Pregnancy and bad taste in mouth?

Question

I am pregnant and I have this consistent bad taste in my mouth.It's so bad that it is almost preoccupying.I constantly feel like spitting or to swallow the saliva,but it doesn't help.
I had same problem in my 1st pregnancy too and it gave me a hard time.
Anyone else with similar symptoms or it's all in my head?

Answer 1

I had this, too. The only explanation I could find was that some doctors think it's because of prenatal vitamins, but I had it before I started taking prenatal vitamins. It's probably just something in your regular vitamins and minerals that are adjusting themselves funny! Just chew some gum or keep some mints around. Mine stopped around week 10.

Answer 2

oh wow no!!! its not in your head! i had the same problem with both my pregnancys. sometimes its a nasty bitter taste, and other times its like a metallic taste too...lol thats so funny i thought i was the only one. i was a constant gum chewer! lol chewing gum, and brushing a couple times a day really helped me. i wish you the best of luck with it...i know its horrible!!!
