nights and now nursing, dental hygiene was a struggle. Just get a soft brush and deal with it, it passes!
During my second trimester, I had quite a bit of gum swelling. After my C-section, I was worried it would take long to heal, but honestly, once the baby was out, the swelling went down so fast. Just keep things clean and don't worry about recovery.
