My gran has always told me to have really salty water and just swish it around your mouth. That's all I've ever taken, I get them fairly often! It usually clears within a couple of days and I just use that wash after every meal, before bed, when I get up.... A lot! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi - I haven't had them since being pregnant but I used to have them a lot and had a terrible a three month stint middle of the year where they occurred constantly and usually several at once.. It came down to being Vit B deficient (apparently caused by stress for some people) so the dr recommended Vit B12 supplement and I've never had the problem since. I haven't been taking them since TTC and or being pregnant but I also haven't had ulcers back either.
if I did I'd be checking with my MW if I can take them given I know it's worked for me in the past. Hope that helps .... I feel for you - I remember the agony - I was close to tears some times with them. Heather ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have them toooo so I totally feel your pain!! I'm not pregnant however. Doctor told me they're from being run down & use bonjella & the salt water wash..
Mine got really bad so I went to back to the Dr (different guy) and HE thinks it's thrush so I'm on Daktarin. Hope u feel better soon x |

Thanks girls will do lots of salt water for now, hopefully it wont turn to a doctors visit. I have never had this before... I have had issues in the past with B12 and always get that checked, wonder if thats it.
Def just about in tears, its just so dam sore!!! Hope i manage some sleep tonight. -------------

Try dabbing some baking soda on them Manda, seems to help numb the pain! Hope they go away soon!! -------------

Yup I've been told it's to do with a poor diet and being run down. Which usually happens when you're UTD, sick... Such a pita! I get them constantly! And they get worse for me with lack of sleep and being sick! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Mum always told me they were from eating junk food and lollies, but who knows if that's true ^^
I get them every now and then, or have my wisdom teeth playing up and I usually just wait it out. |

Yeah, that's what my mum told me when I was younger 'Oh it's all the junk and lollies!' now I get 'It's because you're run down, how's your diet.... blah!'  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Well i guess my diet has changed a bit since being pregnant.... i cant stand lollies and chocolate as much all i want is fruit, and im still loosing weight! So dont think its crap food. hehe.
On a good note i managed to get a great sleep last night and my mouth is feeling alot better today, hopefully i can manage some food, hard to grow a baby when you just dont want to eat because its so painful! -------------

I always use bonjela or this stuff called Frador (not sure if its pg friendly tho) it hurts to put on but numbs them for a while, I've used oracort too but I found it used to get stuck to my cheeks etc and wasn't as good to use, altho it is quite soothing.
Hope you get some relief soon! ------------- Lisa mummy to Ryan http://www.alterna-tickers.com">
