I started this blog a little while ago, shortly after finding out I am pregnant. It is a time of big and unexpected changes for me and I feel the need to share this experience. I don't know if it's the usual reaction, but this is my feeling and I go with it, writing here. I am also reading a lot about all that pregnancy means, but I feel this inexplicable need to document this time of my life.
Is it strange? I don't really care. I go with my feeling and I will do my best to explain everything and maybe to be of help to someone who is going through this and needs something and someone to relate to.
For instance, I started to face a problem I didn't have before: my gums are bleeding when brushing my teeth. It is not painful, but disturbing since the bleeding doesn't stop fast, but it eventually stops by itself. The first time it happened I was a little scared, so I looked it up on internet :) They say that 50-100% of the pregnant women have this gum problem. None of my friends nor my mother faced this. So, again, I am alone with the internet and my doctor. Apparently, I am among the lucky ones. For some it brings complications that require special medical attention. For me, until now, there is nothing dramatic. As advised, I will go on brushing my teeth twice a day, I use dental floss as usual, ignoring the bleeding. Keeping my teeth clean is the most important.
