AnswerBank Answer:
I'm pregnant and my gums are bleeding more then usual, what's wrong?
If your gums are bleeding, swelling and appear red after brushing, then you most likely have what is called "Pregnancy Gingivitis". Higher hormone levels create bacteria which causes gingivitis. Proper brushing and flossing helps avoid this situation. Because the body's immune system has changed, the body's reaction to the bacteria may be a factor during pregnancy. More attention to brushing and flossing is required to get rid of the bacteria.
