Stuff tasting weird

[ChagSameachDoreen]

A new low this morning in the world of first trimester weirdness 🤣

My tea tastes like a mixture between Guinness and really yeasty bread. Whyyyy? I absolutely live for tea. It was bad enough having to cut down to just a couple of cups a day, but now i can't stand the taste of it at all!

Anyone else finding that stuff tastes weird?

Really normal, nothing to worry about.

Really normal. When I was first pregnant with DD (bit before I knew I was iyswim) I accused our admin team of swapping out the good coffee for cheaper stuff as it tasted so bloody awful. Mucho apologies and red-facedness when I got the positive pregnancy test and the penny dropped!

I had some chocolate that tasted of liquorice 🤢

I brushed my teeth and immediately spat it out because I thought I must have used a tube of lotion instead of toothpaste. Turns out the toothpaste just doesn’t taste minty anymore

I go off tea in about week 7 of pregnancy and that's it then until after the birth, and I usually love tea. Its normal, unfortunate but normal!

I thought the toothpaste had 'gone off' so I bought a replacement. Same taste. So I assumed my husband had been using my toothbrush - bought a replacement. Not that. Then I found out I was expecting.

When this happened again a couple of years later, I knew I was expecting again - it happened around a week before my period was due.

Same thing happened to both my daughters - a quarter of a century later (toothbrush/toothpaste doubt). 🤣

Hot chocolate tasted foul to me. I actually thought the one I'd gotten from cafe Nero was off it tasted that grim. My DSIS tasted it said it tasted just fine and that's how I knew I was Pregnant. It was the heightened sense of smell that got me. As soon as I walked out into our communal hallway I was boaking from the smell. I'd literally have to come out hold my breath, run to the main door unlock that and quickly run outside to breathe in fresh air then hold my breath again and run back inside to lock my door before running back outside again. If I didn't manage to get the outer door open in time I'd have to run back into mine to throw up
