Bleeding gums?

j&lo82907 · November 2009

I read on quite a few posts on 2ww.com that a lot of women had bleeding gums during their first 2 weeks of pregnancy, some even as early as 5-6 dpo. They say it is due to the extreme amount of blood flow that occurs when you first conceive...

Did any of you ladies have this symptom very very early on? and if so how extreme was it? When did it start and stop?

I've noticed a bit of bleeding with brushing, but nothing crazy.

I noticed it later on, like around 5-6 weeks.

Mine started to bleed a lot right around 12 weeks or so. Still going on, mostly when I floss. My dentist said that it's normal and my gums should go back to normal after delivery. He said it was a combination of blood flow and hormones. HTH

This was how I found out I was prego. I went to the dentist my gums were hurting and bleeding and I was only a day late so I didn't really think about it. The dentist said better go get a test, and here iam.

See because the reason I asked all this is because for some reason my gums have been bleeding horribly everytime I brush my teeth, at first I thought nothing of it, but I heard it was a PG sign so I figured I would ask. But I am only 10 dpo, so I don't know if it could mean anything or not.
