Bleeding 🩸 gums 😢

Is it normal to have bleeding 🩸 gums while brushing teeth every day ? I’m bit concerned now because it’s been going on ever since the beginning of my pregnancy until today and I’m currently at 20 weeks. It doesn’t hurt and I brush ever so lightly cos I was afraid as it tends to bleed alot. Previous appointment doctor told me nothing to worry, today another doctor said there might be an underlying issue. I just don’t want it to harm the baby you know... any moms experience this please share with me how u treat it?

My gums also bled when I was in the 2nd trimester. Now that I'm in the 3rd trimester, it still bleeds from time to time. I had a dental appointment previously at week 16 and my dentist says the bleeding is normal. If you're worried, visit a dentist and also ask your gynae. They might run you through a blood test if they have concerns.
