Sore gums can be pretty normal in pregnancy, but if they are really red, sore or bleed easily when you brush, it might be worth getting to a dentist for them to have a quick look, just to rule out gingivitis. They may recommend you have a scale and clean if you haven't had one in a while - that can help.
Just make sure you let them know your pregnant so they don't take any x-rays.
I generally have pretty sensitive teeth and have found that Sensodyne toothpaste works really well - my teeth have hardly been sore this pregnancy (except just talking about it makes them ache :shock: )
