Oh yes! It's making me crazy! Whenever I'm brushing my teeth there's blood, it got me scared! What should we do?

Theres nothing really that you can do but make sure that you've went to the dentist since your been pregnant. It's caused my all of the increased blood flow.

Hi girls. I have the same problem as well. I told my doctor about this yesterday and he said that it usually happens in pregnant women who lack Vitamin C. He suggested that I take some and that I brush and use mouthwash at least twice a day. He also said that visiting the dentist for this is not necessary. Also, make sure you're taking calcium, such as Citracal, along with your prenatal vitamins.

That's a good idea, since most pregnant women get pregnancy gingivitis,and there's nothin that u can really do about it, but the dentist can give u a thourough cleaning and that should help out a bunch. Hope it helps out a bit.
