Hi all

Hoping someone can stop me stressing. I have developed a really swollen gum between two teeth on the right hand side of my mouth. It’s quite a bulbous swelling either side of 2 teeth and constantly bleeds and is quite red. It’s almost quite moveable like it’s excess skin? I feel pressure on/in it after I’ve eaten so I have to floss but then it bleeds even more and never heals or goes down, it’s just a constant cycle.
I have tight teeth so I always floss almost daily, it seems in the last 4 weeks (I’m almost 31 weeks pregnant) it’s gone even worse.
I googled and I read they’re called pregnancy tumours and are common. Anyone else had anything similar Sad?

Swollen gums is very common in pregnancy! Along with bleeding.
Googling is the worst don’t do it!
Go to dentist for a checkSmile
