eeeeeeh lol to be honest i have no idea. i cant imagine it hurting your baby just now or at all but i do sujest no matter how much u might hate the dentist you will have to go b4 it gets sore.
you will need to mention your preg coz of the medication you will need to get it fixed but it it sounds like a bad gum infection. keep rinsing it to keep it clean until it gets checked.

let me tell you why it can affect your baby... in simple words bacteria are the cause of tooth infections
bacteria produces (prostaglandins) a substance that it is the same that your body produce to stimulates the uterus to contract in the moment of birth and because this infection is producing a lot of this substance your body will think that it is time to give birth before the real time ,and because of this mouth infections are associated with miscarriages and premature babies , there is a new campaign of March of Dimes that explain to moms how to prevent premature babies with a simple dental visit

seen my dentist
i have seen my dentist today i woke up early to see him as i could not sleep
he told me to stop listening to people on here its not true
and as a fact the puss is coming out so it is a good thing it wont harm the baby ...if the puss stays in and doesnt come out them you gt problems

i checked that thing up OB/Gyn studies it says nothing about miscarriages only premature birth.

anyway im haveing the tooth exctracted two other teeth need extracting aswell but theyer not causein any problems so they will stay until the babs born
