Hi ladies, as the heading suggests, I'm after tips for getting rid of a really horrible taste!!

It's not a metallic taste but it's really hard to describe!!

It's fine when I'm eating but comes back as soon as I've finished. Mints only get rid of it for a very short time!! I'm not able to constantly brush my teeth as it makes me heave so really need some suggestions!!

I've got really bad nausea (no sickness. Yet.) but I haven't found anything I'm repulsed by yet Hmm so willing to try anything!!

Ps dh says my breath doesn't smell so it's in my head but what does he know. Shut the fuck up and go back on your ps4. Arse

Mouthwash and toothpaste! Garlicy foods(if you can handle it with sickness) should balance the metallic taste. I know what taste your on about - I used to get it every time my braces got changed when I was younger and a little bit during pregnancy, it really is awful!!

Congratulations by the wayFlowers!

Thanks and congratulations to you too Flowers

I actually had garlic chicken for dinner but it's not made a difference Sad

I might try mouthwash throughout the day and see if that helps. Brushing my teeth is a massive challenge and was actually one of my first symptoms as only struggled to brush when pg!!

I've had it too with this pregnancy (was fine last time around). I'm afraid nothing has shifted it, bit I'm used to it now and hardly notice. I'm 34 weeks. Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon so I can enjoy food again!

Aww no! Don't tell me this could last the whole pregnancy! I didn't have this at all with DD or DS! Saying that I didn't have just nausea with them either lol it was full blown spewing Confused
