I am 11 week preg and cant get rid of terrible taste in my mouth, tried hot drinks, cold drinks, lollys, sweets, mints, brushing teeth and no mater what it always comes back. Dont remember being this bad before.

Oh I remeber this now, It seems to always come back you can't really get rid of it I just kept sucking mints to mask it.

The only thing that worked for me was giving birth - sorry.

It's horrible isn't it, the nasty taste left my mouth at about 16 weeks so hopefully you won't have to go through all pg with it. I found the only thing that helped a little was ice-cream.

ah chicagomum - that's what I was thinking of!

Micromum, you can normally find aquadrops in asda near to the chewing gum next to where you pay ... they also come in apple flavour...very thirst quenching!
