32 weeks pregnant - what to expect?
As you know, hormones are constantly changing during a pregnancy. Some of these hormonal changes affect your ligaments, even the ones in your mouth. When ligaments begin to relax, the small ligaments that hold your teeth together in your mouth start to make the teeth feel loose. Do not worry, as this is not the case at all. This feeling is temporary and will go away soon after you give birth, and your hormones begin to regulate again. Sores in the mouth will also go away after birth as well; right now your immune system is working overtime to remove germs from your mouth. Continue to practice proper dental hygiene, floss daily, and be sure to brush twice a day.
