HELP!! vile taste in mouth

[sam26oscar]

hi, not sure if anyone else has this problem but since i was 5weeks pg i have had constant fowl taste in mouth, its not metalic, well, not what i think metalic tastes like!! The taste seems to make me feel more sick than regular m/s?? Its there all the time and only eases if i eat, but then after i eat i feel sooo sick that sometimes i think its just not worth eating has anyone else have this?? if so how do you get rid of it and how long does it last?? really don't remember this first time round!! Thanks

Oh yes I had this - it was what made me first think that I was pregnant.

Nothing could get rid of the taste although constantly chewing gum helped dull it and made me feel less sick

I had this. It's horrid. You poor thing. It went at about 12 weeks for me (along with sickness), and I think that's pretty usual. Some people are lucky in that it goes even sooner. I dont know how PG you are, but you might be one of them

Chin up. And congratulations!

Yep I had it too. It wasn't metallic just horrid, made everything else taste horrid too. It only went away when I ate something. However I asked on MN and most ladies found that the taste disappeared around 13-15 weeks. Lo and behold am 14 wks on saturday and mine seems to have gone!

Thank God for mn!!!KFW am 9 weeks and have had it now for 4 weeks and counting but looking at all you kind people there is light at the end of the tunnel and fingers crossed will go soon i have lost weight but still got ever growing belly typical lose weight but no flat belly to show for it

Yes, I had this too. Worthwhile avoiding pine nuts, incidentally - they're often from China and can leave a similar metallic taste for a few days.

Interesting about the pine nuts octavia cos i eat loads. I wonder if they made it worse hmmm.......

will bear that in mind octavia
LimaCharlie not sure if can stomach mint may pluck up courage over the weekend and get some chewing gum!!

I had the same - totally put me off food, apart from fruit. Just like everyone else it disappeared at around the same time as the morning sickness stopped - around 14 weeks, I think.

I still have this at 14 weeks. Apples help as do those little pots of chopped fruit, peaches or pineapple, in juice. I find that sugary foods and drinks make it worse. Otherwise, brushing or gargling as often as possible.

I had it, and found oranges/tangerines/satsumas etc helped get rid of it for an hour or so.
