Ugh, all day (and night) i can smell my own breath and it makes me wretch. Anyone elses breath does too. Just wondering if anyone has found a certain product that had helped? I'm only thirteen weeks Sad

If it helps, i found that the smells that made me sick until 17 weeks didn't bother me at all after that. Until 17 weeks even the word 'pakora' made me vomit, but last week (28 weeks) I ate some! So your strong aversion to the smell might well fade.
Oral hygine can suffer during pregnancy both because of increased blood supply to the area, and because of vomiting, poor food choices when nauseous etc.

If you vomit dont brush your teeth right away; swill some toothpaste or mouthwash around your mouth right afterwards and then brush at least an hour later.
Also visit your dentist regularly; it's free during pregnancy and they can spot problems before they become serious.
