Swollen Gums
Did anyone experience this? It is just on one side and it is killing me! If you had it what did you do to ease the swelling? I am looking forward to going to the dentist!
TIA

Re: Swollen Gums
DH tells me all of the time, "Why are your gums so big?" 
They randomly bleed, esp while sleeping. Forget biting into fruit, I see blood on my apples after I bite into them.. Very embarrassing when it happens at work.

Re: Swollen Gums
Yes! It is like I am scared to eat anything hard...in a way it is not a bad thing bc it is keeping me away from a lot of bad stuff. But it is killing me!

Re: Swollen Gums
I had that! It went away shortly after giving birth though.

Re: Swollen Gums
It happens because of the increased blood volume and blood flow in your body

Re: Swollen Gums
I read in one of my pregnancy books that this is just another lovely symptom of pregnancy. I guess it has something to do with the hormones and extra blood flow. Good luck and feel better.

Re: Swollen Gums
What calmed down the swelling and bleeding for me was to increase my calcium intake. The pain and swelling went away within a couple of days.
