    funny you mention this. I didn't have it last time, but man this time.....it's got something to do with your body telling you it needs a certain mineral I think....please don't ask which one though....

    I had this in my first trimester and I think it was because my gums got soft, just make sure you're taking your vitamins and if you're concerned, mention it to your doc on your next appointment.

    its totally fine to take vitamins .. infact its reccomended . ask your chemist about them there is heaps of pregnancy vitamins out there ....

    they have all the goodness a pg woman needs for those 9 months and beyond for breast feeding ...
