Hi,
Yes, during pregnancy there would be bleeding gums even if there are slightest of the deposits in some people and this thing reduces after delivery. But if the deposits are still present in the oral cavity, then the bleeding gums continue. Visit a nearby dentist and get a round of Scaling done. Even after scaling if the bleeding gums persists, then further investigations can be done.
Most likely you have tartar deposits leading to inflammation in your gums ( gingivitis). Is usually resolves after a dental cleaning procedure followed by maintaining a good oral hygiene and brushing habits.
