These changes can affect oral health during pregnancy due to a change in diet and oral hygiene is lacking. Gingivitis is one that is highly susceptible to periodontal disease occurs when the maintenance of oral health in pregnant women is not properly maintained. The purpose of this study was to describe the gingival status of pregnant women in health centers Bahu Manado. This was a descriptive cross sectional (cross-sectional) study. There were 34 samples obtained by using consecutive sampling and their gingival indexes were measured with Loe and Sillness method. The results showed that among the pregnant women in the second trimester there were 11 (79%) that experienced inflammation. Most pregnant women in the third trimester experienced severe inflammation as many as 16 people (80%). There were 2 pregnant women with mild, 14 moderate, and 18 with severe inflammation. Conclusion: All pregnant women in this study did not have normal gingival status and their inflammation were severe, moderate, and mild respectively. Pregnant women with gestational age third trimester had higher gingival indexes which meant more inflammed status. It is expected that health centers improve the program of oral health care of pregnant women, such as promotional activities on the importance of health and oral hygiene during pregnancy, motivation, and advicing the pregnant women to check to the dentists during pregnancy.
