Its strange- but my teeth are extremely sensitive lately and I am wondering if it is from pregnancy. I went to the dentist before I got pregnant so please no "go to your dentist" responses. Thanks!

Pregnancy causes hormonal fluctuations that increase your risk for gingivitis. The changing hormone levels in your body can make your gums more sensitive to harmful plaque—the colorless, sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. Furthermore, if you already have signs of gum disease, being pregnant may make it worse. This is why it’s vital to pay more careful attention to your daily brushing and flossing routine to keep plaque under control. check the following site to know more information http://www.oralb.com/learningcenter/conditions/pregnancy.asp

My teeth were sensitive and my gums bled a lot which I found out was fairly common in pregnant women

I had EXTREMELY sensitive teeth with my pregnancy. My teeth bled every time I brushed them.

Could it be possible that your not getting enough calcium and it's affecting your teeth? You might want to ask your obgyn at your next visit.
