Pregnancy Tumor

That's the term given to the cyst that grew on my gums when I was pregnant with Alycia. The cyst or rather the overgrowth of the gums (between the teeth) was so huge that the dental surgeon and the Periodontist (gums specialist) told me they have never seen anything so huge before. Thank God, the cyst went away after I delivered Alycia. Now, the cyst is growing again, at the exact same spot that I had it 4.5 years ago. Luckily it did not grow much earlier. When I was carrying Alycia, the cyst grew during the initial stages of my pregnancy and bled so much. Well, I only have 1 more week to suffer and hopefully by then, the cyst would have subsided too.
