Hey girls! I am in my 17th week and was wondering if anyone else has experienced pain in thier teeth during pregnancy. I`ve read that your gums can bleed and become sore but my gums look and feel healthy. I just feel like my teeth are almost a little loose and hurt if I apply any pressure. Thanks for your help!

If you aren't getting enough calcium from your diet, your baby will just take it from you anyway, absorbing it from your teeth and bones = weak bones and teeth. I recommend then taking an extra supplement twice daily depending on the dosage.

However- the symptoms you are describing sound like a calcium deficiency. If you aren't getting enough calcium from your diet, your baby will just take it from you anyway, absorbing it from your teeth and bones = weak bones and teeth. I recommend then taking an extra supplement twice to three times daily depending on the dosage on the bottle. I take Jamesion brand with magnesium and had similar symptoms about a month after birth. I craved dairy during pregnancy but not after and the needed daily calcium intake stays the same during pregnancy and afterwards if breastfeeding (3-4 servings a day). The supplements took care of the weak teeth feeling after about 2-3 weeks. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/basics-base/serving-portion_e.html
