I found out that I have a massive cavity that just didn't hurt me until I was 10 weeks pregnant. And there's nothing they can do for it :( I'm only 15 weeks, I have to wait until after I have the baby to have any work done.

I have litteraly suffered though my whole pregnancy! Nothing you can do really is brush each time you get pressure to get all the blood out (the relief after is amazing)  and for bad pain i used orajel even though i want supposed to but i just couldnt cope, it really is awful

The same things is happening to me and I was told that it happens because of our hormones and the best thing to do would be to massage your gums at least 3times a day or more with a soft toothbrush and rinse everyday with non alcoholic mouth wash. When you massage make sure your just gently moving the tooth brush in Lil circles where its inflamed and bleeding will be normal at first until your gums get used to it after about a week of doing so
