I am approaching 12 weeks soon. I was plagued with very bad nausea/vomitting/headaches for the first few weeks.
But now, all of that is gone and I just always have a strange salty, disgusting taste in my mouth like when you first wake up in the morning. I keep wanting to brush my teeth or rinse with mouthwash every hour. I know the easy solution is to keep sucking on candy but I don’t want to gain the weight that will come with it. What to do??? The only thing I want to eat is potato chips or fries. help!

Metal mouth! Fries and crisps are the only thing I can eat araam se otherwise I-hate-food aaj kal, second trimester for me too. Also I read that craving for crisps/fries with salt is good if you have low bp.

I hear you guys too! It’s still early on in the first trimester for me still but I have an awful taste in my mouth too. It’s hard to shake off except when I am eating. After I am done eating it goes back to normal. Yuck!

Eat saunf whenever you feel this . It will also gives you fresh breath and makes you feel better in. Vomit

Re: first trimester…horrible taste in mouth

try chewing a gum?

i always have a habit of chewing gum (even before pregnancy) so i don’t have the taste in my mouth

try some water fruits like water melon/pineaple/grapes etc… might help :slight_smile:

I tried everything and kept eating sweet things to get rid of it. No luck. But then i noticed that if I had protein (meat in particular) it got much better.
