It can be because of hormonal imbalance too. You need to do scaling of you teeth done every 6 months by your dentist. If possible, post your clinical pictures of your gums. But generally after 6 months of pregnancy, this problem doesnt happen. But still if you are using any medicine for your any other health problem, please let me know, dont neglect to your bleeding gums. If you will post your clinical pictures , I can tell you in detail
