question re: bleeding gums

I woke up this morning with bleeding gums - i got up and went to pee and felt like i needed to spit in the sink (sorry gross) so I did and it was all bloody grossness. I then saw that my gums wre bleeding on the top. Obviously this was not right after I brushed or flossed, which according to almighty google, is fairly common. Anyone experience this without brushing or flossing? Are my teeth going to fall out?

Thanks!

Re: question re: bleeding gums

My gums bled the entire pregnancy with DS and now that was one of the inicators that I should test this time...my gums were belleding for no reason. It is definitely a side effect. A gross one at that. Make sure to contine to go for your dentist appointments because oral health is very important while pregnant.

Re: question re: bleeding gums

My gums bleed everyday when I brush my teeth. They never bleed spontaneously, but anything is possible when it comes to pregnancy symptoms. I am sure it is completely normal.

Re: question re: bleeding gums

I read in one of my baby books that bleeding gums is normal. I would ask your dr next time you see him. If they bleed all the time I would call him and ask.
