Has anyone else pointed it out? Its more likely that you're breath is normal, and youre just hyper sensitive to it. Every pregnant woman has that one thing that smells horrific, it doesnt have to make you sick, its just that one smell that is amplified. For me, it was the smell of my body, and the smell of my husband after he showered. To me those things smelled revolting.
Your body's pH changes when you're pregnant, and that can effect your mouth. I suggest listerine.
Beyond all that, you're right, its possible that you've got a cold coming on.

I don't think it has to do with being "sensitive" to smell/odours. It happened to me too!!
I NEVER had a cavity. I always brush my teeth. And during the second trimester I started getting bad breath! I honestly dont know why, and it wasn't the food I was eating either.
I mean, the main reason I knew I had bad breath was because my sister would comment on how STINKY my breath got!! LOL. Plus, I could smell it aswell. Well, now I have a REALLY bad cold, so I dont know if bad breath is a sign of getting a cold...
But seriously, my breath changed aswell, and I'm always sure to have gum with me and mints.....I wouldn't want people dying from my breath!! lol...

Its your hormones hun, your body will do thing and produce smells all through pregnancy. Not only that but your sense of smell triples when you are pregnant so your breath may not be as bad to everyone else as it is to you. But her is some info for you about this...
Gum and Teeth Changes
During pregnancy, your gums are more likely to become inflamed or infected. Most pregnant women have some bleeding of their gums, especially while brushing or flossing their teeth. Inflamed gums are called ”gingivitis.” Infected gums are called “periodontal disease.”
You may also notice that your mouth produces more saliva during pregnancy.
Causes of Gum and Teeth Changes During Pregnancy
Your gums and teeth may change during pregnancy because of:
Hormonal changes that occur
Increased blood flow throughout your body that can cause swelling, sensitivity and tenderness in your gums

Be prepared for all that kind of stuff. Women when pregnant senses hieghten some more then others. Foods are going to taste stronger then before. You will smell things you didn't even know you could smell and there will be things that you feel that will just irritate you or feel really good to you. It's apart of the pregnant cycle. You'll get used to it though. Congratulations MOMMY! Oh and you will tend to crave some wierd foods also!

Bad breath is a serious social problem for many people regardless of age and status in life. Brushing the teeth to remove plaque and tartar helps, as does treating canker sores that may appear on the gums and taking other steps to maintain good oral hygiene. Unless bad breath is kept under control by tooth brushing and flossing and where necessary, the use of antibacterial products at http://www.oramd.com/bad-breath.htm the condition will recur.

A few seeds of cardamom chewed for a brief while will clear your mouth of bad breath. Chew parsley leaves,which are sure to keep your breath fresh. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/

You are probably dehydrated. Pregnancy requires more water from your body. Just boost up your water intake.
