Yes mine bled a very little bit about 5 weeks into the pregnancy and was only prevalent for a few days. Now my gums are back to normal and I'm 6 weeks 3 days.

oh yeah! when you're pregnant your body goes a little crazy with the hormones and trying to keep the "bad stuff" away. and ur mouth is the dirtiest place on you. so your gums will become sensitive even a bit swollen sometimes and bleed. i had braces and mine were always bleeding and my gums even receded a bit too.

as long as you have been to the dentist resently then its fine, when you are pregnant there is extra bloodflow everywhere including your gums. Just be sure to have a dentist apointment during your pregnancy, perferably in the begining. any kind of infection including gingivitis can be dangerous to your baby.

Increased blood volume and sensitive membranes are the reason (same culprits are behind bleeding after sex). You may want to consult your dentist to rule out gingivitis, my dentist told me that a recent study found a link between gingivitis and low birth weight.

yes
make sure to take you prenatals as the baby is draining you of all the vitamins and calcium and that's why your gums bleed
