...and now a bleeding mouth... Have been struggling with this since I got pregnant. Am 30 weeks now and the roof of my mouth just exploded with blood after I bit into something a bit hard. Any suggestion on how to make this nice pregnancy side effect stop or at least get better? Am desperate. Been to dentist and hygenist and have to be honest think the hygenist made it worse by completely going for it when cleaning my teeth !! :O(

I've suffered with this terribly one of my back teeth got really lose and my teeth moved out of alignment. I had the scrape thing done last time and didn't find it helped. But I sorted it out myself this time I took a toothbrush and rubbed really hard when I brushed my teeth over the cut areas (agony) and within a week it cleared up. Don't know about the roof problem though.

Thanks Slushy06. I can not wait to have this baby so that I can just get some form of drug in me which is such a wrong feeling to have!! My hegynist gave me this mouthwash with has stained my teeth yellow ( nice!) I feel like I have bad breath all the time from the dried up blood. it really is gross!

I warn you mind brushing the sore gums hurts alot I had to take paracetamol to do it. I agree would be happy to have baby tomorrow I don't tend to mind labor either as I know ill get my body back soon.
