Do you remember getting your second teeth as a child? It is pretty similar. It might be a little sore back behind your back molar; then you would feel a little bit of tooth sticking out of the gum.
My wisdom teeth came in when I was in my 50s, after menopause! Then I had to have them removed because one was rotten and the other was impacted.
The dentist told me that it is much easier to have them out when you are young, because the root keeps growing. And they really don't want to do it during late pregnancy because (they say) What if you go into labor?

It's very sore and swollen. Usually there is no room in your mouth for them so the wisdom teeth push your other teeth. You might want to try some teething gel or diluted clove oil to make it feel better. Good luck!

My experience was a lot like Meagan's above. Every couple of months they would start to come in, hurt for 3 days, and then heal over. That went on for about 5 years (from about 16 to about 21) when they finally came in for good.
They would be achey and I would have a real urge to bite down on things (gum was good).

It sucks big time. But as long as you don't get dry socket you the pain stops and you are able to eat normally after about a week. The day after is the worst cause you are hungry and can't eat and your jaw hurts really bad. The best thing to do it take your pain meds and sleep as much as possible so you don't think about it.

It hurts! When mine were growing in I could understand what those poor babies feel when they're teething! Because that's excactly what you feel like doing; putting something in your mouth to chew on to ease the pain. Your dentist will probably recommend getting them removed to avoid misalignment in the rest of your teeth. Plus you don't ever get that problem of accidentally biting your gums when you chew anymore.

For me it always felt like I had a jaw problem, I always had popping in the jaw and pain, gum really sore too... mine only would come in a little bit at a time so every 3 months or so, for about 3 days, it would hurt and then it would go away..

It hurt me like hell for about a week. Then after it grew in over the months I didn't even notice. I didn't thankfully have to have mine removed. But my mom did. So if yours is becoming a huge problem I suggest seeing the doctor about removing it whether you pregnant or not.

Hurts like heck. Gums are sore and puffy. It can take a while for them to come through and if they don't you may have to have your dentist remove them. But they usually don't mess with your teeth when you're pregnant.

It varies, mine was very painful my dentist gave my some kind of numbing mouthwash, it worked a treat. Go to your dentist if your wisdom teeth are coming in
