Sensitive Gums/Mouth

Hi Girls,

Last week we found out that we're expecting our first little one in December and we couldn't be more excited! I know that everyone has different symptoms, but I didn't know if anyone on here has had sensitive gums before. I know it can be a symptom so I'm not worried about it from that standpoint, I just figured I'd see if anyone has any suggestions.

No matter what I do it just seems that a certain part is more sensitive right now. I even started doing a warm water rinse with salt. I have my first Dr's appointment on Thursday so I figured I can ask about it then. Open to suggestions if anyone has them! Thanks in advance!
