Some women get swollen and sore gums, which may bleed, in pregnancy. Bleeding gums are caused by a build-up of plaque on the teeth. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can make your gums more vulnerable to plaque, leading to inflammation and bleeding. This is also called pregnancy gingivitis or gum disease. Your dentist will be able to help with this. Dental care is free during pregnancy and until one year after your due date. To get free dental care, you need to apply for a maternity exemption certificate (MatEx). Ask your doctor, nurse or midwife for form FW8.
Itâs fairly normal to get headaches when youâre pregnant, especially in the first trimester (NHS Choices 2015). Headaches in pregnancy tend to be either tension-type headaches or migraines (Bothamley and Boyle 2009, MacGregor 2012). Tension headaches won't affect your baby (MacGregor 2012, NHS Choices 2015). Your baby won't be harmed while you're having a migraine either. However, getting migraines during pregnancy is linked with an increased risk of high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia (MacGregor 2012, NICE 2014).
